Water Leaks FAQs

Common questions about our Water Leaks services

How do I know if I have a water leak in my home?

The most obvious sign is an unexplained jump in your water bill – even a slow drip can waste hundreds of gallons per month. You might also notice water stains or discoloration on walls and ceilings, warm spots on your floors, the sound of running water when no fixtures are in use, or damp and musty odors. A simple test is checking your water meter when all water is turned off – if it’s still spinning, you’ve got a leak somewhere. Don’t ignore these signs hoping they’ll go away, because leaks only get worse and more expensive over time.

Will my homeowner's insurance cover water leak damage?

Most homeowner’s policies cover sudden, accidental water damage like burst pipes, but they won’t cover gradual damage from long-term leaks you ignored. The key difference is timing – report and fix leaks quickly, and you’re usually covered. Wait too long, and insurance companies call it “neglected maintenance” and deny your claim. The average water damage claim runs $13,954, but coverage varies wildly between companies. We help document leaks properly for insurance purposes and can explain what typically gets covered versus what leaves you paying out of pocket.

How much does water leak detection cost compared to ignoring the problem?

Professional leak detection costs a fraction of what you’ll pay if you wait. The average household wastes nearly 10,000 gallons yearly from undetected leaks, and water damage restoration runs anywhere from $1,342 to over $15,000 depending on how bad it gets. We’ve seen homeowners face $15,000+ bills for foundation work, mold cleanup, and flooring replacement from leaks that would have cost under $2,000 to fix immediately. Our upfront pricing means no surprise fees, and most customers find their final bill comes in lower than our original estimate.

Can you detect leaks without damaging my walls or floors?

Absolutely. Our thermal imaging cameras and ultrasonic equipment locate leaks behind walls, under slabs, and in hard-to-reach places without any destructive digging or cutting. We can see temperature changes caused by water leaks and hear the specific sounds of water escaping from pipes. This means we pinpoint your leak’s exact location and only open up what’s absolutely necessary for the repair. You save money on unnecessary restoration work, and your home stays intact during the process.

How quickly can you respond to a water leak emergency?

We provide 24/7 emergency service throughout El Dorado County, Placer County, and Sacramento County. For true emergencies like burst pipes or major leaks, we typically respond within hours, including weekends and holidays. Our same-day service means you don’t wait days or weeks while water actively damages your home. The faster we stop your leak, the less damage you’ll face and the more affordable your repair will be. When it comes to water leaks, time literally equals money draining away.

What makes slab leaks so common in our area?

Slab leaks plague our region because many homes were built on old farmland with acidic soil that corrodes copper pipes over time. Hot water pipes constantly heat up and cool down, creating condensation that combines with acidic soil to eat away at the copper. Ground settling and movement also stress pipes under your foundation. Since about 95.6% of California homes have slab foundations, this affects nearly everyone. The good news is we specialize in slab leak detection and can often repair them with minimal concrete removal using modern trenchless techniques.
