Plumbing Pipe Leak Orange County

When you have a leaking pipe, the very first thing you want to do is turn off the water source to that pipe. In case the pipe is below the kitchen or bathroom sink or leading to the toilet, then the water valve ought to be right at the source. The first mistake that many people make is to panic and they leave the water on, which leads to a flooded bathroom, kitchen and to all the more costly repairs. After the water is off and you really are sure that you have located the source of the leak, then you definitely need to find what has caused the leak so you can start your leaking pipe repair.

Orange County Slab Leak Lawsuit

Orange County residents have been experiencing slab leaks in large numbers of areas such as Laguna Niguel, Laguna Hills, Aliso Viejo, Irvine and Santa anna, but from what i understand there is a lawsuit going on to try to figure out which partys are going to be responsable. From what ive seen in the past with these lawsuits is that the homeowners that live in those areas affected will get a refund of of a pre set amount determined by the courts once the lawsuit goes through. The Orange County slab leaks usally start out as a small pin hole in the pipe under the house and can quickly turn into water damage to your home, and in most cases one pin hole means that there will be more to come.

Orange County Slab Leak Detection For Homeowners

Slab Leak Detection

If you think you have a slab leak in your home there are a few things you can do yourself to determine if you have a leak and where the slab leak is.

First thing you can do is check the city water meter in front of your house. Make sure all the water in your home is turned off then go out to the meter and take the cover off the meter but be warned that there will be spiders, after you get the cover off the meter there should be a lid you can flip up on top of the meter, once the meter lid is open what you want to look for is a small red triangle. If the triangle is spinning then there is water leaking some where in your home or main line.(Note this method will not work if there is a shower valve or a faucet leaking in your home.)

Another way to tell is if you can hear water running through the pipes even when everything in the house is turned off including the sprinklers. If you hear the sound of running water behind your walls you most likely have a leak.

To locate the leak you can feel the floor for any moisture or unusual hot or cold spots. If the slab leak is on the hot water pipe the floor will feel hot if its on the cold the floor will feel cold. One way to do this quickly is to walk the house bare foot to locate the moisture and hot or cold spots.
