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

In Burlingame, 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.

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

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

Watch for these warning signs:

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

- Unexplained spikes on your water bill despite normal use.

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

- Water meter movement even when all fixtures are closed.

- Mildew odors or persistent humidity in specific rooms.

Why leaks happen:

- Old galvanized piping rusting from the inside out.

- Improperly crimped PEX fittings or degraded rubber washers.

- Aging copper with pinhole corrosion from water chemistry.

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

How we find the exact source without guesswork:

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

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

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

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

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).

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

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

Case snapshot (Burlingame): 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
Burlingame, acting early prevents bigger repairs later.
