Stop Hidden Water Damage in Alameda — Licensed Leak Detection & Repair

Hidden water leaks in Alameda are costly because they travel silently through walls and slabs. We combine
technology and craftsmanship to locate the problem precisely and stop the damage before it spreads.

Older bungalows and mid‑century homes benefit from proactive valve and supply line upgrades.

Remodeled kitchens and baths deserve shut‑offs that actually shut off — we test every valve.

Five clues you may have a hidden leak:

1. Soft drywall, swollen baseboards, or warped flooring.

2. Unexplained spikes on your water bill despite normal use.

3. Hissing sounds behind walls or near fixtures when water is off.

4. Mildew odors or persistent humidity in specific rooms.

5. Water meter movement even when all fixtures are closed.

Why leaks happen:

- Over‑pressurized systems without a working PRV or expansion tank.

- Slab movement and soil conditions stressing buried pipes.

- Aging copper with pinhole corrosion from water chemistry.

- Worn angle stops, supply lines, and toilet fill valves.

How we find the exact source without guesswork:

- Thermal imaging to find temperature anomalies around hot‑water lines.

- Pressure testing of isolated branches to confirm breaks without demolition.

- Tracer gas for ultra‑small leaks where water noise is minimal.

- Borescope or camera inspection to distinguish supply leaks from drain issues.

Prevention plan for peace of mind:

- Replace old angle stops and braided supplies proactively.

- Install leak alarms under sinks, behind washers, and near water heaters.

- Schedule an annual whole‑home plumbing check to catch small issues early.

- Know where your main shut‑off is and make sure it turns easily.

Case snapshot (Alameda): A homeowner noticed a warm floor patch near the hallway. Thermal imaging confirmed a
hot‑side slab leak. We isolated the run, performed a clean access repair, and verified with a pressure hold —
all in one day.

Expect tidy work, labeled shut‑offs, and a walkthrough before we leave. If you’re seeing signs of a leak in
Alameda, acting early prevents bigger repairs later.
