Fast & Efficient Leak Repair
|
Few things are as damaging as a constant water leak in your home or business. You may have noticed the brown water mark on the ceiling, or noticed your water bill has increased over the preceeding months. Maybe a wall in your home feels soft and damp. Plumbing leaks can cause serious damage to your home, as a result even weakening the structure of your home, should the leak continue for long enough. If you suspect you have a leak, don’t ignore it. Call our skilled experts at Comfort Plumbing today.
Water leaks can be detected through several different ways. Brown marks on your ceiling indicate water is leaking down from above. Soft or damp walls indicate a serious leak behind the wall. An increase in your water bill can also be a sign of a leak. Less obvious signs of a leak include dripping or gurgling noises in your home and less water pressure in one or more faucets than is normal.

In many cases, you can make a plumbing repair yourself, but those fixes are prone to fail sooner rather than later. Our residential and commercial plumbing experts can quickly determine if you have a plumbing leak, pinpoint the source of the leak, and then make permanent repairs.

Signs of leaking washing machine hose... |
There might be a musty or moldy smell in the laundry room or cracked or bulging hoses.
If you have a hose leak or washing machine overflow, turn off your washing machine and the water supply to that area of your home. Check the hoses behind the washing machine. Old and heavily rusted or corroded washing machine hoses are the most common cause of washing machine leaks. Give Comfort Plumbing a call if these issues show up.

SIGNS OF Broken Water

Broken water lines can cause immediate damage to your property as well as a sudden spike in your water bill. Because water lines are located in your walls or under your home, sometimes a leak isn’t detected until signs of property damage begin to show.
Regularly scheduled plumbing maintenance is the best way to prevent a broken water line, along with preventive measures during extreme weather conditions.
