At some time or another, every King City homeowner has to deal with the inconvenience of leaks. They can come from any number of places and, at various times, might find you and yours confronting the old plumbing, a rain-soaked roof, or even a compromised water heater. Generally speaking, leaks from these sorts of things are the most common—and water loves to travel along the path of least resistance, which is why it often seems to come out of nowhere and go everywhere. Identifying the type of leak you have is the key to knowing what kind of fix you need to make. Of course, if you don't feel confident making that call, by all means, consult a professional. That's what they are there for—helping you avoid the next step in the path of least resistance, which is "Oh, no! My wonderful home is suddenly a swamp!"
Understanding what kind of leak you have is just the first step; dealing with it as soon as possible is what really counts. If you have a leak, this is where you could be headed: (1) Mold. Depending on how severe the leak is, you could be looking at mold growth in places you can't see, like inside your walls. Mold can happen without a lot of water. All it needs is moisture and a food source, and your walls and ceiling are happy to oblige. Mold isn't just unattractive. It can cause or exacerbate respiratory problems and other health issues. (2) Damage to your foundation from water problems. If your home's foundation has cracks in it, and you have a plumbing leak, you can be sure water is going into those cracks and then some. And if your plumbing problem is severe enough that the leak is gushing, or has gushed, the foundation could be in real trouble. A bathroom above that foundation could be a large part of the problem.
The need for reliable leak repair at home is something that King City residents share with people all over the world. Yet, there are few communities like King City where the residents are as well served by local leak repair experts. In my research, I wasn’t able to find any local contractors who could even do half of what M&M Leak Detection does. Not only do the pros at M&M have the specialized equipment necessary to find and fix pretty much any kind of leak problem, they also make the repairs using techniques that are safe, sound, and most importantly, up to code – which means the work is both legal and guaranteed to last. That’s right: If you can find a leak, they can fix it. If you can’t find a leak, they can find it and then fix it.
