Water Leak Detection & Repair

Water Leak Detection Services

Water leaks are the most common problem faced by the residents of the greater Chicago area. The cold harsh weather results in the freezing of water pipes and eventually leads to leaks. To make it even worse, most leaks that occur are either in the pipe inside the wall or underneath the concrete and detecting these leaks becomes a greater challenge than actually fixing them. Due to the delay in detecting a hidden water leak, they cause extensive damage over time which can cost you a lot.

Signs you have a hidden water leak

While Detecting a hidden water leak is no rocket science, it still requires an attention to detail. Look out for the following signs that indicate the possibility of a hidden water leak

Consequences of prolonged water leakage

The dire consequences that follow an unattended hidden water leakage include significant hazards and health hazards. Prolonged water leakage will result in the absorption of water into your walls or floors. This eventually leads to wrapping or swelling of the walls, floors, or the ceiling which weakens their strength and can result in devastating outcomes. Other effects on the walls are discoloration and streaks. From the perspective of your health, water leakage is often followed by the growth of mold which leads to an unhygienic environment. This mold can cause considerable health issues to the residents. The water leakage also corrodes the metal used as the building material and weakens the strength. As a result of dampness by this water, electric fittings are vulnerable to faster deterioration. Timber decay is another common outcome and therefore the expensive furniture is also affected gravely by the water leakage.
