LEAK DETECTION

Find the source behind the signs of a water leak.

A higher water bill, a damp spot, musty odor, stained ceiling, or unexplained sound of running water may point to a leak that is not obvious. Leak detection service helps focus the response before damage spreads.

THE RIGHT NEXT STEP

Practical help, built around what is happening now.

Note where you have seen the change and whether your water meter continues moving when fixtures are off. Those details can help guide the initial assessment and keep the repair conversation specific to your property.

HOW TO PREPARE

Useful details make the first conversation easier.

Tell us which fixtures are affected, when the problem started, and whether you can see active water or damage. If you have shut off the water, let us know. Photos of the affected area can help explain the issue, but a site visit may still be needed to confirm a diagnosis and scope of work.

Office hours are monday–friday, 8 am–5 pm. Emergency service requests are available 24/7; for urgent water issues, please call instead of waiting for an online reply.

SERVICE GUIDE

Understand the issue before you request service.

These service-specific details help you explain what is happening and prepare your property for the next step.

Clues that a leak may be hidden

Some leaks are visible at a fixture or pipe connection. Others show up indirectly through a water bill that changes without explanation, a damp spot, peeling paint, a musty odor, or the sound of water when fixtures are off.

These signs do not all point to the same source. The location of the symptom and the way it changes over time provide useful context for an assessment.

Unexplained water use or meter movement
Damp flooring, walls, or ceiling stains
Musty odor or new mold-like conditions
A steady sound of water when nothing is running

Steps that help narrow the issue

Make a note of the first place you saw the symptom and whether it changes after using a particular fixture. If the water meter is accessible, note whether it appears to move when all known water use is stopped.

Do not open walls, flooring, or plumbing connections without a plan. Protect nearby belongings and report any active water immediately.

Moving from detection to repair

Finding the source is the first part of the work. The repair approach depends on the pipe location, access, material, and the condition of the surrounding system.

For a commercial or managed property, provide the suite or unit, access contact, and any areas that must stay operational. This allows the service process to account for the property as well as the leak.
