Frequently Asked Questions
Signs include soggy spots in your yard, unexplained water pooling, sudden drop in water pressure, or unusually high water bills. We use specialized equipment like acoustic detectors and infrared cameras to locate underground leaks without unnecessary digging.
Absolutely. Small leaks often indicate weak spots that can rupture completely under pressure changes, temperature fluctuations, or continued corrosion. A dripping pipe today could become a flood tomorrow—always address leaks promptly.
Most homeowners insurance covers sudden, accidental pipe bursts (like from freezing). However, damage from long-term leaks or lack of maintenance may not be covered. We provide detailed documentation to support your insurance claim.
Most standard repairs take 2-4 hours. Complex cases (like slab leaks or whole-home repiping) may require 1-2 days. Emergency stops to prevent flooding are typically completed within an hour of arrival.
