Professional Leak Detection Techniques

At Total Comfort Services, we use advanced methods to detect leaks, including:

• Thermal Imaging: Identifies temperature variations caused by water leaks.
• Acoustic Devices: Detect the sound of water escaping from pipes, even in hidden areas.
• Pressure Testing: Measures the integrity of the plumbing system to identify weak points.

These non-invasive techniques allow us to locate leaks with precision, minimizing disruption to your home.

Slab Leak Detection and Repair

Slab leaks occur when water pipes under the foundation of your home crack or break. Left undetected, these leaks can compromise the structural integrity of your property. Signs of a slab leak include:

• Warm spots on the floor.
• Unexplained spikes in water bills.
• Visible cracks in the walls or flooring.

Our team specializes in slab leak detection and repair, using advanced equipment to identify the issue without causing unnecessary damage. Once located, we perform targeted repairs to restore your plumbing system and protect your home’s foundation.

Preventing Leaks During Big Freezes

Freezing temperatures can wreak havoc on plumbing systems, leading to burst pipes and extensive water damage. To prevent leaks during big freezes:

• Insulate Pipes: Wrap exposed pipes with insulation or heat tape.
• Let Faucets Drip: Running water reduces pressure in the pipes and helps prevent freezing.
• Seal Drafts: Use caulk or weatherstripping to keep cold air out of crawl spaces or basements.
• Maintain Consistent Temperatures: Keep your thermostat at a steady temperature, even when away.

Implementing these preventive measures can help protect your plumbing system during extreme weather.
