Frequently Asked Questions About Leak Detection

Why should you avoid using chemical drain cleaners?

Avoiding chemical drain cleaners is crucial for both environmental and personal health. These cleaners often contain harsh substances that can erode pipes, leading to expensive repairs. Additionally, they pose significant risks to water quality, contaminating natural water sources and harming aquatic life. Instead, opt for natural alternatives like baking soda and vinegar, which effectively clear clogs without damaging pipes or the environment. Regular maintenance, such as using drain screens and avoiding pouring grease down the sink, can prevent clogs from forming in the first place, promoting a safer and healthier home plumbing system.

What to Do if You Discover a Leak in Your Home

When a leak is discovered, the first course of action is to turn off the emergency shut-off valve to stop the flow of water from the main supply line. This valve is typically located inside a house near where the main water line enters the home. The shut-off valve will either be a gate valve (looks like a lever) or a ball valve (has a round handle). 

In either case, the valve should be moved to the off position before dealing further with the leak. The next step is to soak up any water that has pooled on floors or other accessible areas to prevent property damage. Finally, call a plumber in San Fransisco who offers same-day leak detection and repair services. 

Nigel Mulgrew Plumbing is the company to trust for quality leak detection and repair in San Francisco. Call us today at (415) 857-9980 to get your leaks resolved quickly by our experienced plumbers.
