Leak Detection in Puyallup: what is different here

Puyallup homes near downtown are older, and homes on North Hill are newer, but both can hide leaks in walls or under floors. In winter, a cold snap can split crawlspace pipe in the older valley homes. We come about 10 minutes east on SR 512 and find leaks with thermal imaging.

How the job runs

  1. Confirm the leak

    With everything off, we check the meter to confirm water is escaping.

    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.
