FAQs
How can I tell if I have a hidden plumbing leak in my Grandview home?
Common warning signs include unusually high water bills, the sound of running water when no fixtures are on, damp or warm spots on floors or walls, mold or mildew odors, and unexplained foundation cracks. If you notice any of these, it’s best to call a professional leak detection specialist right away to prevent structural damage and excessive water waste.
What leak detection methods do you use?
Our licensed technicians employ non-invasive technologies such as electronic acoustic listening devices, infrared thermal imaging cameras, and pressure testing equipment. These tools allow us to pinpoint leaks behind walls, under slabs, or in underground lines without unnecessary demolition, ensuring faster, more accurate repairs.
Will leak detection damage my walls or floors?
In most cases, no. Modern leak detection equipment lets us identify the source with minimal or zero disruption. We only open small access points—if any—where the problem is located, sparing you from large-scale tear-outs and costly restoration work.
How much does professional leak detection cost in Grandview?
Pricing varies based on factors such as the location of the suspected leak, the plumbing material involved, and the time of day (standard or emergency service). Typical residential leak detection in Grandview ranges from $175 to $450. We provide upfront, flat-rate pricing after a brief assessment, so you always know the cost before work begins.
Do you offer emergency leak detection and repair services?
Yes. Our Grandview team is on call 24/7 for emergency situations like burst pipes or slab leaks. We arrive quickly with fully stocked service vehicles, locate the leak, and perform immediate repairs or temporary shut-offs to protect your property until a permanent fix can be completed.
What should I do while waiting for a technician if I suspect a leak?
First, turn off the main water supply valve to stop additional water loss. Next, shut off electricity in any affected areas if water is near outlets or appliances. Remove valuable items from damp areas and place towels or buckets to catch dripping water. Finally, avoid using plumbing fixtures until the leak is located and repaired by a professional.
