Leak Detection in Lacey: what is different here

In Lacey, seventies-era homes in Tanglewilde differ from newer Hawks Prairie builds, so leak sources differ too: older pipe in one, fittings and appliance lines in the other. We take I-5 south, about 40 minutes, and use thermal imaging and other non-invasive leak detection.

How the job runs

  1. Confirm the leak

    With everything off, we check the meter to confirm water is escaping.
  2. Scan without damage

    Thermal imaging and other non-invasive methods trace the leak through walls, floors or slabs.
  3. Show you the source

    We mark the spot, explain what we found and give you an upfront, flat-rate price for the repair.
  4. Repair or reroute

    We fix the leak through the smallest opening we can, or reroute the line.
