Leak problems: what's wrong with my house?
How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?
Turn off every fixture and check the meter. If it still moves, water is escaping somewhere. Stains, musty smells and a rising water bill are other common signs. Read the hidden leak guide.
What are the signs of a slab leak?
Warm spots on the floor, the sound of running water when everything is off, cracked or lifted tile, and a climbing water bill. Read the slab leak signs guide.
Could my toilet be causing my high bill?
A worn flapper is the single biggest hidden water waster. Do the dye test in the tank. Read the toilet leak guide.

DIY guides: what can I check myself?
How do I check my water meter for a leak?
Turn off everything, open the meter box at the curb, and watch the dial or low-flow indicator. Movement means a leak; shutting the main house valve then tells you inside vs outside. Read the meter test guide.
Does homeowners insurance cover leak detection?
Sudden, accidental water damage is often covered; the pipe repair itself often isn't. Document everything with photos within a day or two. Read the insurance guide.

About the work
Will you have to open my walls?
Usually only at the confirmed leak point. Non-invasive tools let us pinpoint the location first, which keeps access holes small.
Do you work with property managers?
Yes. We provide written findings and photos suited to maintenance records. See the property manager page.
