Professional Leak Detection for Benicia Homes & HOAs — Clean, Precise, Code‑Compliant

In Benicia, small leaks rarely stay small. A pinhole in a copper line can soak drywall, warp flooring, and
invite mold long before a puddle appears. Our licensed team uses non‑invasive diagnostics to find the source
quickly and repair it cleanly.

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

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

Five clues you may have a hidden leak:

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

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

3. Warm spots on floors or damp carpet over slab areas.

4. Efflorescence or damp lines on foundation walls.

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

Why leaks happen:

- Improperly crimped PEX fittings or degraded rubber washers.

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

- Old galvanized piping rusting from the inside out.

- Slab movement and soil conditions stressing buried pipes.

Our step‑by‑step approach:

Step 1: Confirm with pressure testing or tracer gas for small, silent leaks.

Step 2: Restore finishes neatly and verify with a final pressure test.

Step 3: Acoustic listen and thermal scan to triangulate the leak position.

Step 4: Open a small access point and make a clean, permanent repair.

Step 5: Isolate lines to narrow the suspect branch without opening walls.

Prevention plan for peace of mind:

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

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

- Replace old angle stops and braided supplies proactively.

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

Case snapshot (Benicia): 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 —
