Leak or drip · San Diego
Leak detection & repair
We find the leak before we open the wall, so the repair is the leak, not the hole we made looking for it.
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.
