Professional Vancouver Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR)

In plumbing, leaks happen. Since water damage is progressive, immediate service to prevent major damage is not optional. Sarkinen’s Vancouver plumbers provide fast and effective service to deal with your leaks as soon as possible.

From leaky drains under cabinets, to more destructive leaks in walls and floors, to punctures in the city water line that make for a soggy, sinking lawn, leaking pipes need the attention of quality Vancouver plumbers. Our licensed and skilled technicians detect leaks quickly and get to work repairing them immediately.

Leak Detection Technology + Experience

Fixing your leak the first time is our highest priority. We use advanced leak detection equipment that often allows us to pin-point leak sources without having to tear into walls or dig up your yard. This can save you a lot over more invasive repair techniques. When paired with the expertise of our Vancouver plumbers, our leak detection equipment allows us to find and repair any leak.

Whether your water leak problem turns out to be large or small, the team at Sarkinen Plumbing can help.

Water Leak Repair & Prevention

Much of the time, leaks can be repaired easily and at relatively low expense. However, frequent leaks and low water pressure can point to larger problems with your home’s plumbing. Components can wear out over time. Pipes that have been exposed to weather, rodents, or outdated pipe material such as cast iron or ceramic may need replacement with new piping. In these cases partial or whole home repipes may be necessary to maintain the integrity of your home’s plumbing. We provide no obligation estimates on plumbing re-pipes.  We offer different levels of re-piping and financing to those that may need or have been thinking about re-piping their property.

LDAR FAQ

Vancouver deserves the best in leak detection and repair. Before you decide to hire any plumber to help, make sure to ask questions like

  • Will you fix the leak on the first visit?
  • When they first come to your home, some plumbers will find the problem, cut a hole to verify and expose it, shut the water off, and come back the next day after your walls have dried out a bit. This leaves you without water for longer than necessary, and gains you a hefty emergency plumbing bill. At Sarkinen Plumbing, we don’t operate that way. Unless there is a specific circumstance that requires an extended dry-out for effective leak repair, we fix your leaks and get your home or business back in operation as soon as we can. Because we care about your needs, we’ll always explain what needs to be done in full and answer any questions you have.
  • Will you help figure out dry-out?
  • If necessary, we will provide you with recommendations concerning how long you need to dry out your space to avoid sealing up water in places where it might cause mold or other issues for your home. Working with you, we will figure out the best way to provide this time and the air circulation needed to prevent the leak from becoming an even bigger problem.
  • How much time will leak detection and repair take?
  • Unfortunately, the only simple answer here is “As little as possible.” Some leaks are more obvious as to their source than others – a shower leaking from the second story down through the floor to the first, for instance, can be a straightforward process of locating. But repairing can be complicated by our ability to access the pipes that are the source of the problem. Our goal is to make repairs as unobtrusive as possible. We trust that our Vancouver plumbers will be in and out of your home as quickly as they can.
  • Does the process of LDAR mean I can’t use my water?
  • There will probably be some time at which we will have to turn off your water in order to fix the issue. If possible, we will use local shutoff valves which do not disrupt the house as a whole, but sometimes that is what’s required. As we said above, though, our goal is to make our repairs as unobtrusive as possible. We will only have your water off as long as is strictly necessary to do our jobs.
  • How much damage will be done to my property in the process of repairing the leak?
  • If we need to do any lasting damage to your home in order to access the offending part of your plumbing, we will make it as absolutely minimal as possible, and let you know what we did and why. This way, you or someone who specializes in structural repair can do what they need to do to get your home back to pre-leak conditions. Remember that the goal of repairing leaks is to minimize damage: we do what we have to in order to prevent worse from happening.
  • Should I shut off my water to stop the leak until you get here?
  • Yes. As soon as you detect a leak, find the water shutoff valve to your home (oftentimes located in your basement, crawlspace, or garage) and shut it down so that water can no longer flow. This is the most effective way to minimize the damage a leak can cause before we get there.
