We will find your leak and get it fixed quickly and with the highest quality workmanship.

Dangers Caused by Water Leaks

Domestic plumbing leaks are common, causing billions of dollars in property damage in the United States every year. Even a small leak can quickly escalate into a much larger leak and significant water damage. Water leaks inside the house can damage your furniture, flooring, drywall, flood the basement, and damage the beams of the house and your foundation.

The problem could be a water leak when you have:

  • Water in the yard when there hasn’t been rain

  • Sudden increases in your water bills

  • Water in the street

  • Low water pressure

  • Wet spots in or around your house

  • Cracks in the foundation

  • The sound of water running

Although many people think of the damage that can be done to the interior of their homes or commercial properties, water can cause serious damage to the exterior of your home as well. If the water main is broken, your property could become flooded and your lawn and landscape destroyed. When the water main leaks under a driveway, walkway, or patio, it can ruin brickwork, concrete, or even result in a sinkhole.

How to Tell You Might Have a Underground Leak

  • Water pressure drops

  • Unusual noises

  • Dirty water

  • Noticeable mold build up

  • Unusual odors

Accurate Leak Detection

If you suspect a plumbing leak, it must be accurately located to ensure that the repair is completed properly. Overlooking relatively minor leaks can lead to major headaches and much more expensive and complex repairs. Some plumbing leaks are obvious, such as water spouting out of a pipe under the kitchen sink, while others are more challenging to locate.

Our plumbing technicians are properly trained and have the skill and tools needed to quickly find leaks in your plumbing system. We participate in continual training to make sure that we are updated on all emerging technologies and methods for detecting and repairing plumbing leaks. We use sophisticated leak detection methods and innovative technology, such as highly sensitive microphones that can detect the sound of water moving through pipes or coming out of the pipe under the ground.
