Fixture and Appliance Leak Detection in Reno, NV
Running toilets, worn faucet cartridges and leaking water heater connections waste more water than most people think. A silent toilet leak can lose hundreds of gallons a day. We check flappers, fill valves, supply lines, softeners and water heater fittings. These repairs are usually quick and inexpensive.
Water Leak Detection in Walls & Ceilings in Reno, NV
Water leaks behind walls or in ceilings can go unnoticed for long periods, leading to extensive drywall damage, wood rot and mold. We use non-invasive methods like moisture meters, thermal cameras and borescopes to precisely pinpoint the source of these leaks. This approach minimizes the need for destructive investigation, saving you time and money on repairs to your home's walls and ceilings.
Pool and Spa Leak Detection in Reno
Summer heat and wind can evaporate a lot of pool water, so it can be hard to tell normal loss from a leak. A bucket test compares evaporation to actual water loss. We then pressure test plumbing lines and use dye testing around lights, skimmers and fittings. Finding the leak safeguards the pool shell and the soil around it.
Expert Leak Detection Near Me in Reno, NV
Local experience helps because we know the pipe materials, slab construction and irrigation layouts common around Reno. That narrows the search and shortens locating. It also means we can return promptly if you need a repair.
When you suspect a leak, getting a quick answer saves water, money and damage. Our technicians work throughout Reno and can usually schedule a test within a day. We bring all of our detection equipment on the first visit.
