A leaking supply line, drain pipe, or concealed plumbing connection can release water behind walls, under flooring, or inside cabinets. Finding the leak early helps limit the spread of water damage.
What the Job Involves
The technician identifies the suspected leak area and checks surrounding walls, floors, cabinets, and other materials for moisture. Water is removed from affected areas, followed by drying and damage assessment.
Signs You Need It
- Unexplained water stains
- Damp walls or flooring
- Musty odors
- Unexpected increase in water usage
- Bubbling or peeling paint
- Repeated moisture in one area
How the Work Goes
The suspected pipe leak is identified and stopped first. Moisture meters and other diagnostic equipment may be used to locate affected areas. Water is extracted when necessary, then air movers and dehumidifiers are used to dry materials that can be saved.
What Affects the Cost
Cost depends on the leak location, accessibility, amount of water released, affected square footage, pipe location, and condition of materials such as drywall, flooring, insulation, or cabinetry.
