Leak Detection
At Knight, our leak detection service in Calgary is designed to help you check for a leak if one is suspected. Our methods vary depending on your particular situation, but we may measure the water pressure in your pipe to see how it compares to the average. We also employ advanced technology to inspect inside your pipes or behind walls, and in some cases, we may use digging or drilling techniques to expose damaged pipes if needed.
Leak Prevention
There are many different water leak risks in your average Calgary home. If you want to know if there is anything you can do to prevent possible future leaks, one of our professional plumbing experts can do an evaluation and let you know where your dangers are.
Installing a water level alarm will advise you if your basement is flooding, but making sure your plumbing and utility machines are updated and in good working order will help prevent you from ever needing a flooded basement alarm. From a slow leak under a sink to furnaces leaking water, without leak monitors you may find yourself spending a lot of time checking all the potential culprits for leaks. With Calgary’s cold winters, making sure your pipes are protected from freezing and bursting is also essential.
Warning Signs of a Plumbing Leak
- An unusually high water bill.
- Walls & Floors feel moist to the touch.
- Water stains & discoloration are showing on your ceiling or walls
- Water from the tap is rusty or your sinks are rust-stained
- There is part of your yard that is soggy or you notice erosion near your foundation.
- After confirming no water is being used, your water meter is still running.
Damage from Undetected Leaks
The longer a leak goes undetected, the more expensive it will be to fix. This is true in part for your standard utility bills- water bills as well as utilities for powering your hot water tank if your leak is coming from the hot water line.
What will be the highest cost is the damage water does to your home. Floors or walls commonly made of giprock or wood, will become soggy or moist and need replacing. Leaving moisture behind to sit will lead to mold and mildew accumulation that will spread and cause even more damage. It’s easy to think out of sight, out of mind and that is typically what causes the biggest issue.
Depending on where the leak is, it can also mean erosion for your home’s foundation or rusting and damaging anything that gets in contact with the leak- rusting out furnace pipes or ruining equipment that shouldn’t get wet.
Flo By Moen Leak Detector
The Flo Smart Water Monitor and Shutoff by Moen is the best defence you can get in leak prevention and protection. It doesn’t just tell you when it senses leakes or moisture (such as an overflowing drain, or a burst pipe), it also keeps and eye on your whole water system to control and conserve your home’s water. It is a smart water valve that gets added to the main water supply and will send notifications to your phone if there is an issue such as high water pressure that could indicate a clog or frozen pipe- allowing you to fix the issue before it gets worse.
Combining the Smater Water detector with the Monitor & Shutoff, you get full home protection. You can monitor your usage and set conservation goals in the app, as well as perform daily leak tests to catch any (even the smalles pinhole) leaks that may have begun.
This also connects to Alexa or Google Assistant for hands-off monitoring!
