Stop Hidden Water Damage in Redwood City — Licensed Leak Detection & Repair

In Redwood City, 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.

Townhomes and condos with shared walls need clean, low‑impact detection techniques.

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

Watch for these warning signs:

- Unexplained spikes on your water bill despite normal use.

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

- Stains on ceilings or bubbling paint along walls.

- Water meter movement even when all fixtures are closed.

- Efflorescence or damp lines on foundation walls.

Why leaks happen:

- Improperly crimped PEX fittings or degraded rubber washers.

- Slab movement and soil conditions stressing buried pipes.

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

- Old galvanized piping rusting from the inside out.

Our step‑by‑step approach:

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

Step 2: Isolate lines to narrow the suspect branch without opening walls.

Step 3: Confirm with pressure testing or tracer gas for small, silent leaks.

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.

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