FAQs

COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT LEAK DETECTION

Have questions about leak detection, slab leaks, or pipe replacement? Here is what homeowners ask us most.

How do I know if I have a hidden leak?

Common signs are an unexplained jump in your water bill, damp spots or stains on walls, floors or ceilings, a musty smell, low water pressure, warm spots on the floor, or the sound of running water when nothing is on.

How do you find a leak without tearing up my house?

Our technicians use non-invasive detection to narrow down the location before any access work happens. That keeps the opening as small as possible and the repair as contained as possible.

What is a slab leak?

It is a leak in the water lines running under your home's concrete foundation. Warm spots on the floor, running water sounds and unexplained water bills are typical signs. We locate it and walk you through the repair options.

How much does leak detection and repair cost?

It depends on where the leak is, how accessible it is and whether the fix is a spot repair or a pipe replacement. You get a flat-rate price before any work begins.

Should I repair the pipe or repipe the house?

If the failure is isolated, a spot repair is the right call. If you are getting repeat pinhole leaks or the system is old galvanized pipe, a repipe often costs less over time. Repiping is priced based on the number of bathrooms and the pipe material, and our technician walks you through both options honestly.

How soon can you come out?

We work to schedule as quickly as possible. For leaks that cannot wait, we book the earliest available slot in the schedule.

Do you repair the wall or floor afterward?

We handle the plumbing repair and close things up cleanly. Tell us what access we are working with and we explain exactly what to expect before we start.

My water bill spiked but I cannot find anything. Can you help?

Yes. That is one of the most common reasons homeowners call us. We pressure test and trace the system to find where the water is going.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. We offer flexible financing through our lending partner so you can get the repair done now instead of waiting.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes. We stand behind every repair and installation we complete.
