Newark’s Trusted Water Leak Detection & Repair Company

Unsuspected leaks can be insidious, causing extensive damage to property that isn’t immediately obvious. Silent and progressive, these leaks can compromise structural integrity and lead to costly repairs. That’s why it is paramount to detect elusive leaks early and address them with precision—a task that Puroclean Newark excels at. Using industry-leading technology, our team of IICRC-certified professionals not only locates leaks rapidly but also uncovers their origins, formulating a targeted plan to resolve the issue effectively the first time around.

How To Detect A Water Leak

Detecting a water leak with precision and swiftness is central to preventing property damage and restoring safety. At Puroclean Newark, we deploy an arsenal of sophisticated methods to unearth even the most concealed leaks:

  • Thermal Imaging: Our skilled technicians employ infrared thermal imaging cameras to detect temperature disparities that often accompany water leaks. These state-of-the-art cameras enable a thorough scan of walls, ceilings, and floors, exposing any anomalous patterns that could signal a hidden leak. 
  • Moisture Meters: As the most prevalent leak detection tool, moisture meters measure the moisture content in building materials like drywall, wood, or flooring. When we identify elevated moisture levels, it’s a strong indication that a water leak is lurking within. 
  • Pressure Testing: Precise and methodical pressure testing isolates sections of your plumbing system to find leaks. We pressurize the pipes with air or water, monitoring for any pressure drops that suggest a leak is present. 
  • Acoustic Leak Detection: Utilizing advanced acoustic technology, this technique employs ground microphones or listening devices to detect the sound of water escaping pipes. Our technicians use amplification via headphones to pinpoint the exact location of a leak, ensuring detailed and accurate repair.

Should you suspect a leak within your property, reach out to Puroclean Newark immediately—our experts are equipped and ready to provide superior leak detection services. Contact us now to safeguard your property against the havoc of water damage.

What Are The Warning Signs Of a Leak

Be vigilant for indicators of water leaks within your property:

  • Water Staining: Persistent water marks under fixtures or on walls can be telling signs.
  • Unusual Water Usage: An unexpected spike in water bills or meter readings could point to a concealed leak.
  • Acoustic Noises: Sounds of running water when all is turned off should raise concern.
  • Damp & Musty Odors: Persistent mustiness may signal hidden moisture.
  • Mold Growth: The emergence of mold in unexpected places often stems from leaks.

If these symptoms are familiar, it is time to contact a dedicated leak detection company such as Puroclean Newark to prevent escalation.
