Underground Leak Detection

Sometimes pipes spring leaks from age and the usual wear and tear they endure. Other times, pipes were installed poorly or incorrectly when they were constructed. The heavy machinery used during other construction could have jarred the pipes. Plants growing around pipes can cause damage. There are a number of factors that you can’t control.

Fortunately, you don’t have to wait until pools of water are in your basement to find out you have a leak. Call a pro from Altstadt Hoffman Plumbing if you suspect piping, sink, toilet or tub and shower leak problems. With our state of the art equipment and leak detection methods, we draw on our years of experience to find and fix those leaks. Altstadt Hoffman Plumbing has the latest equipment for finding leaks.

Signs that you may have a pipe leak:

• Water bills that seem unusually high.
• Water meter readings changing when not using water.
• Sewer backup problems that become chronic.
• Running toilets and dripping faucets.
• Running water sounds when nothing is in use.
• Spongy, soft, or discolored walls.
• Musty odors from floors, walls near drains, or sewers.
• Cracked, or unusually damp foundation or slab.
• Warm areas on concrete floors, mildew, or excessive moisture under carpets.
• In the yard, particularly wet or moist areas that are unusually wet or moist, often with very healthy (or unusual) plant or grass growth.
