Water pipe leakage is a common problem in our daily life, which not only causes inconvenience, but also may bring property damage. Therefore, it is very important to understand how to detect and repair water pipe leakage.
First, water pipe leakage detection
1. Observe the water stains
First of all, we can observe whether there are water stains on the floor or wall of your home, which may be a sign of water pipe leakage. In order to determine more accurately, you can take the following approach: turn off all the faucets and water main valve switch at home, and then check whether the water meter is turning. If the meter doesn't turn, there may be no leak; if the meter does turn, there may be a leak.
If it is determined that the pipeline is leaking, we need to find the exact location of the leak. Due to the indoor water pipes are buried in the floor or wall, the leakage point is often not easy to find. At this point, we can use scientific technology to identify the leak, such as the pipeline leak detector, which uses the vibration sound of pressurized water rushing out of a broken pipe to detect the leak. Technicians will be along the pipeline above the interval of 0.5 meters to select points, vertical pipeline parallel displacement of three points, large pipelines using the "S" shape to select points, point by point to listen to the pipeline leak detector through the pipeline leak detector ground sound intensity, audio detection and analysis, to accurately locate the leak.
Second, water pipe leakage repair
1. Replacement of broken parts
Once you find the leak, first determine whether it is part of the location of the damage or the overall corrosion. If only part of the location of the damage, you can buy the appropriate parts for replacement. First, close the main valve of the water pipe, saw off the broken part, then clean the port, apply the right amount of glue, and connect the new part. If it is caused by overall corrosion, you need to replace the whole section of water pipe.
2. Professional Repair
If you can't fix the water pipe leakage problem by yourself, make sure to contact a professional repair company to fix it in time. They have a lot of experience and professional tools to quickly and accurately find the cause of the leak and repair it.
3. In order to avoid the inconvenience and property loss caused by water pipe leakage, we should regularly check and maintain the water pipes in our daily life, and replace the aging and broken water pipes in time. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the rational use of water resources, to avoid excessive pressure on water pipes caused by turning on or off the faucet for a long time and so on. Through these measures, we can effectively prevent the occurrence of water pipe leakage problems, to protect our quality of life and property safety.
