Leak Detection in Lakewood: what is different here
Lakewood's mid-century homes near the American Lake shore and Springbrook can hide leaks in aging pipe under floors or in walls. Some sit on slabs, where a leak may show up as a warm spot underfoot. We drive about 15 minutes via SR 512 and I-5 and use thermal imaging to pinpoint it.
