Our Experienced Vancouver Leak Repair Services

The plumbing system is the unsung hero in most households, as people use it day in and day out for a wide variety of purposes but rarely give it a second thought—until there's an obvious problem like a slab leak from a broken or deteriorated sewer line. That's a frustrating and stressful situation to find yourself in, especially if you're not sure where to get the Vancouver leak repair help you need fast.

The reliable, licensed plumbers at Mr. Rooter Plumbing have the skill and experience to track down the leak and get it fixed up quickly with a durable solution. You can rest assured that we never apply a sloppy "band-aid fix" that will look great for a short time and then break down in a few weeks or months, leaving you with hidden leaks and another mess to clean up. When you call our qualified plumbers for pipe leak repair service, you can count on us to show up on time for your scheduled appointment—or as soon as we possibly can in an emergency situation—and take care of Vancouver leak repair services, so you can have the peace of mind that comes with knowing your home is safe from water damage. We also offer comprehensive slab leak detection services for cases where there's a suspected leak lurking in a hard-to-reach location, including buried underneath a concrete slab.

Our Comprehensive Leak Detection Service

Our repair service wouldn't go far without a proper diagnosis of where the water is coming from, and we do that by using a mixture of methods and tools. The first thing we will do is pressure testing. After running a flow reading and pressure test and finding that the water pressure is indeed low in your home, we will proceed with infrared detection to pinpoint where the leak is.

Your water supply lines run from a municipal water main through your backyard, into your home or building, and out of your plumbing fixtures. The leak could be located at any point throughout this line, and it is possible that you have more than one point that is leaking. It is prudent that all points of damage in your line are found. We will run leak diagnostics across all locations of your water line and record the damage.

For the next step, we will implement a video camera inspection. This tool on its own won't detect small leaks, but it will allow us to see what is causing the leak. In some cases, tree roots are to blame for leaking pipes, and there are many different levels of severity for cracks. Using a video camera will help us find out what the damage looks like and perhaps even what caused it.

Leaking Fixtures and Couplings

Fortunately for everyone, the most common types of leaks are relatively minor leaks that occur in plumbing fixtures such as sinks, toilets and showers or at a coupling or fitting where two sections of pipe are joined together. While these types of leaks are considered minor, they can still cause a huge amount of water damage or even eventual structural damage and need to be taken care of right away by a skilled Vancouver leak repair professional. Even leaks that are completely contained inside fixtures, like a dripping faucet or a constantly running toilet, can't be ignored, as they are inflating your utility bill with the cost of water, you're not getting any benefit from. For this kind of leak repair, Vancouver plumbers may tighten couplings or replace deteriorated fittings. Or they take care of fixture-related tasks, such as faucet repairs or replacing the wax seal on a toilet that is leaking at the base.

Traditional Pipe Repair

A traditional pipe repair was the primary method of repair until trenchless methods were invented in the early 2000s. We use this method only if the pipe we are repairing has extensive damage and neither lining nor bursting is possible. Excavation is required within this method in order to have full access to the broken pipe, remove it, and insert a new one. Traditional water leak repair will also require excavation if your water line is severely corroded from age or neglected preventative maintenance. We may have to bust through your home's concrete foundation pad to provide an effective solution to the right water supply line.

Whichever type of leak repair method is necessary for your home, we have decades of experience, so we provide solutions that last. If you are a homeowner concerned about moisture damage in your home, it is usually the first sign of a leak.

Trenchless Leak Repair

In some cases, the leak isn't in a visible, easy-to-access part of the plumbing system. Buried pipes can deteriorate slowly over time or suffer sudden damage that causes them to spring a leak, and that type of Vancouver leak repair is a lot more complex. We'll start by using video inspection and infrared cameras to find the exact location that is causing trouble. Often, the best way to deal with a leak in a buried line is a trenchless technique called pipe relining. This non-invasive method essentially involves inserting an epoxy "sleeve" into the damaged pipe, where it cures and hardens to form a new pipe inside the old one. There are some big advantages to this method: it's effective and long-lasting, resistant to tree root intrusion and doesn't require a destructive trench to be dug in your yard.

If you're aware of the less-blatant signs that trouble is afoot, you can call Mr. Rooter Plumbing for Vancouver leak repair before the damage is too severe.

Some of the typical warning signs that you are in need of Vancouver leak repair services are:

• Water meter is still running while all plumbing fixtures are shut off
• Sudden spikes in the water charges on utility bill

How Can I Avoid Leaks in the Future?

Right after dealing with a service for leak repair in Vancouver, you might be interested in ways to make sure you don't ever have to go through the stress of discovering a plumbing leak again, and that makes a lot of sense. The best way to prevent an unexpected leak is to schedule your plumber for regular inspections and system maintenance. That can include preventative steps like drain cleaning, but it's also just a matter of having your plumber check for problems so they can stop any looming issues before they become a big headache for your household. When it comes to leaks in wastewater lines, it's also really important to be conscientious about what you let go down the drain—avoid fat, oil and grease above all else as it solidifies inside the lines and can cause pinhole leaks and burst pipes if it gets bad enough.
