Water leaks can be silent saboteurs, causing extensive damage to your home and skyrocketing water bills. At Roto-Rooter, we've been Chattanooga's trusted plumbing experts for over 75 years, and we're here to help you become a master leak seeker.

Signs of Hidden Leaks

Before we dive into detection methods, let's explore common indicators of concealed leaks:

• Unexplained increase in water bills

• Damp spots on walls, ceilings, or floors

• Mold or mildew growth

• Reduced water pressure

• Sound of running water when taps are off

Advanced Leak Detection Techniques

At Roto-Rooter, we employ cutting-edge technology to pinpoint leaks with precision:

1. Video Camera Inspections: Our state-of-the-art cameras can navigate through pipes, revealing hidden leaks and damage.

2. Acoustic Leak Detection: Sensitive equipment detects the sound of water escaping from pipes, even behind walls.

3. Thermal Imaging: Infrared cameras identify temperature differences caused by water leaks.

4. Pressure Testing: We can isolate sections of plumbing to locate leaks through pressure changes.

DIY Leak Detection Tips

While professional help is often necessary, here are some steps you can take:

1. Check your water meter

2. Inspect visible pipes and fixtures

3. Look for signs of water damage

4. Listen for running water when all taps are off
