- Visible leak or pooling water

- The sound of running water or rattling pipes when water isn’t in use
- Peeling or bubbling paint or water-stained drywall

Our Leak Detection Services
We use a wide range of industry-approved technologies to perform accurate plumbing leak detection and pipe inspections. These include acoustic sensors, sewer line video cameras, dyes, hydrometers, and more. Our plumbers will use the most appropriate tools based on the suspected leak in your home.
The leak detection process typically takes around an hour, but this depends on the size of your home, the extent of the leak and the affected area, and the complexity of your plumbing.
Once we identify the source of the leak, we’ll recommend the most efficient, effective repair, whether that’s repiping, repairing a pipe, etc. When the leak is repaired, we’ll then test your plumbing system to verify that the issue is resolved.

FAQs
Can I repair the plumbing leak myself?
It depends on the cause. If it’s a loose washer or nut on a faucet or a similarly simple repair causing the leak, then it’s possible. However, if the leak is due to a damaged pipe, broken toilet seal, etc., it’s best to hire a professional plumber.
How often should I schedule plumbing maintenance?
Maintenance is the best way to protect your home against plumbing leaks. That’s why we recommend scheduling an annual plumbing inspection to ensure everything is tight, secure, sealed, and working properly.
Will a leak get worse if I don't fix it?
Most plumbing leaks will only get worse with time. The longer you wait, the higher your water bill will go and the more significant damage it will cause to your home. Thus, a plumbing leak isn’t something homeowners should ignore.
