Frequently Asked Questions

How do you detect a hidden leak?

I use non-invasive, proven equipment to find hidden leaks. This includes highly sensitive acoustic listening devices that allow me to 'hear' the sound of water escaping from a pipe under concrete or behind walls. I also utilize thermal imaging cameras to spot temperature differences caused by moisture, and sometimes tracing gases to pinpoint the exact location of the leak without unnecessary damage.

Can you detect leaks without breaking walls?

Yes, absolutely. My goal is always to find the leak with zero destruction. By using the electronic acoustic equipment and thermal imaging technology I mentioned, I can accurately locate the source of the leak through drywall, flooring, and even solid concrete slabs. We only open up the wall or floor once we know precisely where the repair needs to be made.

What causes slab leaks?

In West Covina, the most common causes of slab leaks are the combination of aging copper pipes and our local hard water, which slowly corrodes the metal from the inside out. Other factors include poor installation, shifting soil beneath the foundation (which puts stress on the pipes), and thermal expansion where the hot water pipes expand and rub against the concrete over years.

How do I know if I have a slab leak?

Common signs include an unexplained, sudden increase in your water bill, hearing the sound of running water when all fixtures are turned off, finding unexpected warm or damp spots on your flooring, noticing a drop in water pressure, or seeing new cracks in your walls or foundation. If you suspect any of these, it’s crucial to get it checked immediately.
