So the city knocks on your door and leaves a notice informing that you have a leak and they shut your water off and tell you to call an Oviedo plumbing contractor to find and fix the leak. There are times that a leak like this is located outside by the meter box or under the slab of the home but most of the common scenerios are toilet flappers and the water heater expansion valve or the temperature relief valve. If you get a notice, we at Drain Genie Plumbing Services suggest to check your water heater expansion valve. So how can you tell if its the expansion valve? Well look at the water heater and on the top of the piping of the water heater there is a brass metal fitting which has a 1/2 inch discharge line that usually runs outside of the home. Then follow that line and see if there is water coming from the pipe. The pipe should be dry if there is water flowing from it. Chances are you need to call an Oviedo plumber to replace the expansion valve. The temperature relief valve can also discharge in the same way and could also have to be replaced. If you have a leak, please give us a call at (407) 710-0210 .
