Other plumbing issues make themselves known quickly. It\u2019s very hard to not recognize a clogged toilet or a leaking faucet. The pipes tucked away in your home (in your basement, under your sink, in the walls) are less noticeable.<\/p>\n<p>A problem can occur in these pipes and go unnoticed for a significant amount of time. If you\u2019re not attentive to your plumbing system, you\u2019ll waste money. It\u2019s hard to detect these problems on your own, so if you need a <a href=\"\/plumber\/water-leak-detection\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">water leak detection services in Boston, MA<\/a>, our team at Cooling Unlimited, Inc can help.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Signs to Look For<\/h2>\n<h3>Excess Foundation Cracks<\/h3>\n<p>If you live in a home that\u2019s older, it\u2019s common to see a few cracks in your foundation as your house settles. It\u2019s abnormal if you have an excess number of cracks and no foreseeable cause for them. When water leaks undetected it causes the structural foundation of your home to weaken leading to cracks from the unbalanced pressure.<\/p>\n<h3>Increased Water Bills<\/h3>\n<p>When you get your monthly water bill, you know what to expect. If you\u2019ve used reasonable amounts of water in the last few months but have excessively high bills, you might have a hidden leak. The longer you let the leak go undetected, the longer it senselessly raises your water bill.<\/p>\n<h3>Water Damage<\/h3>\n<p>When a leak is unabridged, water starts to pool in unlikely places. If you experience stains on your floor, ceiling, or walls (especially during a time where we don\u2019t have any rainfall or snow) it\u2019s often a sign of water damage. This is also true for any warped walls, doors, bubbling surfaces, or buckled floors.<\/p>\n<h3>The Presence of Mold or Mildew<\/h3>\n<p>If you notice mold and mildew in the crevices of your home, especially in unlikely places, you might have a water leak on your hands. Water leaks raise the humidity levels in your home and create an environment where mold flourishes.<\/p>\n<h2>Call Our Team<\/h2>\n<p>At Cooling Unlimited, Inc., we have professional plumbers with extensive knowledge who can detect leaks for you with ease. Our plumbers understand the layout of plumbing systems well, so they use their extensive knowledge and couple it with video pipe inspection equipment. Video pipe inspection is exactly what it sounds like; your technicians send a small camera into your pipe to inspect it from the inside for problems. This process of detection is one of the least invasive methods. From there, they can detect a leak and resolve the issue.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Choose Cooling Unlimited, Inc?<\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019ve been in business for 30 years and throughout that time we\u2019ve developed tactics to understand the unique needs of homeowners.
