Finding the source of the leak is primarily determined on the sort of leak you have. A leaky pipe beneath your sink is easier to locate than one that is hidden by ceilings or walls. The first step in tracking the leaky pipe is determining whether or not you have a leak, and then inspecting each area.
Move appliances as much as possible in order to find the cause of the dampness. A leaking supply line on a dishwasher, for example, will cause evidence of moisture around the device. If this does not disclose the source of the moisture, turn off every faucet, appliance and fixture in your home, and note the location of the needle on your water meter with a pencil or a piece of tape. After roughly eight hours, reread the meter. If the needle has changed, it means there is a leak somewhere within your plumbing.
If you’re unable to find the leak yourself, call in a plumber for a more extensive inspection and repair. Double L Plumbing is happy to help you with professional leak detection services. Call today!
