Leak Detection & Repair

A small hidden leak can quietly cause thousands of dollars in damage. We track down the source and fix it properly — not just patch the symptom.

  • 5.0 Google rating
  • Serving San Luis Obispo County

Leaks show up in a lot of ways: a water bill that jumped for no reason, a warm spot on the floor, a musty smell under a cabinet, a stain on the ceiling, or the sound of water running when everything is off. We isolate the system, test pressure, and open only what we need to in order to find the actual source.

Once we find it, you get a clear explanation of what failed and why, along with options — a targeted repair when that's the right call, or a section replacement when the pipe is at the end of its life. We also repair the water damage risk points: corroded angle stops, failed supply lines, and worn hose bibs.

  • Pressure testing and leak isolation
  • Under-sink, wall, ceiling, and crawlspace leak repairs

Frequently asked questions

Can you find a leak without tearing up my house?
Yes. We isolate the system section by section first, so any opening we make is small and targeted rather than exploratory demolition.
Do you install automatic shut-off systems?
We do. Smart monitors like the Moen Flo watch your water use and shut the main off automatically when they detect a leak — great for vacation homes and rentals.
