Recently, we were called to a home in Fountain Hills, AZ, to investigate a leak. Our team found a 2” cast iron drain in the wall that was not visible at the time of intrusion. However, upon further inspection, the cast iron that was visible was in poor condition. It is probable that the leak may be at a failed fitting, and more information will be available once access is made.

Based on our assessment, we recommend replacing the entire section from the floor to the upstairs vent with a new dirty arm and p-trap at the lav. This will ensure that the problem is properly addressed and prevent future leaks. We also recommend replacing the parts hold on grohe cartridge.

We provide a detailed estimate for the repair, which includes the cost of replacing the 2” cast iron drain with 2” ABS on that line coming from the lav, which is $1465.00. We also provide an estimate to replace no hub fitting, so our client can have the entire picture and make a decision.

How Plumbers Do Water Leak Detection for a Home?

Plumbing leaks are supremely disruptive and can cause a great deal of harm to your home. Even the most minuscule pinhole leak can lead to irrevocable damage, including ruined drywall and escalating water bills.

Licensed plumbers employ valuable techniques to accurately detect and promptly repair any leaks, saving you major money and time. Using innovative methods and leak detection equipment they can quickly pinpoint precisely where the source of the leak is located so that repairs are fast and efficient.

LISTENING DEVICES

Plumbers rely on specialized tools, such as ground microphones and listening discs, to accurately locate water leakage. Thanks to sound technology that is able to detect the faintest of noises produced by running or dripping water even through thick layers of concrete.

HEAT SCANNERS

Acoustic listening methods may not always be feasible in noisy or deep environments, but plumbers have another reliable resource: scanners that detect any temperature changes. Water escaping from leaks will cause these shifts to appear on the scans and indicate a potential problem.

VIDEO PIPE INSPECTION EQUIPMENT

Plumbers use a miniaturized camera on long fiber optic cables for the most accurate leak detection. This method allows the plumber to see precisely what is happening inside of a pipe, pinpointing leaks and providing additional info that makes it easier to fix them. By using this device, plumbing technicians can quickly identify any issues before they become costly repairs.

TRAINING

Professional training is another vital tool that plumbers have to detect leaks. Qualified plumbers are knowledgeable in plumbing systems, able to swiftly limit the search area without any expensive tools. Therefore, it's highly recommended that you contact an experienced leak detection company who specializes in leak detection services if your pipes become damaged or dysfunctional.
