Leak Detection
Leak Detection in San Ramon & the Tri-Valley
A hidden leak doesn't always announce itself with a puddle. Sometimes it's a water bill that keeps climbing, a damp patch in the yard, or the sound of running water when every faucet in the house is off. We track down the source — behind walls, under slabs, or underground — so you're not guessing, and not paying to open up the wrong wall.
Once we've found the leak, we'll walk you through what's going on and what it'll take to fix it, whether that's a straightforward repair or a bigger conversation about aging pipe.

Common questions
How do you find a leak without tearing up my house?
We start with the water meter and pressure to confirm there's a leak, then narrow down the likely area using the signs you're seeing and the layout of your plumbing. The goal is to open up as little as possible — we'd rather spend time narrowing down the source than guessing and cutting into walls or slab.
What's a slab leak?
It's a leak in a water line that runs under your home's concrete foundation. They're common in older homes and can be harder to spot early since there's no visible pipe to check — often the first sign is a warm spot on the floor or a rising water bill.
My water bill went up but I can't find a leak. Should I still call?
Yes. A climbing bill with no change in usage is one of the most reliable signs of a hidden leak, even before you can see or hear anything. It's worth a look before it gets worse or causes damage.
Do you also fix the leak once you find it?
Yes — once we've located the source, we'll give you a clear estimate for the repair so you can decide how you want to move forward.
Is a leak the same as low water pressure?
Not always, but they're often related. A hidden leak can cause a sudden pressure drop because water is escaping before it reaches your fixtures. We check both when we come out.
