FAQS

What are the most common signs that I need leak repair?

Common symptoms include dripping water, wet drywall, puddles near sinks or appliances, mold growth, musty odors, water stains on ceilings or walls, and unexplained increases in your water bill. Even small leaks can grow quickly, so early repair prevents major damage.

What types of leaks do you repair?

We repair all residential plumbing leaks, including pipe leaks, fixture leaks, faucet and toilet leaks, wall and ceiling leaks, appliance supply line leaks, shower leaks, slab leaks, and leaks under sinks. Whether the issue is visible or hidden, our team can diagnose and repair it efficiently.

Why shouldn’t I ignore a small plumbing leak?

Even small leaks can cause mold growth, wood rot, drywall damage, flooring warping, and higher utility costs. Over time, pressure changes and corrosion can turn a tiny drip into a major pipe failure. Repairing leaks early protects your home and prevents expensive structural repairs.

What causes plumbing leaks in the first place?

Leaks can be caused by worn-out seals, failing fixtures, corroded pipes, high water pressure, loose connections, temperature changes, and normal aging of your plumbing system. Homes in Charlotte with older copper or galvanized pipes are especially prone to pinhole leaks and slow drips.

How do you locate the exact source of a leak?

We use a combination of inspection techniques and detection tools—such as moisture meters, thermal imaging, and pressure testing—to find the exact location of the leak. This allows us to repair the issue precisely without unnecessary demolition or guesswork.

How fast can you repair a leak once you find it?

Most leaks can be repaired during the same visit. Simple fixes like replacing a valve, tightening fittings, or repairing supply lines take minutes, while larger issues like wall leaks or pipe replacements may take longer. Our goal is always same-day solutions whenever possible.

What should I do if water is coming through my ceiling or walls?

Turn off your home’s water supply if possible and avoid walking through wet areas near electrical outlets. Ceiling and wall leaks spread quickly, so contact us right away. We’ll locate the source, stop the leak, and prevent further damage to your home’s structure.

Do you repair leaks behind walls or inside ceilings?

Yes. We specialize in repairing leaks hidden behind walls, ceilings, and floors. Once the leak is located, we open only the small area needed for access, complete the repair, and leave the surrounding structure intact. This keeps the repair clean, efficient, and minimally invasive.

Can high water pressure cause leaks in my home?

Yes. Excessive water pressure puts stress on pipe joints, appliances, faucets, and valves, often leading to leaks or burst pipes. If you notice frequent leaks, noisy pipes, or inconsistent pressure, we can test your system and install a pressure regulator if needed.

How do I prevent leaks from happening again?

Prevention includes regular plumbing maintenance, repairing aging or corroded pipes, fixing slow drips promptly, managing water pressure, and inspecting supply lines to appliances. Our technicians can walk you through long-term solutions after repairing the leak.
