Richmond Water Leak Detection

At Woodfin – Your Home Team, we understand that water leaks can go undetected for months or years. And by the time people notice, the damage is significant. However, some signs signal you might have an unseen water leak.

  • Unexpected Increase in Water Bill
    A sudden, unexplained rise in your water bill often indicates a hidden leak.
  • Musty Odors
    Persistent musty smells, especially in areas like basements, bathrooms, or under sinks, mean excess moisture, which could stem from an unseen water leak.
  • Wall or Ceiling Stains
    Discoloration on walls or ceilings, appearing as wet spots or peeling paint, can indicate water is leaking and absorbing into the material.
  • Sounds of Running Water
    Hearing the sound of water running or dripping when all taps are off can be a sign of a leak within the walls or under the floors.
  • Foundation Cracks
    Minor foundation cracks are common in older homes; however, if you have excessive damage, it could be due to a water leak.

Top Reasons You May Need Burst Pipe Repair

Besides fire, water damage is one of the biggest fears homeowners have. Most water damage comes from flooding or burst pipes. Knowing why pipes burst can help you prevent them, and here are the main causes.

  • Freezing Temperatures: When water freezes, it expands, putting pressure on pipe walls, which can lead to failure. Frozen pipes are common in places like basements and unheated garages.
  • Corrosion: Pipes, particularly older ones made of metal, can corrode over time. This weakens the pipes and can lead to bursts. To prevent corrosion, schedule regular inspections by a certified plumber and consider replacing old pipes with new ones made from copper or PVC.
  • High Water Pressure: Excessive water pressure can stress pipes, leading to bursts. To avoid this, you can install a pressure regulator and regularly check your home’s water pressure to ensure it’s within a safe range (typically between 40-60 psi).
  • Frozen Outside Hose Bib: Outside hose bibs or spigots commonly freeze in winter. You can prevent this by disconnecting hoses, draining the bib, and shutting off interior valves.

Call the pros at Woodfin - Your Home Team in Richmond, VA, if you have a significant water pipe leak for fast, accurate repairs.
