What causes leaks?

After years of experience with plumbing leak detection in Calgary, we have pinpointed 10 reasons for water leaks. These include:
 

  • corrosion of the pumps

  • excessive high water pressure

  • extreme temperature fluctuations 

  • degraded seals

  • clogged seals

  • improper plumbing installation

  • tree root infiltration

  • aging pipes

  • loose hose connections

  • environmental factors such as heavy rainfall or soil erosion

What happens if I ignore a leak? 
Ignoring a plumbing leak can have severe consequences. It can cause structural damage to your property, resulting in sagging ceilings, warped floors, and even foundational issues. The water damage caused by ignored leaks can also lead to extensive and costly repairs and replacement of personal belongings if the leak leads to a burst pipe or drips on your furniture, electronics, etc. Mold and mildew thrive when leaks are ignored, leading to health issues, odours, and pest infestations. Leaks waste water, so ignoring them will result in increased utility bills.

What is your process for leaks detection and repairs?
The Drain Doctor™ conducts an initial water detection leak assessment that thoroughly evaluates your plumbing system, including any visible signs of present or previous leaks. We also take time to speak with you to get a history of your property’s plumbing issues.

Next, we use our state-of-the-art leak detection tools to get a fuller picture of the plumbing situation in your property. We use thermal imaging, CCTV inspection, acoustic listening devices, and moisture meters to detect non-visible leaks and problems.

Once we confirm the location of your leak, we develop a repair strategy and discuss it with you. Our skilled technicians complete the planned repairs, do a post-repair inspection, and finish their time at your property by offering advice and strategies for preventing future leaks.  

Do you have any leak and water damage prevention advice for commercial property owners?
Yes. Please read our articles about How to Prevent Water Leaks and Damage in Commercial Buildings and Preventing Flood Risks: Steps to Safeguard Storm and Sanitary Drains in Commercial Properties
