Got a leaky pipe that just won’t stop dripping? Some leaks are easy to find, while others lurk behind walls where you can’t see them. Thankfully, our leak detection systems can uncover significant leaks and protect your property from major damage.
Why It’s Smart To Address Leaks ASAP
Small leaks may not seem like a big deal, but given enough time, they can do serious damage. Here’s why it’s important to detect leaks quickly.
- Keep your water bills in check: If your pipes are constantly dripping, guess who’s paying for all that wasted water? That’s right; you! If not promptly addressed, a leaking pipe could cause your water bill to leap by hundreds per month.
- Salvage your walls and ceilings: Over time, leaks can penetrate your ceilings and walls, causing them to warp and eventually rot. Hidden leaks can also do serious damage to your home’s structural integrity.
- Keep mold at bay: Mold isn’t just gross to look at; it also presents serious health risks for your family. Breathing in mold spores can make you feel as though you’re always coming down with a cold. Mold can also trigger asthma and allergy attacks.
- Avoid sewage smells: Water treatment plants are responsible for keeping your water clean and fresh-smelling, but what happens if you have a sewer pipe leak? The smell can be terrible enough to sicken you and your family.

Our Expert Plumbers Find Leaks Wherever They Hide
If you suspect that you have a leak, shut off the water supply and call a licensed plumber from Roto-Rooter in Columbia, TN. We’ll use a special electronic leak detection system to find the source of water leaks, such as frozen pipes or burst pipes.
We can also install smart leak detectors to cover the entire length of your home. These sensors alert you when they detect water and automatically shut off the water line to prevent damage when a leak occurs. If you live in an area that’s prone to freezing pipes, it’s smart to install a water leak detection system that automatically shuts off the water flow when it finds a potential leak.
Some leak detectors are easy enough for homeowners to set up, while others require professional installation. Additionally, some are battery-powered and others need a sensing cable connected to a power outlet. Call us and we’ll help you pick a detector based on battery life and your typical water usage. We’ll also teach you how to deal with false alarms.
