What we do

Leak detection & repair in Greater Pittsburgh

A water bill that crept up. A warm spot on the floor. That faint mildew smell. After 47 years we know where leaks hide — and how to find them with thermal and acoustic gear instead of a sledgehammer. We open one small access point, fix it, and seal it back up.

FAQ

Questions about leak detection & repair.

Don't see yours? Give us a call.

What if you can't find it?

The diagnostic visit is free, and if we can't locate the leak you don't pay. We bill when there's a fix.

Will you cut up my walls?

Only at the located point. Thermal and acoustic tools come first — most jobs need one small access cut.

Can you fix it same visit?

Most accessible leaks, yes. Slab and bigger jobs get a written quote on visit one and a scheduled return.
