Frequently Asked Questions
How to find a water leak outside
Outdoor water leaks could involve a hose bib or valve on the side of your house or an underground pipe leak. Start by using your senses: look, listen, smell, and touch your way to the water leak’s source. If that doesn’t work, call Roto-Rooter for professional water leak detection and repair.
Does homeowners' insurance cover water leaks?
That depends on your insurance coverage. Check your policy for specific coverage, but most policies pay for water damage caused by leaks, not for the plumbing repairs themselves.
Can a plumber fix a water leak?
Yes, plumbers are trained to find and repair plumbing leaks of all kinds.
How to find a water leak inside a wall
Water leaks can be hidden by floors and walls for a long time before damage is revealed. Press on the wall for weak, spongy areas. Sniff for musty odors. Go low; water always seeks the lowest level, so check beneath a suspected leak zone for signs of water damage. Don’t cut into walls and floors until you’re sure of the leak’s location. This could lead to unnecessary damage. Call Roto-Rooter for water leak detection and repair services.
What will seal a water leak?
It depends on the size and nature of the water leak. Pipe leaks should be repaired according to plumbing codes and best practices. Relying on tape or glue fixes provides only a temporary fix and should not be relied upon as a permanent repair.
