The Signs of a Water Leak….
There are several signs that provide residential homeowners in the Dallas / Ft. Worth area with evidence of a possible fresh water plumbing leak. These include the following:
- Unexplained puddles of water appearing within a building or home
- Wood floors that appear to be buckling
- Warm spot on the floor
- Standing water outside or even a soggy lawn
- Unexplained hissing or a whooshing sound usually caused by water rapidly exiting at the leak location in the pressurized pipe
- A steady or sudden rise in water usage and water bill increases
What Can a Homeowner Do…
To verify a possible water leak or just to make sure there isn’t one:
- Ensure that all water is off in the home; such as: faucets & fixtures, dishwasher, washing machine, etc. etc.
- Repair or shut off the angle stop where there are any dripping faucets and/or running toilets as this could also be a sign of a water leak
- Inspect the gauge on the city water meter, movement on the gauge would indicate a water leak. Even if the city water meter gauge is not immediately moving, note the position and wait about 15 minutes and check the meter again, if it has moved, even the slightest, this could signify a very slow leak.
Water Leak Detection & Isolation
Offered by DFW Pipe & Plumbing & Plumbing
DFW Pipe & Plumbing & Plumbing will commence by verifying the existence of the suspected fresh water pipe leak(s) by performing a pressure test on the water system then proceed with pinpointing the location of the leak. Utilizing Electronic Line Tracing equipment ensures that a pipe is present and the path of the plumbing pipe is traced. Air is also introduced into the plumbing pipe (if needed), to aid in discovery. Then while operating Acoustic Leak Detection equipment where the sound is electronically amplified, we continue to track the amplification of the pipe leak while tracing the presence of the pipe in the slab to the location where the leak reverberates the loudest, pinpointing the location of the pipe and the under slab plumbing leak.
Once the plumbing leak has been found, suitable repair option(s) can be recommended and estimate(s) are provided for each type of repair, where the homeowner can choose what is suitable for their situation. These pipe repair methods are mentioned below.
Gas Leaks, Gas Testing, & Gas Line Leak Repairs
Your gas company may have notified you and shut off your gas or you may suspect that you have a gas line break or a natural gas leak. This is a serious matter and cannot be left for later. The gas leak should be detected and located immediately. Gas has no odor or color and because of that, a rotten egg smell has been added to it, to make it more identifiable. If you smell that, you probably have a leak. Exit immediately, shut off your gas if you know how, leave windows and doors open for ventilation and notify the gas company if they haven’t already notified you and shut off the gas.
DFW Pipe & Plumbing & Plumbing’s gas leak detector will determine the appliances throughout the home that are supplied by gas and begin to isolate and test each gas line and connection within the home and outside the home to determine where the leak(s) are located. Once the testing is complete and the gas leak is identified, our gas leak detector will provide an estimate for the needed repairs to the gas pipe.
Leak Repair & Pipe Replacement Methods
Offered by DFW Pipe & Plumbing & Plumbing
Slab Penetration
A leak repair method where a hole is jack hammered into the slab and the dirt is removed above the location of the leaking water pipe aka slab leak. The broken section of pipe is removed and replaced with new pipe. The hole is backfilled and the concrete slab is reinstated. Slab Penetrations can be messy and may involve secondary costs beyond the repair itself such as the removal of cabinets or custom flooring in order to access and repair the leaking water pipe. *(Similar method used for Sewer & Drain repairs or replacement).
Under Slab Tunneling
Typically, this method of repair is considered if the leaking hot or cold water line is in close proximity to an exterior wall or to eliminate secondary costs, such as, the repair to cabinets or custom flooring that may arise with other methods of repair. A hole is dug from the exterior wall on the outside of the home and a tunnel is dug underneath the slab to the location of the leaking plumbing pipe. Upon reaching the hot or cold water leak, the pipe it is removed and replaced with new pipe. Damage to existing landscaping may also occur when this method of repair is chosen or required. *(Similar method used for Sewer & Drain repairs or replacement).
Yard Line / Main Line Replacement
This is required should the main water line from the city tap to the entrance of the home require leak repair or replacement. A backhoe is used to dig up the line and/or the line is hand-dug, the broken main water line is repaired or the entire main line is replaced with new pipe and the trench is backfilled. This method may also involve tunneling underneath or jack hammering through concrete driveways or sidewalks. *(Similar method used for Sewer & Drain repairs or replacement).
