Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a hidden leak?
Signs include unusually high water bills, damp spots on walls or ceilings, mold growth, or the sound of running water when pipes aren’t in use. Professional leak detection identifies the source quickly, ensuring timely repairs that prevent structural damage and further complications.
Are leak detection methods invasive?
No. Modern leak detection uses advanced tools such as thermal imaging, acoustic listening devices, and pressure testing to locate issues precisely. These methods are non-invasive, meaning minimal disruption to walls, floors, or landscaping while still ensuring accurate results and effective repair solutions.
How quickly can a leak be repaired?
The repair timeline depends on the location and severity of the leak. Minor leaks may be fixed within hours, while larger or hidden leaks could require more extensive work. Professionals provide clear timelines and efficient solutions to minimize inconvenience and protect property integrity.
What causes pipes to leak?
Pipes may leak due to corrosion, shifting soil, high water pressure, or aging materials. Poor installation and tree root intrusion can also contribute. Professional inspections identify the cause and recommend appropriate repairs or replacements, ensuring reliable long-term performance of your plumbing system.
Do small leaks really need professional repair?
Yes. Even minor leaks can cause significant damage over time. Small drips may lead to mold, rot, or costly utility bills if ignored. Professional repair ensures the issue is resolved properly, preventing escalation into larger and more expensive plumbing problems.
Can leak detection save money?
Absolutely. Early detection prevents water damage, reduces wasted water, and avoids expensive emergency repairs. By addressing issues promptly, property owners save on utility costs and protect their investments. Professional leak detection and repair are cost-effective strategies for maintaining efficient, reliable plumbing systems.
How often should plumbing be inspected for leaks?
Annual inspections are recommended to catch hidden issues before they become serious. Older properties or those with a history of leaks may require more frequent evaluations. Regular maintenance ensures plumbing systems remain in good condition and prevents costly surprises down the line.
Why choose professionals over DIY leak detection?
DIY methods often miss hidden leaks or fail to address root causes. Professionals have the training, experience, and technology to locate leaks accurately and repair them correctly. Hiring experts saves time, reduces risks, and ensures durable solutions that protect property value and safety.

Testimonials
Adam and his team are a fantastic. I have worked with them many times and they are the picture of professionalism. Their work is quality and clean and my other trades have even mentioned that their work is some of the better plumbing that they have seen.
CJ G.
Used Adam and his helper to repair a pinhole leak on a copper water pipe in my crawlspace. I could hear it from above. They efficently located the leak and determined about 3ft needed to be removed due to corrosion in a couple spots that would have lead to more pinholes. They used 2 propress adaptors and a stick of pex pipe to repair the leak. They were very professional and quick with their work. Fair pricing as well. Will be calling them if I have any plumbing issues in the future
