The expensive part of a leak usually isn't the repair. It's the drywall, flooring, and drying equipment after water has been running somewhere you couldn't see it.
We locate leaks in supply lines, inside walls, under slabs, and in the yard, and we find the spot before anyone starts cutting. Then you get a price to fix it before the work begins.
Signs you have a hidden leak
- Your water bill jumped with no change in how you use water
- You hear running water when every fixture is off
- A warm spot on the floor — usually a hot-water slab leak
- Staining, bubbling paint, or soft drywall
- A patch of lawn that's green and soggy while everything around it is dry
- Musty smell in a room that shouldn't have one
What to do before we get there
If water is actively running and you can't stop it at the fixture, shut off the main. In most metro houses it's in the basement near the front wall where the line enters, in a crawl space, or in a utility closet. Turn it clockwise until it stops.
Then open the lowest faucet in the house to drain the pressure out of the lines. Every minute of running water is more damage and a bigger restoration bill.
Slab leaks
A leak under a concrete slab is the one homeowners dread, and mostly because of what they imagine the repair looks like. Depending on where it is and what the line is made of, the fix may be a spot repair through a small opening, or rerouting the line overhead so nobody touches the slab at all.
Either way, the first job is pinpointing it. Guessing and opening concrete in the wrong place is how a manageable repair turns into a large one.
What we find and fix
- Supply line leaks, copper and PEX
- In-wall and under-floor leaks
- Slab leaks
- Water service line leaks between the meter and the house
- Failed shutoff valves and hose bibs
- Toilet and fixture leaks that don't show at the surface
- Pinhole leaks in older galvanized and copper lines
Older metro homes
Houses built here in the 1960s and 70s often still have some original galvanized supply piping. Galvanized corrodes from the inside, which means it fails as pinhole leaks that appear one after another in different spots. If you've patched two or three already, the question isn't how to fix this one — it's whether repiping that section makes more sense than another round of patches.

“Gabe came recommended by my realtor, and his service was excellent as promised. He was responsive, prompt, and did a great job identifying and fixing my plumbing issue. Furthermore, he identified a different plumbing issue in my crawlspace of which I was unaware, spent a significant amount of time investigating the root cause of the problem, and helped me address it.”
