Leak Detection

Locate Hidden Water Loss Before It Causes More Damage

Not every plumbing leak is easy to see. Water may escape behind a wall, beneath a floor, underground or near the water meter long before obvious damage appears. Chesapeake Plumbing, Inc provides leak detection and plumbing diagnosis for properties throughout Pasadena, Anne Arundel County and nearby communities.

Possible Signs of a Hidden Leak

• An unexplained increase in the water bill
• The water meter moves when fixtures are off
• Damp flooring, walls or ceilings
• Mold, mildew or musty odors
• Peeling paint or damaged drywall
• Reduced water pressure
• Wet soil, pooling water or unusually green areas outside
• The sound of running water when nothing is in use

Finding the Source

We review the symptoms, inspect accessible plumbing and use appropriate testing to narrow down the location. Depending on the situation, diagnosis may include pressure testing, meter clocking, fixture isolation or inspection of underground water and sewer lines. The objective is to locate the likely failure before recommending repair.

Leaks We Diagnose

• Fixture and supply-line leaks
• Leaks behind walls or beneath floors
• Water-heater and appliance-connection leaks
• Underground water-service leaks
• Water-main and meter-area leaks
