Behind walls and ceilings
Blistering paint, a spreading stain or a damp patch on a wall or ceiling may be a sign that a supply or drain line is leaking behind it. The plumber you hire finds the leak.
Leak Detection and Slab Leak Repair in Peoria
A leak that stays out of sight can damage finishes, push up the water bill or leave a floor warm underfoot. Call, describe the signs, and we connect you with a plumber who looks for the source.
Whether the water is escaping inside a wall, under the concrete floor or out in the yard changes the repair, and the plumber you hire works out which case yours is.
Where hidden leaks show up
Under the slab
Slab leaks run in pipes beneath the concrete. When you call, mention a warm spot on the floor, the sound of water running with every fixture off or a bill that climbs without explanation.
The yard line
An underground line carrying water to the house can leak, which shows up as a wet patch in the yard or weak pressure at every tap. Finding the leak and repairing it is the job of the plumber you hire.
Fixtures and fittings
Faucet drips, toilets that run and valves that weep are leaks too, and they are covered on the fixture repair page. The plumber you hire can say whether the fitting or the pipe behind it is at fault.
Pressure, summer heat and the tap
Peoria Water Services says system pressure is typically between 50 and 80 pounds per square inch (psi), and it can fall as low as 40 psi at peak demand, which the city puts at 7 to 9 in the morning and 6 to 11 at night.
In summer the buried pipes absorb ground heat, so the cold tap runs warm; the city says tap water is never truly cold in the hot months. Pressure that stays low outside the peak hours is a question for the plumber you hire.
Heater trouble and failing supply lines sit close to leaks, which is why the water heater page and the repiping page may help next. The homepage lists every service.
