Water or Gas Leak Detection and Repair
Water leak detection, water leak repair, gas leak detection, and gas leak repair is one of the most common reasons for a plumbing service call. Water leaks in the plumbing system typically come from hot or cold domestic water pipes or drain pipes. Plumbing leaks that are not visible and are concealed behind walls or ceilings typically can not be priced over the phone and a service appointment time needs to be reserved to perform the diagnostics necessary to verify source of the leak and have better idea about the type of plumbing repair that needs to be done and its’ estimated cost. Sorry – no free estimates or upfront cost quotes are available for jobs with unknown number of gas leaks, or concealed water leaks. There are many reasons why piping need to be repaired or replaced. Domestic water pipe can get obstructed by crud, get frozen and burst, start leaking in joints due to a glavanic corrosion where two different metals are joined, when pin holes occur due to manufacturing impurities in the pipe wall and the water chemistry that weakens the pipe wall and start to leak, and the last but not least reason why pipes need to be replaced is then the copper and brass is stolen which happens a lot in many inner city areas. When your smell gas odor in your house and your gas is shut off, or if gas to your property has been turned off for a prononged time, you will need to do a gas pipe pressure test. What ever your reason for pipe repair or gas pressure test is, give Supreme Plumber a call if you need an affordable licensed plumber to get your job done.

Dishwasher and garbage disposal are very favorite and common kitchen appliances. Like many other appliances these days they do not make them like they used to. If your dishwasher or garbage diposal starts to leak from the bottom, or if it stops working and it was installed six or more years ago and has been used regulalry, chances are that repair will not be feasible and replacement by a licensend plummber is recommended. The most common dishwasher installation mistakes when performed by unqualified workers are:
* forgetting to high loop the discharge pipe
