How We Detect Leaks?
In the past, detecting leaks was educated guesswork. Today, that doesn’t have to be the case. Our plumbers have a wide range of equipment they can use to tell you if you have a leak and then find it, wherever it might be in your plumbing system. Leaks leave telltale signs that reverberate throughout your plumbing system, and we use modern listening and pressure testing equipment to figure out what your leak problem is, and then where it is as well.
Some of the Methods We Use to Detect Leaks Include:
- Pressure test: After draining all of the water from your pipes, we fill them with air under pressure. Then we keep a close eye on a pressure gauge. If the gauge indicates a slow loss of pressure, it’s usually due to a leak.
- Listening test: After filling pipes with pressure, escaping air makes a rushing sound. We use a sophisticated, extremely sensitive microphone to listen for the sound of escaping air, allowing us to find leaks in walls and even in your foundation.
- Meter test: After shutting off all water in your home, your water meter shouldn’t be spinning. If it is, then we know you have a leak somewhere in one of your main water lines.
How Do Plumbing Leaks Form?
Plumbing leaks can form for a number of different reasons. Much like drain clogs, leaks are one of those issues that are simply unavoidable—no matter how well you care for your plumbing system, a leak will happen eventually. However, unlike clogs where the cause is fairly straightforward, if unavoidable, leaks can happen for a wide variety of reasons. Some of these reasons are preventable, while others simply can’t be avoided. Still other causes of leaks are as a result of something that a homeowner simply can’t avoid, no matter how much they might try to counteract it.
Leaks Can Happen in Water Lines and Faucets for a Variety of Reasons, Including:
- Your water pressure is too high
- Your pipes are aging
- Your pipes have suffered significant corrosion
- Your water is poor-quality, leading to pH that’s too high or too low
- Your main water lines are too small, resulting in excessive strain
- You have hard water, leading to scale buildup in water lines
Leaks in exposed areas are generally easy to spot and fix, however not all leaks are in these easy and convenient areas. It’s not unheard of for leaks to form in hidden places, including in pipelines that run through your walls and even in the concrete slab beneath your feet that your home is built on. A slab leak is a devastating problem that requires substantial skill and knowledge to be able to address properly, as it could require considerable upheaval of your home. No matter where your leak might be, you can count on Bailey Plumbing Heating Cooling to find it and provide you with a quality repair solution.

"Amazing service!"
Tech Andrew Stinemire was dispatched to my property for a sewer line back up. The issue was accessed from the outside. Andrew called before he started to explain everything thoroughly. After job was finished he followed up with another phone call. Andrews comportment was nothing short of stellar. I have used many plumbers and unfortunately they rush you off the phone. A lot of plumbers act as if they are doing you a favor. Not Andrew! He talked to me like an old friend and made sure I understood everything. We need more plumbers like him. He understands very well that ultimately this is a service business and the customer needs to be treated with deference and respect- T. Hearn -
"Thanks Michael!"
Sewer backed up. Panic among the troops. Michael from Bailey came right out, updating us on his ETA via text. One LOOOOOONG snake later, our system was unclogged. I enjoyed talking with Michael as well, gave me a few tips to try to eliminate (no pun!) this issue in future. Thanks Michael!!- Clement M. -
"Professional Service"
I had Hunter Murray and his 2 helpers come out to my home today to fix a main water line. From the second they arrive they were professional and did a wonderful job. They fix the problem and cleaned up the mess and left my property looking like it was cleaned by the landscapers. I would highly recommend Bailey to anyone who needs a plumber. Also the office staff was great and professional. You can see the everyone enjoys where they work.- Steve P. -

"Difficult Job done well!"
I had an outside leak from the water pipe entering our basement. The crew they sent had to dig to deep to find the elusive location. They were able to locate it and fix it witout damaging the adjacent brick walkway or the sourrounding areas. Amazing work!- Gary M. -
"Excellent, quick service"
Today we needed help with what we thought was a blocked sewer. We were referred to Bailey through American Water. Andrew was our technician. He arrived quickly and was very knowledgeable about our problem. He identified the issue, did the work and resolved the problem. We are very pleased with every aspect of our service call today and highly recommend this company.- Deborah O. -
