Summer is the ideal time to check your plumbing for Sarasota water leaks. Leaky faucets can waste 20 gallons of water a day. Running toilets can waste up to 200 gallons of water a day. That is the equivalent of drinking 3,520 cups of water in 24 hours! Inspect your pipes and joints to make sure they are leak-free and make sure the inside valve to your outdoor spigot is shut off. Though this is always a good idea, that last point in particularly important in the Winter. Though we rarely have to worry about freezing pipes in Sarasota, we do occasionally have those nights when temperatures fall below the freezing point. If you don’t feel comfortable inspecting your home for leaks, call us for fast response and leak location and detection expertise.

We do plumbing repair, water leak location and detection and water damage removal. If you notice water coming out of the street or close to a fire hydrant, then it’s likely to be a water main break. In this case, you will need to contact the appropriate municipal department. However, if you aren’t sure, contact us and we will be there within an hour. Never neglect water leaks in Sarasota or anywhere else. They’re unhealthy and can cause expensive structural damage.
