I don’t think any of us will ever forget how rainy it was here in Sacramento last winter. We’d had about five long years of severe drought and then all of a sudden it began to rain—and rain and rain and rain, rain, rain. When it was all over, our region was soaked, having just experienced one of the wettest winters on record in Sacramento.

On account of all this rain, the Bell Brothers expert plumbing team was called out to dozens and dozens of homes that had overworked and overwhelmed plumbing systems. There were old houses in Sacramento where folks had to replace galvanized pipes because they got overworked, drain clearing that needed to be done because of debris knocked loose in the deluge, and trenchless sewer repair galore. Our professional plumbers were kept busy for weeks with plumbing leak detection and repair jobs in Sacramento.

That’s why today I want to give Sacramento homeowners advice about how to be proactive when you suspect a plumbing leak or a needed repair. So far this year, we haven’t had all that much rain, at least not compared to what we had last year, but I want to make sure that the next time it starts to pour, homeowners in Northern California aren’t caught off guard with leaky pipes.

Tips for Plumbing Leak Detection and Repair in Sacramento Homes

First and foremost, it’s important for homeowners to realize that not all plumbing leaks are created equal. A plumbing leak detection technique for one type of pipe problem might not be effective for another. Leaks really do run the gamut, from a slight drip to a major breach that floods your yard to a dreaded leak within your walls that causes mold and structural damage to your Sacramento home.

Here are some common areas in your home where you should be on the lookout to detect plumbing leaks and needed repairs:

• Beneath the slab of your home: Most homes in Sacramento have plumbing lines underneath the concrete slab that they sit on. These plumbing lines are responsible for bringing water into the home for faucets and sewage from toilets and other drains away from the home. It is possible for these lines to spring a leak. A major sign to help you detect a leak in the plumbing beneath your home is a sewage backup. This happens when the outgoing pipe can’t do its job, often because a leak has become so significant that it hinders its flow and the sewage you try to flush away backs up into your drains. As soon as you notice any sign of a sewage backup, you’ll want to call in the trained plumbing experts from Bell Brothers to investigate.
• Inside your walls and floors: There are pipes within your Sacramento home’s walls. Like any other pipes, age or wear and tear can cause them to start leaking. This is often evident when mold starts to grow in a place that is usually warm and dry. At the first sign of mold on your walls or on your floors, you’ll want to immediately get the plumbing experts from Bell Brothers to come check for the source of the problem. Mold is a real safety hazard for your home and your family, but the professionals at Bell Brothers can root out the source of the trouble.

Other areas where Sacramento homeowners commonly detect leaks in their plumbing systems include radiant floor heating, hydronic lines for cooling, or basements and crawl spaces. There are so many different places a leak can strike, that it can obviously be hard for you to detect them all yourself without the right plumbing tools. That’s why Bell Brothers’ trained plumbing experts are available 24 hours a day for you to contact to set up an appointment. We also have all the equipment necessary to quickly find and repair even the most daunting of plumbing leaks or problems.
