Water Leak Sources<\/h2><\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

While some water leaks can be easily identified, like a dripping tap or a leaking toilet line, others are not so obvious. In fact, the most nagging and costly leaks are usually undetectable without the specialized expertise provided by a leak detection company like Leak Detection of Tennessee.<\/p>\n

A leak that originates under the slab of a home or some other hidden area can cause serious damage. This is why it is important to understand the many sources of leaks and to recognize the symptoms that suggest you might have a leak that needs to be repaired.<\/p>\n

In some cases, water leaks and gas leaks can be easily seen and repaired by a plumber. Examples include a water leak inside a basement or crawl space or a gas leak in the gas line on a stove. In other cases, water leaks and gas leaks can be hidden and require the use of specialized equipment to identify the source of the leak prior to repair. These areas include:<\/p>\n

\n
• Underground, in the water supply line between the meter and your home<\/li>\n
• Under the slab of your home, in the hot or cold water plumbing line<\/li>\n
• Inside the walls and\/or floors of your home<\/li>\n
• Inside custom plumbing systems designed to heat floors, melt snow, and more<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
