Leak detection and repair
Finding and fixing leaks before they spread
A small leak inside a wall or under a floor can cause damage long before it’s visible. The goal is to find the source with as little disruption as possible, then repair it properly.
When this makes sense
- Your water bill rose without a change in use
- You see stains, bubbling paint, or damp spots on walls or ceilings
- You hear running water when nothing is on
- The water meter moves with every fixture off
What the assessment covers
- A meter test to confirm there is a leak
- Fixtures, valves, and visible piping
- Locating the source with as few wall or floor openings as possible
- Checking for related water damage
Options to discuss
Spot repair
Repairing the section that failed.
Section replacement
Replacing a longer run when the pipe around the leak is also worn.
Repipe assessment
When leaks keep recurring, a look at whether repiping is the better long-term fix.

Questions about leak repair
How can I check for a leak myself?
Turn off every fixture and appliance that uses water, then look at your water meter. If the low-flow indicator is still moving, water is going somewhere.
