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

In Brentwood, 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.

Hillside lots and longer plumbing runs can mask leaks until surfaces show damage.

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. Mildew odors or persistent humidity in specific rooms.

4. Efflorescence or damp lines on foundation walls.

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

Why leaks happen:

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

- Improperly crimped PEX fittings or degraded rubber washers.

- Aging copper with pinhole corrosion from water chemistry.

- Old galvanized piping rusting from the inside out.

How we find the exact source without guesswork:

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

- Acoustic listening to locate pressurized leaks behind walls and under slabs.

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

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

Prevention plan for peace of mind:

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

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

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

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