Water leak detection services are important for your wallet, your home, and the environment.
Big responsibilities come with owning a home. There’s a lot that goes into owning a home that you are now fully invested in. Many homes have unfortunately been constructed or repaired with faulty materials that almost always lead to further, more extensive damage.
The last thing you want is a pipe bursting while you’re at work or on vacation. Even small leaks that go undetected behind walls can cause damage over time, waste money, and hurt the environment by wasting water.
Home insurance does cover certain types of water damage depending on the cause. In any water damage situation, you will have to look at three main factors to calculate what your total cost of damage repairs will be:
In addition to these factors, you must consider:
Types of water damage include clean, grey, and black water damage. According to Fixr; clean water, or water that comes from a pipe or rain, costs about $3.75 per sq.ft. Greywater, or water that comes from appliances that may contain chemicals, costs around $4.50 per sq.ft. to dry out. Blackwater, or water that comes from a contaminated source such as a sewer pipe, is around $7 per sq.ft
The average cost to clean up water damage is around $2,700 but may as go as high as $7,500 for severe damage.
For example, if your leak ends up being 6 feet underneath a concrete slab, you may have to pay more than someone whose leak appearing in a more obvious area.
Our professionals have extensive training on using high-tech leak detection equipment, and the irreplaceable (and highest of value in our opinion) trained ears that can find that leak 6 feet underground, under a slab of concrete.
