Frequently Asked Questions
How much does leak detection cost?
Costs vary depending on the location and complexity of the leak and the methods needed to find it. In most cases, the service call fee covers the leak detection itself.
Can you find a leak without tearing up my floor or walls?
Yes. We always make every effort to locate leaks without opening walls or damaging floors. If access is ultimately required, we'll explain why before any additional work is performed — we never recommend unnecessary work or costs.
What is a slab leak, and how serious is it?
A slab leak is a leak in the water lines running beneath your home's concrete foundation. Left unaddressed, it can lead to foundation damage and significant water loss, so it's worth investigating promptly if you suspect one — a warm spot on the floor or an unexplained bill spike are common early signs.
What are the signs of a hidden water leak?
Common signs include an unexplained increase in your water bill, a water meter that moves when no water is being used, damp or discolored areas, musty odors, warm spots on floors, or an unexplained change in water pressure.
Is a hidden leak an emergency?
Some leaks can be scheduled for prompt detection service. Active flooding, rapidly spreading water damage, or a leak that can't be controlled should be treated as urgent — see our Emergency Plumbing page.
Do you repair the leak too, or just locate it?
We do both — once a leak is located and confirmed, we can explain the repair options, provide pricing, and complete the work, so you're not coordinating between separate companies for detection and repair.
