How to Know When Your House Has a Leak

Residential Plumbing Services in Charlottesville VA

When you suspect that your house has a leak, there are a series of steps you can take to make sure you are right. A very basic skill to cultivate is learning how to read your water meter. Find your meter and then follow these steps.

What a Water Meter Leak Indicator Can Tell You About a Leak

With careful consideration of what your water meter is telling you, you can determine if a leak is occurring and whether it is inside or outside the home.

Your meter may have a leak indicator, which may be a small silver wheel or a triangular dial. When the leak indicator is moving, it is showing that you have a leak.

Don’t Have an Indicator?

If you have no leak indicator on your meter, you can stop all water by shutting it off and then watch to see if the numbers continue to climb. If you are not using any other water and your water to the house is shut off they should completely stop.

If the meter indicates water is still flowing then you have a leak and it is located outside the house, between the meter and the shut off valve.

If you have a water leak it is best to contact a professional for assistance. Call Absolute Plumbing & Drain Cleaning Services Inc. to find the right help for your situation.

Key Benefits of Drain Cleaning

Benefits of Sewer Drain Cleaning

Rather than wait until disaster strikes for your drain and plumbing system, it’s better that you take a more proactive approach and schedule regular drain cleanings. Doing so goes a long way in keeping your drain running clear, which goes a long way in keeping your finances from running dry.

Fewer Smells

If you’ve had drain or plumbing problems before, then you know how they can stink up your house. By having your drains cleaned by a professional, you avoid the chances of coming across a pungent and thick odor in your kitchen or bathroom.

Fewer Blockages

Backed up drains are something else you can better avoid with regular drain cleanings. Now you don’t have to worry about your toilet overflowing, which can lead to the foul smells mentioned above as well as major repairs.

A Cleaner Home

Cleaner drains promote cleaner homes. Think about how much bacteria, germs, viruses and other harmful agents reside in your kitchen and bathroom and around your drains. Drain cleaning gives you the peace of mind of knowing your home is that much cleaner, which can reduce the chances of you and anyone else in your home becoming unnecessarily sick.

Signs Your Septic Tank Needs Service

Septic Tank Services in Charlottesville VA

Absolute Plumbing & Drain Cleaning Services Inc explains some of the signs that your septic tank needs service.

Odors

If you ever step outside and catch a whiff of a foul scent, it could be your septic tank rather than the neighbor’s dog. The reason for the smell is your wastewater, which is composed of drainage from your bathroom sink, kitchen, shower, toilet and dishwasher. All of that water combines and can create a nasty smell if there’s an issue with your tank.

Standing Water

Do you have standing water in your yard even though it hasn’t rained in a while? This is often a sign that your tank is full and has started to overflow. With a fully functioning septic tank, the wastewater remains underground. A malfunctioning tank tends to become backed up with solid waste, which causes the water level to rise and the tank to overflow out into your yard.

Sluggish Draining

Drains that aren’t clogged but still clear out slowly could be indications of septic tank problems. What’s likely happening is your tank has gotten full and can’t take on any more wastewater, hence the slow drainage.
If you need septic tank service, contact the professionals at Absolute Plumbing & Drain Cleaning Services Inc today for assistance.
