    Common questions

    Shut off the main water valve right away, then call. Stopping the water first limits the damage more than anything else you can do. If you cannot find the valve, call first and say so.

    By following the signs: damp spots, warm floor areas, the sound of running water when nothing is on, and a water meter that moves when no water is being used. Listening equipment narrows it down before any wall or floor is opened.

    It depends on the damage. A pipe that froze but did not split may only need thawing and checking. A pipe that split must have the burst section cut out and replaced. The inspection shows which one it is.

    A leak in a pipe under a concrete slab floor. The signs are warm spots on the floor, damp carpet edges, or running water sounds with everything off. Slab leaks sit under the leak detection service because finding them takes locating work first.
