FAQs
How can I tell if I have a hidden water leak in my Morristown home?
Common warning signs include unusually high water bills, the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, damp or warm spots on floors, moldy odors, and reduced water pressure. If you notice any of these, it’s wise to call a professional leak detection service promptly—undetected leaks can cause structural damage and encourage mold growth.
What non-invasive methods do you use to locate leaks?
Our Morristown technicians rely on advanced tools that pinpoint leaks without tearing up your property. We use acoustic listening devices to hear water escaping under slabs, infrared thermal imaging to spot temperature changes behind walls, and electronic line tracing to map out pipe routes. These technologies allow us to diagnose the exact location of a leak quickly and accurately, minimizing disruption and repair costs.
How fast can you respond to an emergency leak in Morristown?
We offer 24/7 emergency service throughout Morristown and surrounding Morris County communities. In most cases, a licensed plumber can arrive at your door within 60–90 minutes. Our trucks are fully stocked, so we can begin leak isolation and repair immediately to limit water damage and restore your plumbing system.
Will leak detection damage my walls or floors?
Rarely. Because we rely on acoustic, thermal, and tracer-gas equipment, we usually find leaks without opening walls or digging. If we do need access for repair, we target a small, precise area—avoiding the widespread demolition that older detection methods required. This saves you time, mess, and restoration costs.
How much does professional leak detection cost in Morristown?
Prices vary with the location and complexity of the leak, but most residential leak detection visits in Morristown range from $250–$450. This includes a full inspection, pinpoint location, and a detailed repair estimate. We provide upfront, flat-rate pricing with no hidden fees, and we’ll credit a portion of the detection fee toward the repair if you choose us to fix the leak.
What should I do while waiting for the plumber if I suspect a leak?
1) Shut off the main water valve—usually located near your water meter or where the main line enters your home. 2) Turn off your water heater to prevent overheating or damage. 3) Move valuables away from damp areas and set out towels or buckets to contain water. 4) Avoid using electrical outlets or appliances near wet spots. 5) Call our 24/7 hotline with any updates so our team arrives prepared. Taking these steps can significantly reduce water damage and repair costs.
