Water Leak Repair
A leak that's found early is a far smaller job than one that's had weeks to spread through drywall or flooring.
When this becomes an emergency
- A water bill that's climbed with no new fixtures or usage to explain it
- A damp or discolored patch on a wall or ceiling, or a soft spot on the floor
- A musty smell in one part of the house that wasn't there before
- A hissing or dripping sound behind a wall or under a sink
What a pro does
Finding a water leak usually takes more than looking at the spot where the damage shows up. Water travels along framing and flooring before it ever surfaces somewhere visible, so a plumber checks the water meter first to confirm a leak actually exists. Pressure testing and moisture readings narrow down the location before any wall gets opened. Fixtures, supply lines, and the pipe itself all get checked in turn, since the visible damage doesn't always sit directly above or below the actual source. Catching it early usually means a contained repair instead of a wall or floor that has to be opened up along with the pipe.
