Listening and pressure tests
Sound equipment and a pressure test on the suspect line help the plumber find the spot where water is escaping, which means no wall or floor gets cut open on a guess.
Leak Detection and Slab Leak Repair in Detroit
Water you cannot see can still cost you. If a bill climbs, a floor stays damp or you hear water running with every fixture off, we find where the leak is and repair or reroute that line.
Leak work covers homes in Detroit and the nearby cities we serve.
Finding and fixing leaks
Slab and floor leaks
When the leak is under a concrete floor, we locate it first so only the needed section is opened. After the repair, the floor can be patched.
Rerouting a failed line
A pipe that keeps leaking may be easier to run along a new path than to dig out. We explain both ways before you decide.
Service line leaks
A leak between the street connection and the house is a water service line problem, and in Detroit that work has its own permit and plumber requirements.
Signs worth a call
Look out for a wet area on a wall or floor, a mildew odor, a water bill that suddenly rises or running water you can hear with everything off. Any of these may mean a leak.
Water service lines in Detroit
If the leak turns out to be in the water service line, the line cannot be replaced without a permit from the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD). The city also wants a master plumber on the job, one on the City of Detroit’s register.
