Leak Detection & Repair

Have you noticed a sudden increase in your water bill? Maybe you have a damp wall or cabinet, a warm spot on the floor or walls, toilets that won’t flush well, slow drains, or the smell of natural gas around your home. All of these are major signs of a water, sewer or gas leak. Don’t wait and spend more money or cause more damage to your home – call the Boston leak detection experts at Hub Plumbing & Mechanical.

Water Leaks

Initially, water leaks are most often revealed by unusually high water bills. Your water leak could be as minor as a running toilet or could be more serious, like a leak under the slab, or foundation, of your home. If you suspect you have a water leak, call Hub Plumbing & Mechanical. We will isolate and repair the problem using state-of-the-art leak location equipment. Once we’ve pinpointed the source of your trouble, we can make repairs quickly so you can stop spending excess money on utilities. We offer up-front estimates so you know the cost in advance of work being started.

Early detection and repair of water leaks is essential to saving on costly home repairs, especially when dealing with a slab leak. Foundation leaks can cause erosion, leading to additional stress and damage to the building structure.

Foundation Leaks

Movement in the foundation of your home could be caused by a plumbing leak under the slab. Water and sewer lines beneath your home can cause cracks and movement in the structure. At Hub Plumbing & Mechanical, we can fix the leak and stop further erosion of the ground below your house. We can check for leak location with state-of-the-art equipment without using invasive procedures. When the leak is found, we will make pipe repairs by exposing the broken pipe by tunneling under the slab or temporarily removing a small section of concrete from above. Our knowledgeable technicians will discuss with you the best course of action to cause the least destruction of your property.

Sewer Leaks

Sewer leaks can cause slow drainage in your home, gurgling sounds when flushing the toilet, and a sulfuric or rotten egg smell. With our video camera inspection and smoke testing technology, Hub Plumbing & Mechanical can find the origin of the problem in your sewer lines. Root invasion and soil movement cause stress on the drain line and could lead to separation. Don’t allow the problem to grow and cause costly damage. Contact Hub Plumbing & Mechanical to make minimally invasive repairs on your sewer leaks today!

Gas Leaks

Gas leaks increase the risk of fire and carbon monoxide poisoning in your home, making them incredibly dangerous. Our Boston technicians will isolate the leaks in your gas system and verify the safety of your home so you and your family have peace of mind and comfort. After repairs are made to the gas leak, pressure testing verifies all leaks have been corrected.

Frozen Pipes & Winterizing

Winter in Boston can be unpredictable and hard on pipes. Frequent temperature changes lead to frozen and broken pipes. For winterizing or leak repair caused by unexpected temperature drops, call Hub Plumbing & Mechanical of Boston.
