Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions during a plumbing emergency.

Q

What are the signs of a hidden leak?

A

Musty odors, wall/ceiling stains, hot spots on floors, running meter with fixtures off, or sudden water bill spikes.

Q

Can you locate leaks without opening walls?

A

Yes. We use acoustic listening, thermal imaging, moisture meters, and pressure testing to pinpoint the source first.

Q

Do you repair slab leaks?

A

Yes. We can perform direct slab repairs or reroute lines when direct access is impractical.

Q

Will you patch openings you make?

A

We keep openings minimal. We can coordinate patch/paint on request or refer a finish specialist.

Q

How long does leak detection take?

A

Most detections take 60–120 minutes depending on access, construction, and number of suspected areas.

Q

What if the leak is intermittent?

A

We use pressure/flow monitoring and scheduled tests to capture intermittent issues when active.

Q

Do you use thermal imaging?

A

Yes. Thermal cameras help identify temperature anomalies that indicate leaks, especially hot‑side lines.

Q

Will insurance cover this?

A

Coverage varies by policy. We provide photos and documentation to assist your claim.

Q

Can you coordinate with mitigation?

A

Yes. We coordinate with water mitigation partners when drying or demo is needed.

Q

Do you warranty leak repairs?

A

Yes. Repairs are workmanship‑backed. Warranty terms depend on materials and scope.

Q

How can I prevent future leaks?

A

Maintain pressure (PRV), replace aging supplies/angle stops, insulate lines, and flush heaters to reduce corrosion.

Q

What forms of payment do you accept?

Major credit/debit cards and cash. Partner accounts available; membership discounts may apply.
