Leak Detection in University Place: what is different here
In University Place homes on slopes, water from a hidden leak can travel downhill before it shows, so the wet spot is not always where the pipe broke. That makes guessing costly. We reach Day Island, Westwood and the rest of University Place in about 25 minutes, and trace leaks with thermal imaging.
