Quick Answers: Common Leak Questions
Leaks can come from supply lines, drain lines, fixtures, water heaters, or the main water service line. These quick answers help you decide what to do next.
How do I tell if a leak is behind a wall?
Look for water stains, bubbling paint, warped flooring, musty odor, or a persistent wet spot. A sudden increase in your water bill can also signal a hidden leak.
What if the leak is under the sink or toilet?
Shut off the local valve if you can. Many leaks come from supply lines, shut off valves, wax rings, or drain connections. We repair leaks and replace worn parts.
Could it be a water line leak in the yard?
Wet spots in the yard, low pressure, discolored water, or a higher water bill can indicate a water service line leak. We diagnose and repair water line issues.
