Most people are unaware of the severe damage a leak can
cause to a home. But the technicians at Schuelke Plumbing actually perform a free
leak inspection when they come to your home for any other plumbing-related
repair. What types of leaks do they look for? There are slab leaks, underground
leaks in your yard, water leaks, and gas leaks. Schuelke plumbing has
incredible cutting-edge technology that helps plumbers detect and pinpoint
exactly where the leaky pipe is.
What are the signs that indicate that your home may have a
leak? If you experience any of the following, you need to call Schuelke
plumbers right away:
·
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.
·
Wet or moist areas in the yard with unusually healthy plant or grass
growth.
If your home has a slab leak, the water company will slap
you with an outrageously high bill month after month. If the problem remains unfixed,
you will experience
dampness or wetness on the floor, and water
coming through the foundation or the settling of the foundation.
Slab leaks occur in two places, either the incoming water line or
the sanitary sewer line, both of which are embedded in the foundation of your
home.
A yard leak also has terrible
consequences. In addition to a high water bill, you will find your font yard
completely flooded. Traditionally, plumbers would have to dig up your entire
front yard in order to fix the problem. However, Schuelke Plumbing uses
a method called
trenchless sewer repair. This ensures that
your yard and driveway will stay intact during the process of installing the
new sewer lines and sewer system. Schuelke’s plumbers and technicians have been
doing this type of work for many years, with hundreds of satisfied clients as a
result.
Schuelke plumbing also has the
technology necessary to detect gas leaks. Gas leaks are the most dangerous
because if left undetected, the carbon monoxide poisoning can lead to death.
Appliances like your hot water heater may have a gas leak that can be easily
fixed by a licensed professional at Schuelke plumbing.
Many people forget that insurance covers all types of leaks
in their homes. Since Schuelke plumbing is always looking out for their
customers, they come in and handle the insurance claim for the homeowner! There
aren’t many other plumbers in the Los Angeles
County that are willing to take the
time and energy to do that! In addition to handling the insurance claim, a
licensed plumber will write up an invoice for the DWP so that the homeowner can
get refunded for the high water bill caused by a leak.
There is a certain level of care and consideration that goes
into the work of Schuelke Plumbers do. Why would you trust anyone else?
