One of the services offered by our plumbing company in Chapel Hill is leak detection. There are several types of leaks our plumbers can find and fix, but all of them need prompt repair to prevent extensive damage to your home. These include water line leaks, sewer or drain leaks, or leaking gas pipes. If the leak is a slab leak or a gas leak, it must be repaired by a professional as they are too difficult or dangerous for a homeowner to fix.

Water leaks tend to have a hard-to-find source because the water may travel along a pipe from the leak before it drips out. Our plumbers are trained to spot the identifying factors for locating the exact spot the leak began, whether it originated in a pipe, fixture, or under the slab of a foundation.

Sewer drain line leaks may allow smelly sewer gases into the house or prevent waste from properly flowing into the sewer. This type of problem must be fixed immediately as it can create a health hazard for the home, especially if the leak in the sewer line allows waste into the yard.

Leaks in the gas pipes require immediate action because the leaking gas poses a high fire or explosion hazard. If you smell gas or suspect a leak, leave the house and call Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Charlotte for our emergency service to fix the leak quickly.

To find and fix the source of a leak, or for any other plumbing maintenance or repair, call our professional, punctual plumbers at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Charlotte at 704-461-1700.
