Spotting the Signs of a Leak

Detecting a leak early is extremely important for those who want to avoid major damage. Keep an eye out for these telltale signs:

  • Unusual Water Bills: A sudden spike in your water bill often indicates a leak.
  • Mysterious Sounds: Unexplained sounds of running water when all taps are off should raise an alarm.
  • Damp Spots: Look for unexplained wet areas on floors, walls, or ceilings.
  • Mold and Mildew: These not only signify a moisture problem but can also pose health risks.
  • Cracks in Foundation: Over time, leaks can weaken structures, leading to visible cracks.

Why Leaks Occur

Leaks can be caused by a wide range of issues. Common culprits include:

  • Aging Pipes: Over time, pipes corrode or deteriorate, leading to leaks.
  • High Water Pressure: Excessive pressure can strain your plumbing system.
  • Clogged Lines: Blockages can cause pipes to burst, resulting in leaks.
  • Tree Roots: These can invade and damage underground pipes.
  • Temperature Changes: Extreme temperature shifts can cause pipes to expand and contract, leading to cracks.

DIY Leak Detection Techniques

Here are some simple steps you can take to detect leaks:

  • Check Your Water Meter: Turn off all water-using appliances and observe if the meter continues to move.
  • Food Coloring Test for Toilets: A few drops of food coloring in the toilet tank can reveal a leak if the color appears in the bowl without flushing.
  • Inspect Appliances and Fixtures: Regularly check under sinks, behind toilets, and around appliances for signs of leaks.
  • Use Your Senses: Listen for leaks, look for wet spots, and be mindful of musty odors.

Professional Leak Detection in La Puente, CA

When DIY methods fall short, it's time to call in the pros. Professional plumbers use advanced techniques like:

  • Acoustic Leak Detection: Specialized equipment to listen for the unique sound frequencies produced by leaks.
  • Thermal Imaging Cameras: These detect temperature variations in walls and floors, indicating possible leaks.
  • Video Pipe Inspection: A camera fed into your pipes provides a real-time view of their condition.
  • Pressure Testing: This involves applying pressure to the system to identify leak points.

Our service technician, Chris,  showed up on time was professional and friendly.  I had a leak coming out of the bottom of the wall in the garage.  Chris was able to diagnose the leak quickly and take care of the problem.  He explained every step of the process.  Would highly recommend Speed Plumbing, Inc.

Unfortunately, High Speed plumbing was my 2nd call. The first guy to arrive said the whole toilet... seat and tank needed to be replaced, and it would cost $$$$. I believed it was the flapper valve, so I sent them on their way. Ron,  and his helper Jaime, arrived from High Speed... took a look, told me it's your flapper valve... and it'll cost $$. 10 minutes later they were done and gone. Solid, respectful, and professional!!!

Found a slab leak steaming from my garage near my water heater on a Thursday evening. Chris was on the job by 9:30 am on Friday. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional and took the time to include me in all that was doing. Cesar showed up midway through the job to lend Chris a hand and both gentlemen did FANTASTIC work! I will most definitely be calling them again for any future work I may need! Update: We had a second leak in a different area of the house on Sunday. Made a call and Ron came out to solve that problem efficiently and professionally. Can’t say enough the great work that team does over at High Speed Plumbing. So glad I made that initial call!

Called Juan at night about a gas leak the Gas Co, found that caused the Gas Co to red tag the meter and shut it off. Juan sent Christopher the next morning. He is a great guy with a great attitude and super professional skill. His ethics are high. High Speed I was told is a term used in military(veteran owned and staffed company) that denotes someone who is quick, resourceful and accurate at getting issues dealt with. By that standard Chris is definitely a "high speed" Thank you and may God Bless you and your Company  :-)

Same day service inspection and estimate was provided.  Service was offered same day, but we scheduled it to fit our convenience and they were very accommodating.   New tankless water heater installed and old water tank removed.  Roof venting work performed as well.  No complaints.  Happy to use them in the future.

John, Service Manager was very knowledgeable, professional and a very pleasant gentleman.  He assessed our plumbing issues and recommended that a restoration company come out and access the water damage due to ongoing toilet/piping issue from our upstairs restroom.  It's been running into our kitchen cabinet downstairs.  Luckily, our home insurance guy called while the John was still here.  John was able to give the Adjuster the information needed to have Service Master's come out tonight to assessment the water damage. I'm so grateful that John took the time to explain and show me the issues we were having. . John, you were truly heaven sent.  Your honesty and direction was much appreciated. Thank you.
