Visible dripping or pooling
Water around a fixture, valve, pipe, or appliance connection should be addressed before it spreads into nearby materials.

Plumbing Leak Repair
Whether the leak is obvious or you are following the signs, the goal is the same: find the source, stop the water, and repair the cause instead of covering the symptom.

Water actively spreading?
Turn off the nearest fixture valve or the main water supply if you can reach it safely. Move valuables away from the water, then call and tell us where the leak is showing.
Accurate Leak Diagnosis
Repair the source of the leak
Leaks can appear at a faucet, toilet, shutoff valve, exposed pipe, wall, or ceiling. Where the water shows up is not always where the problem began, so the source needs to be assessed before the repair is chosen.
We explain what we found and whether a focused repair or replacement makes better sense. You get the options and price before approved work begins.

Common signs of a plumbing leak
Some leaks are easy to see. Others first appear as a stain, moisture, or a fixture that never fully stops running.
Stains or moisture
A new ceiling stain, damp wall, or moisture under a cabinet can be a sign that water is traveling from a nearby plumbing line or fixture.
A fixture keeps running
A faucet that drips or a toilet that keeps running wastes water and may point to a worn part that needs repair or replacement.
