Leak Detection Methods & Prevention Tips for Antioch

Hidden water leaks in Antioch 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. Warm spots on floors or damp carpet over slab areas.

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

3. Efflorescence or damp lines on foundation walls.

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

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

Why leaks happen:

- Slab movement and soil conditions stressing buried pipes.

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

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

- Improperly crimped PEX fittings or degraded rubber washers.

Our step‑by‑step approach:

Step 1: Restore finishes neatly and verify with a final pressure test.

Step 2: Confirm with pressure testing or tracer gas for small, silent leaks.

Step 3: Isolate lines to narrow the suspect branch without opening walls.

Step 4: Acoustic listen and thermal scan to triangulate the leak position.

Step 5: Open a small access point and make a clean, permanent repair.

Prevention plan for peace of mind:

- Replace old angle stops and braided supplies proactively.

- Keep water pressure in spec with a functional pressure‑reducing valve (PRV).

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

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