Kentfield sits where the wooded slopes of Mt. Tamalpais drop into the Ross Valley floor, and that mix of terrain is hard on water lines. Hillside homes in Kent Woodlands fight shifting soil and decades-old copper, while the older flats near the College of Marin and Corte Madera Creek deal with high water tables and aging under-slab plumbing. John Owens Services uses electronic and acoustic leak detection to pinpoint the exact spot — no guesswork, no tearing up half a wall or a foundation to find it.

Why Kentfield Homeowners Choose John Owens

  • Local since 1986 — we know Kentfield's split of 1920s-onward Kent Woodlands estates and the older valley-floor homes near College of Marin, and how each tends to fail
  • Non-invasive pinpointing: acoustic listening, thermal, and pressure testing locate the leak before any concrete, hardwood, or hillside landscaping is disturbed
  • Same-day service so a hidden leak under a slab or in a hillside supply line doesn't run for days while you wait
  • Slab leak experience that matters on the valley floor, where high water tables near Corte Madera Creek hide and worsen under-foundation leaks
  • Licensed (CA #501853), insured, and family-run — the same crew that finds the leak repairs it and stands behind the work
  • Backed by a 4.9-star Google rating and happy customers from Marin homeowners who needed it found right the first time

Signs You Need Plumbing in Kentfield

  • Your water bill jumped with no change in usage — a classic sign of a hidden or slab leak
  • Warm spots on the floor, the sound of running water with everything off, or a water heater that never seems to rest
  • Unexplained damp patches, mildew smell, or cracking in slab-on-grade rooms common in Kentfield's flat-lot homes
  • Low water pressure or a meter dial that keeps spinning after you've shut every fixture
  • Soggy ground, mossy patches, or foundation movement on a Kent Woodlands hillside lot where a buried supply line may be leaking

Frequently Asked Questions

How does leak detection in Kentfield work without tearing up my home?

We use electronic acoustic equipment, pressure testing, and thermal imaging to pinpoint the leak to within inches before any digging or cutting. That precision matters on older Kentfield homes and hillside Kent Woodlands lots, where exploratory demolition gets expensive fast.

Can you handle slab leak detection on a Kentfield home built on the valley floor?

Yes. Slab leak detection is a core specialty, and it's especially common in the flatter Kentfield and Greenbrae neighborhoods near Corte Madera Creek where homes sit on slab-on-grade foundations. We're licensed (CA #501853) and locate the leak under the concrete without breaking the whole floor.

Do you offer same-day water leak detection in Kentfield?

We do — a hidden water leak only gets more damaging the longer it runs, so we offer same-day service throughout Kentfield and the Ross Valley to find and stop it quickly.

My water bill spiked but I don't see any water — is that a leak?

Very likely. An unexplained bill jump usually means a hidden supply-line or slab leak, and our detection equipment can confirm it and find the exact source, often the same day you call.
