Knowing if you have damaged pipes can sometimes be a challenge. You don’t always get visible leaks in your house, and the first sign that you might have a leak is if your water bill is higher than usual. However, this can also be caused by a variety of other issues, so it’s important to reach out to an experienced plumber in Colorado Springs, CO, to determine the exact cause of the issue. Here are some ways we check if you have a damaged pipe:
Check the Water Pressure
When you call our plumbing company in Colorado Springs, CO, the first thing we will check is your water pressure. If you have low or sporadic water pressure, this is a symptom that might indicate a leak. If the water pressure seems off, then our plumbing inspector will ask you if the pressure always acts that way or if it is a new thing. If it is a new thing, then this fact combined with a higher water bill is a good indication that you probably have a leak.
Observe the Water
The next thing we will look at is the color and smell of your water. For example, if the water is reddish-brown, this might indicate rust from bad pipes. Also, a bad smell can tell that other contaminants are getting into the water, indicating a leak. If you notice a change in the color or smell, you should schedule expert plumbing services right away.
Inspect the Pipes
We will also provide you with a full sewer inspection. Sometimes there will be a clinging or dripping noises that are noticeable even to you, and while you might chalk them up as a new sound your house is making, this is often not the case. Even if there are no visible signs of a leak yet, having your pipes inspected can help prevent emergency plumbing situations later on.
Check for Water Marks
Watermarks start small, and you may not notice them, but an experienced plumber might. We will look around your property and see if they see any watermarks. This way, they can narrow down where the damaged pipe might be and provide the necessary plumbing repairs.
