If you have a water leak somewhere in your home LA Affordable Plumbing, can find it and fix it for you. Though some minor water leaks can be repaired by you at home, most water leak repair and detection should be left to a professional.

Hiring an expert to repair your water leak could also save your suburban home from extra structural damage. Our plumbers that service Los Angeles will find your leak using their experience and expertise, and efficiently track the leak to its source.

Detecting a water leak

There are ways you can detect a possible water leak on your own.  Some signs and symptoms of a leak that you can watch for are:

• Higher than normal water bills
• The sound of running water somewhere in your home when there is nothing turned on
• Sewer odors
• The water meter changes even during times when there is no water being used
• You find patches of floor or wall that are moist and/or discolored
• Mildew

If you come across any of these signs, LA Affordable Plumbing will identify the source of your water leak and provide you with some options to address the problem.

Water Leaks can occur for a variety of reasons. They can happen due to improper maintenance (or lack of maintenance), old and rusty pipes or poor workmanship (among other reasons). At LA Affordable Plumbing, we guarantee our workmanship. Some steps that you can take to prevent leak-related problems are checking the visible pipes in your home periodically (such as under your sink), check your water heater for leaks and replace old washers. In addition to performing regular water leak maintenance, it is important to periodically have a professional check your home for leaks so you don’t have to deal with water-related damage and higher than normal water bills down the line.
