What to Do When Your Walls are Leaking

A leak behind your walls can cause significant damage to your home, so it needs to be addressed as quickly as possible. At the first signs of a leak, call on Leak Detective Specialist, Inc. for water leak repair in Jacksonville. Here are the steps we take to repair water leaks behind your walls.

Find the Leak

The first thing our technicians need to do is identify the source of the leak. You may have a leak in your interior plumbing, but that’s not always the source of the water. Clogged gutters and downspouts, and broken flashing could be allowing water to leak into your home from the roof. You may also be dealing with sprinkler pipes. Our team will perform a leak inspection to determine where the water is coming from.

Repairing Leaks

Once we determine the source of the leak, it’s time for us to repair the leak. Depending on the source of the link, different repair-work is needed. If the leak is coming from within the walls itself, the repair will be relatively simple, but if it’s in the roof, you may have a more complicated issue on your hands.

Leak Prevention

Leaky walls can be a hassle to repair, so taking steps to prevent leaks is crucial. Make sure your gutters and downspouts are clean. You should also regularly inspect your caulking. Another step that can go a long way toward preventing leaks is to get your plumbing inspected on a regular basis.
