About Leak Detection and Repair

A hidden leak is quietly costing you. We find it without tearing up your home.

Leaks hide behind walls, under floors and in the yard. Left alone they damage structure, grow mold and drive up your bill. We use a methodical process to confirm that you have a leak, narrow down where it is and verify the source before we open anything.

Our Leak Detective tool walks you through a simple water meter test you can do at home, and we take it from there with proper detection and a repair that is sized to the problem.

Questions About Leak Detection and Repair

Still have a question?

Call (629) 276-6322

How do I know if I have a hidden leak?

Watch for a rising water bill, the sound of running water, damp or warm spots and a meter that moves when everything is off. Our Leak Detective tool shows you the meter test.

Will you have to break open walls?

We locate the leak first so any opening is small and in the right place.

Can you find leaks under a slab?

Yes. See our Slab Leak Detection and Repair page.

What causes hidden leaks?

Worn pipes, failing fittings, high pressure, corrosion and shifting ground are common causes. We explain what we find at your property.
