Leaks and drips

We find the leak before we open the wall, so the repair is the leak, not the hole we made looking for it.

Typical range: ≈ $?(our published ranges aren't live yet)

Diagnosis first

What we check before we quote you.

  • The fixture itself first: cartridge, washer, O-rings, supply connections
  • The angle stops, which fail almost as often as the fixture they feed
  • For a hidden leak: a moisture meter to locate it before anything is opened
  • Whether the water meter creeps with every fixture closed, which proves a hidden leak
  • The substrate behind a long-running leak, so you know the real repair scope

A visible drip at a fixture is usually a quick, cheap part. A stain on a ceiling is not the same job at all, and we won't pretend it is. We locate it with a meter first so we open the smallest hole possible.
