Bakersfield, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/18/2015 -- The Plumbing Doc, located in Bakersfield, CA, announces it will be expanding operations in less than two years. Rick Clemmons, the business owner, states they are adding two new trucks to meet the growing demand for their services. In addition, the company will be adding a new leak detection service known as Thermal Imaging leak detection. This type of imaging uses infrared technology and detects water leaks not clearly visible.

"Ruptured water lines and failing appliances result in more than $9 billion in losses every year. In addition to repairs to the home, individuals often find they have lost priceless items, such as family photos, and must secure temporary housing while the repairs are completed. Sadly, many leaks hide behind walls, in ceilings and in other places where they cannot be seen by the human eye. The new leak detection system helps to find and identify these leaks before they cause major damage," Rick Clemmons, owner of The Plumbing Doc, explains.

The average repair cost following a hot water heater failure comes in at $4,444. These failures typically occur as a result of a sudden rupture or a slow leak, accounting for 65 percent of all problems in this area. When water supply hoses fail on a washing machine, homeowners can expect to pay, on average, $5,308. Most homeowners aren't aware that the life of a standard washing machine hose is around five years.

"These are only two examples of major damage resulting from a water leak. The Water Leak Detection in Bakersfield service helps to catch these problems early, when repairs are less costly, if they are needed at all. When a problem is identified, The Plumbing Doc offers Leak Repair in Bakersfield to ensure the work is done properly the first time," Clemmons states.

Other areas of concern include toilets, sinks and appliances, as they can cause as much as $150,000 worth of damage in only 30 minutes. An inch of water may not seem like much, yet it can cost $8,000 to have it removed from the home, and this continue to be the most common claim received by insurance companies.
