Detecting Gas Leaks

Gas Leaks

If you smell gas inside your home always take immediate action by calling 911 or your local fire department.  Natural gas and propane are dangerous flammable gasses.  You need to have the gas turned off immediately.  As you leave your home or business do not use any electrical equipment or mobile devices.  Do NOT flip any light switches, use a computer or a cell phone, evacuate immediately and leave the door open behind you to let the gas escape. Call our Dallas leak detection service to help locate any gas leaks in your home.

Water Leaks

Detection of water leaks can be a difficult task and should only be attempted by an expert technician specially trained in leak locating.  Decades of experience in leak locating and experimenting with different methods has allowed us to find our preferred method which we have the utmost confidence in.  We use geophones, air pressure, medical grade air compressors and line locators to examine your situation from multiple angles.  This allows our Dallas leak detection service to locate your water leak with pin point precision. After locating your leak we will present multiple repair options to find the right repair choice for you.

Sewer Odor

Over 20 years of experience detecting sewer odors in residential and commercial applications has given our highly skilled technicians at Total Plumbing an amazing advantage at thinking outside the box to detect the source of sewer odors.  Smoke testing is the main method used to find these sources.  Smoke testing consists of lighting an environmentally safe smoke bomb inside of a smoke machine to force smoke through your sewer system.  We then search the home to find where the smoke is exiting your sewer line, thus showing us the source of the leak.
