Leak Detection in Gig Harbor: what is different here
Many Gig Harbor homes outside city limits, around Purdy and Rosedale, run on private wells with no utility bill to flag a leak. A well pump that cycles often or a damp floor may be the first sign. We cross the Narrows on SR 16, about 30 minutes, and find leaks with thermal imaging.
