Leak Detection:

  • Visual Inspection: Professional plumbers visually inspect the commercial property's plumbing system, looking for visible signs of leaks such as water stains, mold growth, or wet spots.
  • Pressure Testing: Plumbers may conduct pressure tests to identify hidden leaks. This involves pressurizing the plumbing system and monitoring pressure changes to pinpoint areas with potential leaks.
  • Infrared Technology: Advanced leak detection methods may include the use of infrared cameras to identify temperature variations that can indicate water leaks behind walls or in concealed areas.
  • Acoustic Listening Devices: These devices help plumbers listen for the sound of water escaping from pipes, aiding in locating hidden leaks.


Leak Repair:

  • Pipe Repair or Replacement: Once a leak is identified, commercial plumbers assess the extent of the damage. Depending on the severity, they may repair the damaged section of the pipe or replace the entire pipe.
  • Fixture Repairs: Leaks in fixtures such as faucets, toilets, or sinks are repaired by fixing or replacing faulty components like seals, valves, or pipes.
  • Sealant and Patching: For minor leaks, plumbers may use sealants or patches to temporarily address the issue while planning for a more permanent solution.
  • Re-piping: In cases where the plumbing system is aging or experiencing widespread leaks, a comprehensive re-piping of the commercial property may be recommended.
