Water leak detection is divided up into many categories.
RESIDENTIAL -- indoor slab leaks(hot & cold water), outdoor metallic water pipe leaks, PVC irrigation and water service leaks.
The presence of water does not dictate that you have leak…it just means you have a wet spot.
Water can come from many different sources. Broken sewers, &drain pipes, leaking appliances, water supply tubes, condensate lines, faulty caulking at showers, tubs, & sinks, secondary irrigation, and even human error.
The first order of business is to identify the source of the water; this can be done by watching consumption through the water meter or with a static pressure test. If the meter does not move and/or the static gauge holds pressure; you do not have a pressurized water leak. You need to look somewhere else for the source of the water.
If you have meter movement, SoCal Leak Detection can survey your property with an Electronic Leak Detection Service
and determine what and where you water leak is. The metallic water pipes can also be located and marked to aid in the decision of how you will affect the repair of the leaking pipe.
If the leak is in a non-metallic water pipe; the leak can be pinpointed but the location and direction of the PVC water pipe probably cannot be ascertained.
NOTE: Only one leak at a time can be accurately located. The leak that is located will need to be repaired first, then a survey can be performed to locate any other leaks that many be present for an additional fee.
