HOW A PLUMBER CAN FIX BROKEN AND LEAKING PIPES
When a plumber is called to address broken or leaking pipes, they typically follow these steps below!
1. ASSESSMENT AND DIAGNOSIS
- INSPECTION – The plumber will visually inspect the plumbing system, looking for signs of leaks, damage, or corrosion.
- LEAK DETECTION TOOLS – Using tools like moisture meters, infrared cameras, or acoustic devices to locate hidden leaks.
2. SHUTTING OFF WATER SUPPLY
- Turning off the main water supply to prevent further water damage during repairs.
3. REPAIRING OR REPLACING PIPES
- PIPE REPAIR – For small leaks, the plumber may use pipe repair clamps, epoxy, or sealants.
- PIPE REPLACEMENT – In cases of severe damage or corrosion, sections of the pipe may need to be replaced entirely. This can involve cutting out damaged sections and fitting new pipes.
4. REINFORCING CONNECTIONS
- Tightening or replacing fittings and joints to prevent future leaks, especially in older plumbing systems.
5. TESTING THE REPAIR
- Once repairs are made, the plumber will turn the water supply back on and test for leaks to ensure the problem is resolved.
6. PREVENTIVE MEASURES
- Discussing options for preventive maintenance, such as insulation for pipes to prevent freezing, regular inspections, or upgrading older plumbing systems.
7. WATER DAMAGE REMEDIATION
- Finally, if water damage has occurred in your home or place of business, the plumber may recommend or coordinate with restoration services to address mold or structural issues to prevent further damage.
