Water Mitigation in Mesa, Gilbert, and Phoenix Areas.

Our team at Drip Restoration employs fast, reliable methods to detect leaks in walls, pipes, slabs, and underground areas:

1. Thermal Imaging : We use infrared thermal imaging cameras that can spot temperature differences caused by water leaks, scanning walls, ceilings, and floors for anomalies.
2. Moisture Meters: These devices measure the moisture content in materials such as drywall, wood, or flooring. Elevated moisture levels can indicate a hidden water leak.
3. Pressure Testing: We may conduct pressure testing by isolating specific sections of the plumbing system checking for drops in pressure that signify a leak.
4. Acoustic Leak Detection: Our team uses specialized equipment to listen for the sound of water escaping from pipes, making it easier to pinpoint the location of the leak.

Here are some warning signs that may indicate you have a water leak:

1. Water Staining: Look for signs of water stains, drips, or puddles under sinks, around toilets, or near appliances like dishwashers and washing machines.
2. Unusual Water Usage: Check your water meter & utility bill to see if your water usage is higher than normal.
3. Acoustic Noises: Dripping or hissing sounds can indicate a hidden leak.
4. Damp & Must Odors: A musty or moldy smell in a specific area of your home can signal hidden moisture.
5. Mold Growth: Mold thrives in damp environments, and its presence can signal a water leak.

At Drip Restoration, we provide a wide array of leak detection services to safeguard your property and peace of mind.

1. Slab Leak & Repair: Detecting and repairing leaks beneath the concrete slab foundation of a building can be challenging due to their concealed location. These leaks pose a risk of structural damage.
2. Pipe Leak: Leaks can manifest in various areas within a plumbing system, including water supply lines, drain pipes, and sewer lines. Such leaks often require professional repairs to prevent water damage.
3. Roof Leak: When water breaches your roofing materials and infiltrates the building's interior, it can cause ceiling stains, damaged insulation, and mold growth. 
4. Basement Leak: Leaks in basements can result from foundation cracks, inadequate drainage, or hydrostatic pressure, leading to water damage and mold issues.
5. Ceiling Leak: Often resulting from roof leaks or plumbing troubles on upper floors, ceiling leaks can cause water stains, peeling paint, and damage to ceilings and light fixtures.
6. Wall Leak: Wall leaks occur when water penetrates the walls of a building, leading to potential structural damage, mold growth, and wall deterioration.
7. Crawl Space Leak: These leaks can arise due to excessive humidity, plumbing issues, or insufficient ventilation in the crawl space beneath a home, leading to mold growth and structural complications.
8. Sewer Leak: Leaks in sewer lines can cause unpleasant odors and pose potential health hazards, often necessitating prompt repair to avert sewage backup.
9. Gas Line Leak: Gas leaks involving the escape of natural gas or propane from gas lines or appliances are dangerous and demand immediate attention and repair.
10. Water Heater Leak: Leaks in water heaters occur when the tank or its components get damaged or corroded. These can cause water damage in the surrounding area, pose potential electrical hazards if the water heater is electric, and disrupt the supply of hot water. Depending on the severity, repairs or replacement of the water heater may be necessary.
