A plumbing issue and ultimate flooding and water damage can prove to be completely stressful to commercial property owners and homeowners alike. Nobody expects to come home from work, or get to their place of business only to find water all over the floor. That would certainly be bad however; it would be one hundred times worse if there was a leak in the plumbing that was undetected for a long period of time. A long-term leak that was unseen could cost tens of thousands of dollars in damage. Believe it or not; leaks go undetected for long periods of time, so long as there are no puddles on the floor. In all reality, people don’t walk around and inspect their walls and ceiling on a daily basis. It’s taken for granted that all of the plumping work is fine. It’s just something that the average person never thinks about, until there is a problem. RK Restoration Services provides a host of services, including home and business leak detection services.
Underground Water Leak Detection Services in Broward County
When anyone thinks about a plumbing leak in the house, they automatically think that a pipe has burst inside of the wall, or there was a separation of the pipes underneath of the sink. These are the only leaks that most homeowners or commercial property owners think about in such as situation. Unfortunately, many water leaks occur beneath the ground, and can go unnoticed for very long periods of time. This can make the problem worse, but since you don’t know there’s an issue until you see signs, you can only deal with it then.

While most people and businesses in Broward County get their water and sewer services from city and county providers, there are still some who have private well water systems and septic systems. Wells and septic systems eliminate the cost of monthly water and sewer bills, but the property owner must maintain them, and repair them when necessary. Finding such a leak is a difficult task for the average person or company. The entire yard might have to be dug up just to locate the problem. It makes no sense in this day and age of technology. RK Restoration Services offers top of the line thermal imaging technology to locate underground leaks.
One of the worst things a homeowner can find when the open the door to their houses after a long day at work is a flooded home. Water all over the floors in a home is a very dangerous situation, because it is impossible to immediately figure out where the problem began. It would be wise to shut off all power to the home before walking onto the premises. This can help to keep you and your family safe from shock. Let’s face it! Water and electricity do not mix well, and safety should be your main priority. Once the electric is shut off, you should also find the shut off for the water to your home. This will help to prevent further damage. You will definitely need to start soaking up the water as best as you can, but you should also contact a licensed and insured water damage restoration company. Of course, you will also need to contact your homeowner’s insurance company to inform them of the event, so they can send out an insurance adjuster to evaluate your claim. RK Restoration Services works in conjunction with your insurance company, and other essential trades to ensure that your home is back to its original condition quickly.
Thermal Imaging Leak Detection Services
When a homeowner or business owner realizes there is a leak, their natural instinct is to locate the source, and stop it. That makes perfect sense. There is a problem, so find the problem, and fix the problem. This works if the plumbing leak is visible, such as the drain hose from the washer broke, or a pipe underneath of the kitchen sink sprung a leak. Unfortunately, most of the flooding issues from plumbing result from leaks inside of the walls. They cannot be seen with the naked eye. Thermal imaging technology can allow companies to “see” inside of the walls, and get to the root of the problem, without causing unnecessary damage. RK Restoration Services offers state of the art thermal imaging technology to find plumbing leaks in your home or commercial property.
For the most part, when people think of water damaging their businesses, homes or condos, they immediately think of a pipe bursting and spraying water everywhere, or a window breaking during a tropical storm or hurricane and letting water rush indoors, or a bathtub faucet being left on while everyone is out for the day. While those situations do create major water damage, they simply aren’t the most common causes of water problems within a home or business. One of the most common causes of major water damage is a leak inside of the wall or ceiling. A leak can go undetected for a very long period of time before the business owner or homeowner even has the inclination that there might be a problem. Long term water leaks can be the worst possible scenario. Not only does the consistent drip or leak of water create visible damage to the drywall, but it also poses problems with the structural integrity of the building, if unnoticed quickly. This can be extremely costly to correct. RK Restoration Services uses thermal imaging technology to find leaks inside of walls, ceilings, and floors, so they can be repaired as soon as possible.
