Poor workmanship and inferior set up of pipes can lead to residential or commercial plumbing water leaks of all scales. Plumbers also single out lack of periodic plumbing maintenance to toilets, sinks, bathtubs, faucets and drains as a plausible cause of water leaks. Corroded or old pipes, washed-out valves and loose fittings are all responsible for plumbing leaks. Leak detection services save homeowners money that will be otherwise spent on high water bills or expensive water related damage.
Plumbing Tip: After water leak detecting immediately close the specific supply shutoff of the leaky plumbing fixture or otherwise turn off main shutoff located at your water meter.

Leak detectors and video cameras are used to inspect pipelines for gas and water leaks. Plumbers conduct pipeline leak testing under concrete slab, asphalt, and behind walls, and follow with repair or replacement of the damaged section. Special slab leak detection equipment is employed to locate and repair leaky pipes under the concrete foundation of the home.
Don't ignore the sound of running water, it might be a slab leak. Submit the adjacent form and receive plumbing estimates by local plumbers.
Leak Detection Costs
According to a survey that took place earlier this year, leak detection costs somewhere between $110 - $190. Different costs of leak detection may be a result of pricing in different locations, scope of additional work and if the job is taken by the same plumber - he may calculate the job as a whole, and include in the job the leak detection part. Note that this pricing is only for the detection job, and does not include the repair itself, which may (and usually does) cost a lot more, since this type of job may involve replace or repair flooring, drywall or ceilings.
