Leaky Pipes – Schuelke Plumbing Is The Place To Call

Leaky pipes in your home must be addressed immediately. You may even be unaware of the severe damage a leak can cause to a home. But the technicians at Schuelke Plumbing actually perform a free inspection when they come to your home for any other plumbing-related repair. What types of leaks do they look for? There are slab leaks, underground leaks in your yard, water leaks, and gas leaks. Schuelke plumbing has incredible cutting-edge technology that helps plumbers detect and pinpoint exactly where the leaky pipe is.

What are the signs that indicate that your home may have a leak? If you experience any of the following, you need to call Schuelke plumbers right away:

• Water bills that seem unusually high.
• Water meter readings changing when not using water.
• Sewer backup problems that become chronic.
• Running toilets and dripping faucets.
• Running water sounds when nothing is in use.
• Spongy, soft, or discolored walls.
• Musty odors from floors, walls near drains, or sewers.
• Cracked, or unusually damp foundation or slab.
• Warm areas on concrete floors, mildew, or excessive moisture under carpets.
• Wet or moist areas in the yard with unusually healthy plant or grass growth.

If your home has a slab leak, the water company will slap you with an outrageously high bill month after month. If the problem remains unfixed, you will experience dampness or wetness on the floor, and water coming through the foundation or the settling of the foundation. Slab leaks occur in two places, either the incoming water line or the sanitary sewer line, both of which are embedded in the foundation of your home.

A yard leak also has terrible consequences. In addition to a high water bill, you will find your font yard completely flooded. Traditionally, plumbers would have to dig up your entire front yard in order to fix the problem. However, Schuelke Plumbing uses a method called trenchless sewer repair. This ensures that your yard and driveway will stay intact during the process of installing the new sewer lines and sewer system. Schuelke’s plumbers and technicians have been doing this type of work for many years, with hundreds of satisfied clients as a result.

Schuelke plumbing also has the technology necessary to detect gas leaks. Gas leaks are the most dangerous because if left undetected, the carbon monoxide poisoning can lead to death. Appliances like your hot water heater may have a gas leak that can be easily fixed by a licensed professional at Schuelke plumbing.

Many people forget that insurance covers all types of leaks in their homes. Since Schuelke plumbing is always looking out for their customers, they come in and handle the insurance claim for the homeowner! There aren’t many other plumbers in the Los Angeles County that are willing to take the time and energy to do that! In addition to handling the insurance claim, a licensed plumber will write up an invoice for the DWP so that the homeowner can get refunded for the high water bill caused by a leak.
