DesMoines Emergency Water Leak Detection & Repair

A water leak in your home can range from a minor annoyance to a real disaster causing extensive damage. Thankfully, help is just a call away. Whether you have a pinhole leak, cracked water pipe, loose fitting, leaking water heater or dripping faucet, Golden Rule can fix all your water leaks, FAST.

Water Service Line Leaks

If you notice an unexplained increase in your water bill or a drop in water pressure, you could have water service line leak.  Golden Rule's plumbers have the experience to diagnose water line problems and make water service repairs.

Water Pipe Leaks

Obvious leaks in your plumbing will stain walls and ceilings, but smaller pinhole leaks in copper pipes are so tiny that the leak may go undetected for months or even years. A frozen pipe from two winters ago can casue a slow leak that remains undetected for years. The longer the leak continues, the more damage it can cause to your home.  Golden Rule's plumbers will repair your leaks and offer solutions to prevent future pinhole leak problems.

Leaking Water Heaters

Water heaters can leak water for a variety reasons, ranging from faulty pressure relief valves and excessive pressure, to overheating and corrosion. Golden Rule will quickly diagnose the problem and recommend the best solution to fix your hot water heater problems.

Leaking Faucets and Shower Heads

Just one leaking faucet can waste over 2,000 gallons of water per year. That's a month worth of showers! Golden Rule can repair any kind of faucet or shower leaks, including disk, ball, compression and cartridge style faucets.

Leaking Toilets

Repairing a leaking toilet can save thousands of gallons of water per year.  We can repair any brand of toilet including Gerber, Mansfield, American Standard, Kohler, and TOTO.

What To Do When You Have a Water Leak

There are a few tips that you can follow to help prevent costly damage to your home until we arrive to permanently fix the leak.

First, locate your main water valve to turn off the flow of water. The main water valve is often located near the meter where your water line enters the home, and can be inside or outside the house.

Next, inspect the leaking pipe and note the material of the pipe. Is it copper or PVC?  Your service specialist will use this information to help quickly repair your leak.

Never attempt to perform repairs or replacements yourself if you aren’t experienced in plumbing line repair, as even small mistakes could lead to expensive damage to your home.

Home Gas Leaks

Natural gas and propane are dangerous substances that require a trained professional, no matter how minor the repair. If you suspect there is a gas leak in your home, leave the house immediately and call your gas company for help.
