Leaks from your home’s plumbing can lead to mold, mildew, and even structural damage. Ethical Plumbing has spent more than four decades providing leak detection and plumbing repair. We service Greenville County, SC and surrounding areas.
Our team of experienced plumbers will track down leaks in and around your home and provide you with any leaking pipe repairs needed to resolve the issue. We use the latest tools and methods to locate leaks as quickly and accurately as possible.
The biggest problem with leaks in your home is that you might not find them until the damage has already been done. Even if you do notice signs of leaks, you might not realize what is causing them.
There are a few key signs that should always lead to a leak detection and repair visit from our team, including the following:
Because most of your home’s pipes are hidden out of sight, these signs may be your first indication that anything is wrong. Identifying leaks as soon as possible is your best bet to avoid serious damage, so always keep an eye out for any indicators that you might have a leak.
What you should do as soon as you discover a leak will depend largely on where you find the leak and how bad it is. If you’re dealing with a leaky faucet, tap, or other fixture, the chances are that the problem is not an emergency. You should reach out to one of our professional plumbers to fix the issue at a time convenient for you.
If you notice a ceiling leak, on the other hand, you could find yourself dealing with some serious water damage. If there’s substantial water flow, anything more than minor water stains, or an occasional drip, you should shut off your home’s main water supply valve to avoid more damage and contact us right away.
Our team will provide fast and effective repairs to prevent your home from incurring any further damage. A home with serious water damage could need more extensive repairs, but ensuring that the leak has stopped is the first step we will take.
If you notice signs like stains, bulging drywall, peeling paint, or other signs of a ceiling leak, you should give us a call as soon as possible. There could be more damage due to the leak that you aren’t able to see. We will provide all of the plumbing services needed to detect and repair these kinds of leaks.
Your water bill is one of the best ways to watch for plumbing leaks. You should monitor your water bill for any discrepancies that could indicate plumbing issues.
If your water bill comes back much higher than expected, you could be dealing with a leak. However, there are also other possible explanations. You could have a toilet that is constantly running or a problem with your water meter. In either case, our plumbers will find the real cause behind the problem and fix it.
You should also consider seasonal changes or whether you’ve just been using more water than usual. If not, then something must be behind the change, and it could be an unseen leak. A higher bill indicates more water use. This means that water could be trickling through your walls, ceilings, and foundation to cause untold damage.
Early leak detection will save you a lot of money, especially if the leak can be repaired before too much damage is done. Plumbing leaks can go undetected for months or even years, all the while damaging your home.
You shouldn’t take that risk. If your water bill has risen for no apparent reason, reach out to Ethical Plumbing to find out why.
Crawl space leaks are some of the most likely to go years without ever being noticed. They also have the potential to cause irreparable damage to your home. Because you probably don’t visit your crawl space too often, there could be water pooling and visible structural damage without anyone knowing about it.
Leaks in your crawl space can lead to structural wood damage. If you notice sagging floors, cracks in your walls, or jamming doors, it could be because a crawl space leak has warped the structure of your home. Crawl space leaks may also lead to pest infestations, damage to insulation, and other serious issues.
Our team will find the source of crawl space leaks and carry out quick and effective leaking pipe repairs. We will also check for other problems. When dealing with crawl space leaks, there’s a significant chance that mold growth is a factor. That’s why you want to make sure that our professionals handle the issue.
Most pipes are behind your walls, and most leaks will be found there, as well. If the leaking pipe is on an upper floor, you’ll likely first notice the leak due to signs on the ceiling or walls below. This is what causes the distinct water stains you can often find on the ceilings of homes that have had leaking pipes.
