Leak detection in Concord
& the Bay Area.

FAQ

Common questions

What homeowners ask before calling us.

01How much does leak detection cost in Concord?

Leak detection typically runs $150–$350 depending on complexity and method. If the leak requires acoustic listening, pressure testing, or thermal imaging, we explain what we're using and why before we start. You get a clear price upfront — no surprises. Call (925) 288-0409 for specifics.

02How do I know if I have a slab leak?

Common signs include warm spots on your floor, the sound of running water when everything is off, unexplained spikes in your water bill, or wet areas along the base of walls. Your water meter spinning with all fixtures closed is also a strong indicator. If you notice any of these, call us before the damage compounds.

03Will you need to cut into my walls or floor?

Not to find the leak. We use acoustic listening equipment and pressure testing to locate it first. If a repair requires opening a wall or floor, we'll tell you exactly where and how much — before any demolition happens. Our goal is to minimize disruption while solving the problem permanently.

04How long does leak detection take?

Most leak detection calls take 1–2 hours. Slab leaks and underground supply line leaks can take longer depending on system complexity and pipe access. We give you a realistic estimate on arrival so you know what to plan for.

05Can a small leak really cause that much damage?

Yes — and faster than most homeowners expect. A slow slab leak can erode the foundation over months. An in-wall leak creates mold within 24–48 hours. Even a small underground leak wastes thousands of gallons and drives up your bill. Early detection is almost always far cheaper than deferred detection.

06Do you fix the leak or just find it?

Both. We locate the leak precisely and then handle the repair. You won't need to call a second contractor. If the repair scope is significant — like a slab penetration — we explain what's involved and give you options before proceeding.

07What should I do if I suspect a water leak right now?

Turn off your main water shutoff if you believe there's active water damage occurring, then call us at (925) 288-0409. Do not run water until we've assessed the situation. If you can check your water meter — shut off all fixtures and see if the meter dial is still moving — that's a useful data point to share with us.
