The Process of Leak Detection Services

Finding a leak in an older San Francisco home requires a methodical approach that respects the property's unique construction. We use a step-by-step diagnostic process to find the source without the guesswork.

  • Initial Thorough Inspection – A skilled technician arrives promptly to assess your plumbing system and listen to your specific concerns about moisture or noise.
  • Acoustic and Thermal Mapping – We use specialized equipment to "hear" water escaping through pipes and thermal cameras to see moisture hidden behind walls.
  • Video Camera Pipe Inspections – For deeper issues, we utilize high-definition cameras to inspect the interior of your lines and identify cracks or root intrusions.
  • Clear Explanation and Quoting – Once the problem is found, we explain the issue clearly and provide a fair quote before any repair work begins.

By utilizing these modern tools, we can pinpoint the exact location of a leak, saving you time and reducing the overall cost of the repair.

Other common signs include musty smells, localized mold growth, or soft spots on your hardwood or drywall.
