What Damage Can Leaks Cause to Your Home?
Unresolved leaks can cause significant property damage. Leaks in the main sewer line or water line can damage your landscaping and hardscaping, foundation, and other exterior features.
Leaks in the home can cause extensive damage to foundations, flooring, drywall, woodwork, personal possessions, electrical systems, and more.
As the water trickles in behind walls and under flooring, it creates optimal conditions for mold/mildew growth. This can cause considerable health issues and exacerbate many respiratory conditions.
When To Call a Plumber
Proactive solutions are always better than reactive repairs. We recommend scheduling a comprehensive leak detection inspection if you suspect a leak.
Our specialists use acoustic sensors, video cameras, thermal sensors, and other tools to accurately determine the presence and location of leaks in your home and around your property.

Preventative Plumbing Maintenance
An ounce of care is worth a pound of cure. When it comes to preventing leaks, proactively protecting your plumbing systems is always best. This entails:
- Watch what you flush: Personal hygiene products, paper towels, grease, fat, oil, fibrous food debris, etc., should go in the trash, not down the drain.
- Watch what you plant: Keep large trees, bushes, etc., planted well away from any pipes.
- Schedule maintenance: Your plumbing systems should be inspected yearly to verify their condition.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I repair leaks myself?
If it’s a simple tightening of a loose nut or bolt, you can probably resolve the leak yourself. However, if seals, pipes, or other systems require repair or replacement, hiring a professional plumber is best.
Can tree roots cause leaks?
Absolutely. As the root penetrates the pipe and grows, it can cause extensive damage to buried pipes.
How long does leak repair take?
If the issue requires a simple tightening, repairing a leak can be quick. If the leak is beneath the foundation or under the landscaping, the repair can take several days to a week to resolve.
