Leak detection in Santa Rosa for water lines, gas lines and slabs, served from our Santa Rosa office. Call to schedule.
A leak can run for weeks in Santa Rosa before anyone notices. It might be a water line under the yard, a pipe inside a wall or a supply line under a slab, and the first clue is often a number on your water bill. By the time a stain appears, water has usually been escaping for a while, which is why a quick, accurate answer matters.
Our Santa Rosa office handles leak detection across town. We start with simple checks, like watching the meter with everything off, then bring in acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and video leak detection to find the exact location. If you smell gas, we also test gas lines once the area is safe.
Knowing the location changes the whole job, because the repair can focus on that spot. We explain what we found, and if you want us to do the work, we are a licensed and insured California contractor, license #501853. Our Plumbing Repair page covers the next step.
Confirm the leak, locate it, explain it, then repair it. Each step comes in that order so you are never asked to approve work on a guess.
We begin by confirming a leak with a meter check, then trace the line using pipe location and acoustic listening equipment. Tracer gas or video can narrow things down further. The goal is to name one specific point on the line, so any digging is limited to that spot.
Yes. If you smell gas, leave the home right away, avoid sparks or flames, and call your gas utility. After the area is safe, we can inspect your gas piping and find the leak. Gas leak sensors can also be installed for earlier warning.
They include confirming that a leak exists, finding where it is, and explaining what is causing it. We detect leaks in water lines, gas lines, slabs, radiant heating and AC systems. You also get repair options, from a small fix to a larger plumbing job, so you can decide what comes next.
Turn off every fixture and watch your water meter. If it keeps moving, water is going somewhere. Other signs include warm floor spots, stains that grow, a musty smell and the sound of running water in a wall. Any of these is a good reason to call us.
Yes. Because we handle plumbing as well as detection, we can repair many leaks ourselves, and we will explain the options first. Seniors and veterans save $50 on any repair. Financing is available for larger jobs, and we recommend replacement only when repair will not hold up.
