Does this sound familiar?

You may have a hidden leak if you've noticed…

Most hidden leaks don't announce themselves with a puddle. They show up as small, easy-to-dismiss signals first.

1

An unexplained jump in your water billNothing in your routine changed, but the bill did.

2

Your water meter is still spinningEvery fixture is off, yet the meter keeps moving.

3

The sound of running water behind a wallA faint hiss or trickle with no visible source.

4

A warm spot on the floorOften a sign of a hot water slab leak underneath.

5

Low or dropping water pressureA sudden change that wasn't there last month.

6

Damp carpet, bubbling floors, or musty smellMoisture is finding its way somewhere it shouldn't.

Lance was incredibly professional and honest. He came out same day, diagnosed our slab leak quickly with his equipment, and gave us a very fair price. He's now our go-to plumber for everything.

Best plumber I've ever used. Installed a tankless water heater for us — clean work, no mess left behind, and at a price that was way better than the other quotes. Will be using Lance for all future plumbing needs.

Common questions

What homeowners ask before calling

Watch for a rising water bill with no change in usage, a water meter that keeps moving with everything off, warm spots on the floor, or the sound of running water when no fixtures are on. Any one of these is worth a professional diagnostic.

In most cases, yes. Acoustic, electronic, and thermal detection let us narrow the leak to a small, specific area before any concrete or drywall is opened — which is the entire point of diagnosing before repairing.

Most residential leak detection visits take one to a few hours depending on the size of the home, the type of leak, and how accessible the plumbing is. We'll give you a time estimate up front.

It depends entirely on your specific policy. We can't make coverage promises, but we can provide clear diagnostic findings and documentation to bring to your insurance company. See our Insurance Resource Center for more.

A spot repair fixes a single, accessible leak. A reroute avoids a problem section of pipe entirely. Whole-house repiping replaces the system when age or repeat failures make that the smarter long-term option. We'll walk you through which fits your situation after diagnosis — never before.
