LEAK REPAIR FAQs

Common questions from Birmingham homeowners about water leaks.

Turn off every faucet and appliance, then check your water meter. If it’s still moving, water is flowing somewhere. Rising bills, damp spots, musty smells, and the sound of running water are other common signs.

It depends on where the leak is and what it takes to reach it. A faucet or valve leak is inexpensive; a slab leak takes more work. We locate the leak first, then give you an upfront written price before repairing it.

Shut off the water at the fixture’s shut-off valve or at the main valve, move belongings away from the water, and call us at 205-593-6225. We provide 24/7 emergency service for active leaks.

In most cases, yes. We use acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging, and pressure testing to narrow the leak to a small area before any cutting is done.

A slab leak is a leak in the water lines running beneath your home’s concrete foundation. Signs include warm floor spots, cracks, and unexplained water bills. We locate slab leaks precisely and repair or reroute the line with the least invasive method.

One leak is a repair. A pattern of leaks in old galvanized or polybutylene pipe is a sign the system is failing, and repiping is usually the better long-term investment. We’ll give you an honest recommendation.

Policies vary. Many cover sudden, accidental water damage but not the plumbing repair itself. We provide detailed documentation of the leak and repair to help with your claim.
