Leak Detection FAQs
Can increased water use indicate a leak?
Yes. An unexplained increase can be a sign of water loss, although seasonal use and fixture changes should also be considered.

Finding the Source Before Opening a Wall
Water follows framing, pipes and gravity, so the visible stain is not always directly below the leak. Diagnosis begins with the timing of the moisture, nearby fixtures, meter behavior, pressure changes and accessible plumbing. Those clues help distinguish a pressurized supply leak from a drain, fixture, appliance, roof or HVAC condensate problem.
Signs That Should Not Wait
Prompt evaluation is warranted when the water meter moves with every fixture off, flooring becomes soft, a ceiling bulges, pressure suddenly drops or active water is near electrical equipment. Shut off the affected fixture or the home’s main water supply when necessary and safe. For a suspected gas leak, leave the area and contact the gas utility or emergency services.
What Happens After Detection
Once the likely source is isolated, we explain the access and repair options. A fixture connection or exposed valve may allow a direct repair. Concealed piping can require targeted access; a failing drain or sewer line may need a different inspection and repair plan. The purpose of detection is to reduce guesswork and avoid unnecessary demolition.
