Planning kitchen/bathroom remodel? Do this FIRST.

Leak inspection before demolition.

Why:

Spending $15K-$50K on remodel. Hidden leak behind walls/under floor? Need to know NOW.

If you don't:
- Contractor finds wet framing
- Project stops for leak diagnosis
- Timeline +2-4 weeks
- Costs +$2K-$8K unexpected
- Contractor guessing (not leak specialist)

Smart remodelers call BEFORE demo. We scan with thermal. Leak found = fix as part of plan, not expensive surprise.

Remodeling summer? Inspection first.

Know how to read your water meter? Most LA homeowners don't.

Here's the leak test anyone can do:

1. Turn off ALL water (inside and out)
2. Find your meter (usually front yard near street)
3. Locate the small triangle or star (leak indicator)
4. Watch it for 5 minutes

Triangle/star moving = you have a leak RIGHT NOW.

Even if it spins slowly, water is escaping somewhere. Could be toilet flapper, underground line, or hidden slab leak.

Most people ignore this until the bill arrives. By then, you've wasted hundreds of gallons.

Do the test today. Takes 5 minutes. Could save you thousands.

Still spinning? Call us.

Three leak types in LA homes:
1. SLAB (Under Foundation) - EXTREME danger. Foundation, mold.
Detection: Acoustic + thermal.

2. WALL (Behind Drywall) - HIGH danger. Mold, frame damage.
Detection: Thermal + moisture.

3. UNDERGROUND (Yard to House) - MODERATE-HIGH. Soil erosion, landscape damage.
Detection: Pressure + acoustic.

Each needs different tech, causes different damage, costs different to repair.

Early detection saves thousands, prevents catastrophic damage.

We handle all three.

Foundation damage happens in stages. Each costs more.

Slab leak timeline:
🗓️Month 1: Leak starts, 5-10 gal/day. Higher bill.
🗓️Month 3: Soil saturated, cracks appear.
🗓️Month 6: Doors shift, floors slope.
🗓️Month 12: Major damage, value drops.
🗓️Month 18-24: $20K-$40K repair. Insurance might deny.

We find foundation leaks BEFORE damage. Thermal imaging, acoustic equipment.

Pool losing water? Bill through the roof? Evaporation or leak?

LA pools lose 1/4 inch daily (evaporation). More than that = leak.

Bucket test: Fill 3/4, place on steps, mark both lines, wait 24 hrs. Pool lost MORE than bucket? Leak confirmed.

Common spots: underground lines, shell cracks, skimmer, equipment pad.

We locate without draining or digging.

Ever wonder how we find a leak hidden under 6 inches of concrete? Let us show you.

Our specialists use specialized electronic listening equipment that picks up the sound frequency of water escaping from pressurized pipes. Here's how it works:

1️⃣ We map your plumbing system using electromagnetic pipe locators to know exactly where pipes run under your slab.

2️⃣ We listen to the slab using ground microphones that detect ultrasonic frequencies humans can't hear.

3️⃣ We triangulate the source by taking multiple readings across your floor, pinpointing the leak to within inches.

4️⃣ We verify with thermal imaging to confirm the location by detecting temperature differences caused by water.

5️⃣ We mark the exact spot with precision, so your contractor knows exactly where to cut.

MYTH vs FACT: Leak Detection Edition 🚿

MYTH: "If I don't see water, I don't have a leak."
FACT: Most serious leaks hide in walls, under slabs, or underground where you'll never see them until major damage occurs.

MYTH: "My plumber can find leaks just as well as a specialist."
FACT: General plumbers rarely invest in thermal imaging, acoustic detection, or electromagnetic pipe locators. They guess. We use science.

Los Angeles homeowners, don't believe the myths. Get the facts.
