Most Common Causes of Leaks

As a homeowner, it’s important to know what causes leaks and broken pipes. In some cases, you can prevent leaks by avoiding certain practices and conducting maintenance. However, some natural causes make plumbing leak repair services more serious and necessary.

• Broken Seals: Seals on appliances and pipe joints can loosen or break over time.
• Clogged Drains: Clogs can weaken pipes and create pressure build-ups, leading to cracks and leaks.
• Rust and Corrosion: Pipes naturally corrode over time, leading to discolored and hazardous water.
• Intrusive Tree Roots: Tree roots can grow into your plumbing system, breaking through pipes.
• Extreme Temperatures: Fluctuations in temperature can cause pipes to expand and contract, leading to cracks.
• Added Pressure: Driving over or building on areas with underground pipes can damage them.

How Do Plumbers Detect Leaks?

There are many places around the house where leaks can arise, including:

• Toilets
• Faucets
• Water Heaters
• Plumbing Fixtures
• And More

No matter the location of the leak or how apparent it may be, it can be difficult to truly understand its location and cause. Enlist the trust of professional leak plumbers who use plumbing video cameras to thoroughly inspect and detect leaks throughout your home.

With Gilmore's advanced methods and technology, Sacramento leak detection services have never been easier.

We Can Utilize Various Leak Repair Methods

Our water leak repair services are not one-size-fits-all. We inspect your plumbing system to understand your home's complexities and the situation at hand. From there, we will utilize the best repair method to provide you with a long-term solution for leaks.

Some of the most common plumbing leak repair services we offer include:

• Pipe Patching: Small leaks can often be fixed with pipe patches or clamps that cover the leak and stop the water from escaping.
• Sealants and Epoxy Compounds: These can be applied to temporarily seal minor leaks in pipes or joints.
• Pipe Replacement: For more significant damage, the affected section of the pipe may need to be cut out and replaced with a new piece.
• Joint Repairs: Leaky joints can often be fixed by tightening the connections or applying a joint compound or plumber's tape to create a better seal.
• Pipe Relining: A resin-coated tube is inserted into the damaged pipe to create a new, durable pipe within the old one.
• Gas Leak: If you suspect a gas leak, evacuate your home immediately and contact a professional. Gas leaks require prompt and expert attention to locate and repair the source safely.
