Water Leak Repair

Water Leak Repair | Water Leak Detection

How a Drip Becomes a Steady Leak, and Worse.

Property damage brought about by leaking pipes is a lot more common than you might realize. According to This Old House, one in every 60 insured homes filed a property damage claim due to water damage or freezing each year. The average claim was $11,650.

There are lots of reasons for water leaks, with these among the most common:

  • Broken seals
  • Clogged lines
  • Internal corrosion
  • Damaged pipe joints
  • High water pressure
  • Intruding tree roots
  • Fixture cracks
  • Old fixtures and pipes

What do these various pipe leak causes have in common? This: once you determine (or even suspect) you have a leak, act quickly to prevent or minimize the damage.

Pipe Repair | Pipe Replacement

No matter how minor a leaking pipe or fixture might seem, don’t leave it for “tomorrow,” because by then, things can only get worse – even with the leaks you can readily spot. Instead, contact Messmer Mechanical for our expert repair and replacement services for both fixtures and pipes.

If there’s evidence of a leak but it can’t be spotted with the naked eye, your Messmer plumber will employ one of our electronic pipe leak detectors to confirm you have a leak and determine where it’s located and how extensive it might be. That step alone can spare you hundreds if not thousands of dollars of added expense to open and later repair or replace a wall, ceiling, or floor.

Water Leak Detector | Pipe Leak Detector

When it comes to home water leaks, the best offense is a great defense…to borrow a well-known phrase. Meaning, why wait for damage to occur when it can be readily prevented with a water leak detector expertly installed by one of our professional plumbers.

At Messmer Mechanical, we recommend, install, and maintain WaterCop electronic water leak shutoff valves. When a WaterCop sensor detects even a small leak, it instantly sends a signal to the shut-off valve to shut down the water main. No water, no leak. It’s that simple.

We can even install a while-house “line of sight” system so that even those water leaks some distance from your main valve can still shut it off by communicating with intermittent sensors strategically installed throughout your home.

Protect your home and your savings from unwanted water damage claim. Instead, contact Messmer Mechanical today for:

  • Plumbing fixture repair or replacement
  • Pipe repair or replacement
  • Installation of an electronic WaterCop water leak detector
