You know something’s wrong when your water bill jumps $200 overnight. That slow drip behind the wall or under the slab isn’t just annoying—it’s expensive. Every day you wait, more water disappears down the drain and more damage spreads through your home.
The EPA estimates that fixing household water leaks saves homeowners about 10% on their water bills. But here’s what really matters: catching leaks early prevents the bigger nightmare. Water damage claims in California average over $10,000, and most homeowners drastically underestimate these costs.
When we find and fix your leak quickly, you get your normal water bills back. Your foundation stays dry. Your walls don’t develop mold. And you avoid those emergency calls at 2 AM when a small leak becomes a burst pipe.
We’ve been serving Orangevale and surrounding Sacramento County areas for years. We’re the locally owned plumbing company that homeowners call when they need reliable service without the runaround.
Our team is fully licensed, insured, and background-checked. We know Orangevale’s older homes—many built around 1976—and the specific plumbing challenges they face. From the original copper pipes that develop pinhole leaks to slab foundation issues common in this area, we’ve seen it all.
We provide upfront quotes, arrive on time, and clean up after ourselves. No surprises, no hidden fees, no excuses. Just straightforward plumbing service that fixes the problem the first time.
First, we listen to your concerns and inspect the obvious areas—around fixtures, under sinks, near water heaters. But most damaging leaks hide behind walls, under slabs, or in crawl spaces where you can’t see them.
We use advanced electronic leak detection equipment that picks up the sound of water moving through pipes and escaping at leak points. This technology lets us pinpoint exactly where the problem is without tearing up your walls or yard unnecessarily.
Once we locate the leak, we explain what we found and give you repair options. Small leaks might need a simple pipe section replacement. Slab leaks could require rerouting lines or spot repairs. We recommend the most cost-effective solution for your specific situation and get to work immediately.

Our water leak services cover everything from minor drips to major pipe failures. We handle kitchen and bathroom leaks, water heater connections, main line problems, and those tricky slab leaks that plague many Orangevale homes built on concrete foundations.
Orangevale’s aging infrastructure means copper pipes are reaching the end of their lifespan. When minerals in the water cause corrosion, pinhole leaks develop and spread. We’ve helped hundreds of local homeowners upgrade their plumbing systems before small problems become expensive disasters.
We also provide 24/7 emergency response because water doesn’t wait for business hours. Whether it’s a burst pipe flooding your basement or a slab leak creating hot spots on your floor, we respond quickly to minimize damage and get your water system working properly again.
Watch for these warning signs: unexplained increases in your water bill, the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, warm spots on floors (indicating hot water line leaks), or damp areas on exterior walls. Your water meter can also help—turn off all water in the house and check if the meter is still moving.
Many Orangevale homes have concrete slab foundations, making slab leaks particularly common. You might notice foundation cracks, mildew on walls, or that your water heater runs constantly. These hidden leaks can waste thousands of gallons monthly and cause extensive structural damage if not addressed quickly.
Repair costs depend on the leak’s location and severity. Simple fixture leaks might cost $150-300 to fix. Pipe repairs inside walls typically run $400-800. Slab leaks are more complex, ranging from $500 for spot repairs to $2,000+ for line rerouting.
However, the real cost is what happens if you wait. Water damage claims in California average over $10,000, and that doesn’t include the headache of dealing with insurance, temporary housing, or replacing damaged belongings. Early detection and repair almost always saves money compared to emergency restoration after major damage occurs.
Most leak detection takes 1-3 hours depending on your home’s size and plumbing layout. Our electronic equipment can quickly scan accessible areas and identify leak sounds. Slab leaks or leaks in hard-to-reach areas might take longer to pinpoint precisely.
The key is having the right equipment and experience. We don’t rely on guesswork or unnecessary excavation. Our detection methods are non-invasive, which means we can locate most leaks without damaging your property. Once we find the leak, we provide immediate repair estimates so you can make informed decisions about next steps.
Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency water leak response throughout Orangevale and surrounding Sacramento County areas. Water emergencies don’t wait for convenient timing, and neither do we. Burst pipes, major slab leaks, or any situation where water is actively damaging your property gets immediate attention.
Our emergency service includes temporary leak stopping, water shut-off assistance, and permanent repairs. We carry common repair materials on our trucks so we can often complete fixes the same day. For complex repairs requiring special parts, we’ll secure the area and return first thing the next morning to finish the job.
Many Orangevale homes were built in the 1970s with copper pipes running under concrete slab foundations. Over time, minerals in the water cause copper corrosion, creating pinhole leaks. The clay soil common in this area also shifts as it expands and contracts, putting stress on underground pipes.
Slab leaks are particularly problematic because they’re hidden and can run for months before detection. They waste enormous amounts of water, damage foundations, and create perfect conditions for mold growth. The good news is our detection equipment can locate these leaks precisely, and we have multiple repair options depending on the pipe’s condition and location.
Insurance coverage depends on the cause and timing of the damage. Most policies cover “sudden and accidental” water damage, like a burst pipe or appliance failure. However, they typically exclude damage from gradual leaks that weren’t addressed promptly or routine maintenance issues.
The key is acting quickly when you suspect a leak. Insurance companies may deny claims if they determine the damage resulted from neglected maintenance or a leak that was ignored for months. Document everything, take photos, and get professional repairs done immediately. This protects both your property and your insurance coverage.
