How to Spot & Stop Water Leaks in Pittsburg Homes
Hidden water leaks in Pittsburg 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.
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.
Watch for these warning signs:
- Unexplained spikes on your water bill despite normal use.
- Mildew odors or persistent humidity in specific rooms.
- Hissing sounds behind walls or near fixtures when water is off.
- Soft drywall, swollen baseboards, or warped flooring.
- Efflorescence or damp lines on foundation walls.
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.
- Worn angle stops, supply lines, and toilet fill valves.
How we find the exact source without guesswork:
- Borescope or camera inspection to distinguish supply leaks from drain issues.
- Pressure testing of isolated branches to confirm breaks without demolition.
- Tracer gas for ultra‑small leaks where water noise is minimal.
- Acoustic listening to locate pressurized leaks behind walls and under slabs.
Prevention plan for peace of mind:
- Know where your main shut‑off is and make sure it turns easily.
- Keep water pressure in spec with a functional pressure‑reducing valve (PRV).
- Install leak alarms under sinks, behind washers, and near water heaters.
- Schedule an annual whole‑home plumbing check to catch small issues early.
Recent job in Pittsburg: Repeated meter movement with fixtures off pointed to a pinhole behind the laundry. A
small access panel let us repair the copper and install new shut‑offs, saving the client from tearing out a
full wall.
Expect tidy work, labeled shut‑offs, and a walkthrough before we leave. If you’re seeing signs of a leak in
Pittsburg, acting early prevents bigger repairs later.
