Smart Ways to Pinpoint Water Leak Sources
Water leaks can cause significant damage to your home if not detected early. This is why identifying the source of a leak promptly is of utmost importance as it can save you time, money, and stress. When it comes to accurate water leak detection in Rancho Cordova, CA, no one does it better than Top Rank Plumbing.
Here are some smart ways to pinpoint water leak sources effectively.
Check Your Water Meter
One of the simplest ways to detect a leak is by checking your water meter. Turn off all water fixtures in your home and observe the meter. Leak repair experts pay close attention to the meter because if it continues to move, you likely have a leak. This method helps determine if the leak is inside your home or in the main water line.
Inspect Common Leak Areas
Certain areas of your home are more susceptible to leaks. Check under sinks, around toilets, and near water heaters for any signs of water. Look for puddles, damp spots, or mold growth. These are clear indicators of a leak. Additionally, main line and sewer leak detection professionals suggest inspecting your ceilings and walls for any discoloration or bulging, which can indicate hidden leaks.
Use Food Coloring
One of the most tried-and-tested methods used by providers of leak detection services to check for toilet leaks is to add a few drops of food coloring to the tank and wait for about 15 minutes. If the color appears in the toilet bowl without flushing, you have a leak. This simple test can help you quickly identify whether your toilet is wasting water.
Listen for Unusual Sounds
Water leaks often create distinct sounds, such as dripping or hissing. Pay attention to any unusual noises, especially at night when the house is quiet. Water leak repair professionals attest that these sounds can guide you to the leak’s location, making it easier to address the issue.
Use a Moisture Meter
A moisture meter is a handy tool for detecting hidden leaks. It measures the moisture content in walls, floors, and ceilings. High readings in specific areas indicate potential leaks, allowing you to take action before significant damage occurs.
Water leaks can cause extensive damage if they aren’t addressed promptly. By using these smart techniques, you can efficiently identify and fix leaks, protecting your home from further harm. If you’re experiencing water leak issues or need professional assistance, Top Rank Plumbing is the water leak detection company to turn to. We’re equipped with advanced tools and are armed with in-depth knowledge to locate and repair leaks swiftly and accurately.

TESTIMONIALS
Israel had great communication from the first time I reached out to the end of his visit. He was always clear, friendly and professional, not to mention on time! He explained the situation clearly, gave us all of the options plus his recommendation. At no point was he pushy or misleading, which I really appreciate. I will definitely call Israel again.

Israel at Top Rank Plumbing came to my recently purchased dream home that was becoming a urgent nightmare due to a mass of problems with the plumbing. I had toilets that would not flush, water backing up into the shower and tubs, yet a septic clearance had just been inspected and signed off months ago. He found and pressure washed old grease buildup and Israel returned and dug up a cracked pipe in the backyard. (In the pouring rain.) I'm glad I went with my gut as he shown vast knowledge from the level of his expertise. Israel was punctual, professional, so polite as he applied shoe covers on his shoes upon entrance leaving no mess behind before and after, and clearly explained each problem and corrected them within the budget. I will always continue to use Top Rank Plumbing and it would be my first recommendation to anyone!

Israel was able to come over within 2 hours and do some of our needed plumbing work. He works quickly, quietly, and really does a great job. Plus his rates were lower than almost every company in the area.

Israel and Malcom were very professional and provided first class service! Israel was able to price match or beat any other option out there, and he was willing to go above and beyond. Would highly recommend Top Rank Plumbing!

Marcus Wellman
Israel was the consumate professional when he serviced our office. He responded very promptly to our Yelp inquiry and discussed the issue with us upfront and gave some estimates, depending on what the problem turned out to be. He was punctual, responsive, and fair in his dealings with us. He fixed our problem, above and beyond our expectations, and was clear about the process every step of the way. We could not be happier and Israel will be the first guy we call at our office when we have any plumbing issue. I will also call him for any personal plumbing issue that arises, this is how impressed I am. Thank you and job well done.

After waiting a day+ for a plumber we have used in the past to call me, I decided to look online. I'm glad I found Top Rank Plumbing. My call was answered immediately and Israel headed to our house right away to fix our problem. Israel's service was efficient and thorough. His communication is via text and email. I appreciate receiving a quote for additional work we plan to have him perform in the near future.

Israel gave us awesome service. I thought we may have a water leak in our walls so he had me shut the water main off. My husband recently passed away and he handled all these things so I didn’t know where it was. Israel did FaceTime with me and walked me out to the faucet. He explained that we would have one toilet flush which I thought was very considerate of him to even think about telling us that. He was able to come out within a couple hours. He immediately took my name and phone number and email address with the phone call and sent me an appointment notice. He was so professional with how he handled everything. He explained everything to me and my daughter-in-law and didn’t talk down to us because we were women. He was able to fix the problem quickly. Thank goodness it wasn’t a leak! I highly recommend Israel.

I had a pipe break under my sink. I had a emergency call into them and they were here within an hour. and took care of the problem. I had another problem and they were back as promised. The tech was very nice and guided us through each step of what he was doing. I will for-sure call them if I ever need a plumber again.

Before called Top Rank Plumbing, I had handyman came to see if he can fix the no cold water coming out issue on shower, paying $200 and he couldn't fix it. I found Top Rank Plumbing from Yelp which I saw good feedbacks. I called and Isreal came over, and after examined he knew how to fix the issue. He explained what need to be done, then he had to go to work on another client first. At 5:30 pm Isreal and his team came and started working on fixing the issue. the team did an excellent job, no cold water problem fixed. it was very late when they finished the job, I did not expected them to clean dust in shower room, but Isreal cleaned the dust before leaving. Price was reasonable and service was outstanding.

A big-name plumbing company came to my home on Friday and diagnosed my plumbing problem in the shower. Well they made a big mistake because by Saturday afternoon my shower upstairs was not draining and unbeknownst to me when I would run water in the bathroom it was causing more water to come up through the shower. I called alpha male and they were out to my house within an hour corrected the problem and it only took about an hour. I highly recommend this company! They were professional and knowledgeable. They charge a little bit more on the weekend, as that is expected. But even that rate was cheaper than what the big-name plumbing company would have charged me for the same solution.

Don't let the business's name put you off; the owner is not chauvinistic or a bully at all. Israel and his crew labored long and hard (in this heat!) to replace an old, blocked sewer pipe. The needed repair options were clearly explained to my husband and I. Also appreciated were the after-job clean-ups and the senior discount. Top Rank Plumbing went above and beyond to do the job right, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

I called Top Rank Plumbing and Israel came out within about an hour (earlier than expected which was amazing). He worked for over and hour to clear the clog in our clean-out. He was very professional and made several attempts to clear it. Very happy with the outcome and very reasonable price. We’ll definitely use them again, if needed.

Lorie Rowe 08/16/2022
Israel was courteous and very punctual. He explained everything that he was doing. He explained the cost prior to doing anything. I highly recommend alpha male plumbing for your plumbing needs.

Steve thank you for guiding us on how to fix the leak properly and acquiring the required parts. One of my close friend who has done many plumbing jobs helped me out. When I first told him on how much the estimate was and how it should be fixed, he was skeptical and said that I am being ripped off. When he came and tried to fix it his old way, he ran into issues and finally came to the conclusion that your way was the right way to fix the leak. Since all plumbing shops were closed for the weekend, we ordered manual pro press from Amazon that arrived the next day. My friend finished the job in an hour. Two days have passed, no leakage. My friend changed his stance and appreciated your profressionalism. Hats off to you guys. I am renting the house. If it was mine, I would have gone with you guys and replaced the entire piping. I am buying a house this year and you guys will be my plumbing company. I am myself a businessman. Business is all about help your customers and building trust.
