How to Spot a Leak

In some cases, it will be obvious that you have a leak because water will be spraying out of a pipe, dripping from the sink, or seeping through the ceiling. However, not every leak is sudden and unexpected. Many leaks start out as small issues that, if noticed, can be corrected in plenty of time. Some signs that you have a leak in your home are:Water damage on the wall.

  • Dark spots on the walls, floors, or ceilings
  • Mold outbreaks
  • Dripping water from a faucet or other appliance

If you notice signs of water damage or mold starting to appear, you should schedule a service to have your home assessed by a professional plumbing company. You might be tempted to put it off until you can no longer avoid it, or until it gets worse, but we would discourage that. If water is leaking from a fixture in your home, that doesn’t necessarily mean you need a pricey replacement. The problem could be as simple as a loose part or a seal that’s been damaged and needs a quick fix.

It is a good idea, however, to make sure you know where the fixture shutoff valve is located, as well as the main shutoff valve. If something happens where you need to immediately cut off the water supply, you’ll need to turn the fixture shutoff value clockwise to stop the flow of water. If that doesn’t work, or there is no fixture shutoff valve, you should find the main shutoff valve and turn that clockwise until the main water supply pipe is no longer pumping out water.

Contact the professionals at B. Carlson before your leaky faucet turns into something much worse!

Leak Detection in Albuquerque, NM

When a water leak occurs in your home, you need a plumber for a permanent solution. Water leak detection and repair may not be easy until the leak causes visible damage. Suspicion of the water leak may only come when major damage occurs or a high bill. 

 

This is usually because plumbing work in homes is usually complex, inside concrete slabs, walls or fixtures, making the location of a water leak difficult. The most common residential water leak is in a slab break. A slab leak is a leak in a water line running beneath the concrete floor.

Any of these leaks will require a NATE-certified technician such as B. Carlson Plumbing to detect and resolve the water leak. A water leak could happen any time of the day, and a 24-hour quick response is necessary to prevent disastrous situations and save your business or home from damage.

Does Insurance Cover Leak Detection and repair?

It depends. Homeowner’s insurance generally does not cover maintenance issues or wear and tear. So, if a slab leak, for example, results when tree roots damage your plumbing, or from plumbing lines that are simply past their prime, a typical homeowners insurance will not pay for repairs. However, you may be able to add separate service line coverage to your homeowners insurance policy. If you have that coverage, it can help pay to repair damage to a service line from wear and tear. 

If a peril that’s covered by your homeowners insurance policy results in a plumbing leak, your homeowners insurance policy might help pay to tear out and replace piping and slab. They will also cover any water damage to your home. Covered perils typically include risks like fire, wind, explosions, freezes, water heater cracks, vandalism, and falling objects (including weight of snow, ice, rain or sleet).

Leak repairs that generally aren’t covered by homeowner’s insurance include: natural settling, shrinking, bulging, expansion, and cracking of the foundation; wear and tear; earthquakes; flooding; tree root pressure; sinkholes; rodents, insects and vermin; faulty design or construction.

Finally, if the leak causes severe structural damage to your home, it may be covered under your dwelling coverage. However, the insurance coverage wouldn’t cover the actual plumbing repairs. Instead, it would cover the costs to restore your home’s structural integrity so you can continue to live it it safely.

Your insurance provider may cover leak detection with “trace and access” coverage– specifically for detecting and uncovering leaking pipes in your home. Ask your insurance company if this coverage is included. Be aware, however, that you are still responsible for paying a deductible per incident. So, depending on the costs, it may make better sense to avoid filing a claim until you locate the leak and determine its cause.

damage and tell you how long you can expect a resolution to take.
