Pipe Corrosion Detection in Baton Rouge, New Orleans, Hammond & Slidell

Corrosion in a plumbing pipe is a significant threat that, if not detected, can create irreparable damage to your home or office. Because most pipelines use iron or steel, the risk of corrosion remains high all the time. Corrosion leads to plumbing leaks, sewer line leaks, slab foundation leaks, and more for residential & commercial customers in Baton Rouge, Covington, Hammond, New Orleans, Denham Springs, and other cities throughout our service area.

Fortunately, the leak inspectors at Louisiana Leak Detection use infrared cameras, SONAR imaging, and other high-end technological advancements to detect plumbing leaks caused by pipe corrosion, drastic temperature change, untreated drain clogs, high water pressure, and more! To find the water leaks at your property, our IICRC-certified technicians stand ready to assist on a 24/7/365 basis.

Why Does Corrosion Occur in Pipelines?

The bends or angles in a pipe are prone to corrosion. The high velocity of fluid passing through the pipe contributes to the corrosion of material on the internal part of the pipe. This increases the high pressure, particularly where the pipe bends or is at an angle. This makes such angular edges the weakest point in the pipeline system. Corrosion can further lead to stress-induced cracks, giving rise to leaks or ruptures in the pipe system. This can present a potential risk to the production process as well as human lives.
