Leaking pipe diagnostics and repair in San Diego
Weak valves, worn pipes, and dripping taps are major sources of water loss in a home. One small leak can waste 90 gallons of water per day. Ignoring the problem can increase your water bills by at least 10% every month. Leaking pipes can also damage the foundation of a home, and this will require additional repair costs.
Almco Plumbing specialists have 10 years of experience in diagnosing and repairing leaking pipes. Ask for our help – and you will receive quick plumbing for your leaky pipes. We will keep your foundation from collapsing and your pipes from damage.
Why do leaks happen?
Leaks in pipes occur:
- ๐น in old pipes;
- ๐น in rotting pipes;
- ๐น due to cracks in frozen pipes in winter;
- ๐น due to damage to the insulation during installation;
- ๐น due to the long-term influence of high-pressure water.
We advise you to have a preventive check-up if you know that your pipes are over 10 years old, or if you have survived a rather harsh winter. To leave a request for the diagnosis of leaking pipes, call (858) 209-7214.
How to spot a leaking pipe?
There are two types of leaks: obvious and hidden. A pipe leak is obvious if you see a puddle directly underneath it. This is a signal that you need to immediately call the nearest plumber.

Leak detection on your own can be difficult, because the pipes are often buried in walls or buried underground. It can be difficult to locate a leak on your own in this area. Slab, toilet, or faucet leaks can be detected on the same signs. Plumbers from Almco Plumbing advise you to pay attention to these signs of leaking pipes:
- ๐น You are consuming more water than usual. The Environmental Protection Agency has calculated that the average American household uses 10,000 to 12,000 gallons of water per year. If you are using more water for no obvious reason, consider checking the condition of the pipes.
- ๐น Your water bills have increased by more than 10%, but you are sure you have not increased your water consumption.
- ๐น You hear the sound of dripping water, but you cannot find the source.
- ๐น Cracks appeared on the walls and ceiling. Moisture or mold may appear around them.
- ๐น You feel that a certain area of the floor is warm to the touch.
- ๐น You smell musty damp or rotten eggs.
If you find any of these signs, call Almco Plumbing. We provide residential and commercial plumbing in San Diego. We will come to your call at any time convenient for you, quickly find the cause of the leak, clearly estimate the cost of services, and fix the problem.
Leaking pipe professional diagnostics
Experienced plumbers provide more accurate diagnostics of pipe leaks. They can accurately detect the location of the leak, the cause, and the extent of the damage. Remember, that it is better to measure twice and cut once. When you apply for plumbing services to Almco, you can rest assured that we will do a good job the first time.
Why is our diagnostics better than self-check? We use special equipment. ALMCO Plumbing uses high-tech equipment to map your pipe’s status in real-time. We receive visual feedback that lets us accurately diagnose the problem’s severity. Part of our kit includes HD cameras that inspect your sewage system. It uses a malleable fiber-optic line that doesn’t require trenching. It’s simply dropped into the nearest access point, and a full inspection can commence from there. This equipment lets us diagnose pipes regardless of location. We can even work through difficult obstructions, such as concrete setups. This lets us quickly define the problem’s scope and how much it’ll cost – which saves you time and needless spending!
