Our trucks are stocked with quality parts, and we give you upfront pricing before any work begins. No surprises, no inflated bills, just straightforward service from people who live and work in your community.
First, we listen to your situation and inspect the obvious areas – checking water meter readings, looking for wet spots, and testing water pressure. This gives us clues about where to focus our detection equipment.

Thermal imaging cameras show us temperature differences that indicate moisture. For slab leaks, we use specialized equipment that can pinpoint the exact location without breaking concrete.

Auburn homes face specific water leak challenges. Many properties built on the area’s clay-rich soil experience foundation settling that can stress underground pipes. Older homes in established neighborhoods often have aging copper lines that develop pinhole leaks.
We handle every type of water leak issue Auburn homeowners encounter: slab leaks under concrete foundations, pipe leaks behind walls, water line breaks in yards, and fixture leaks in kitchens and bathrooms. Our detection equipment works on all pipe materials – copper, PEX, galvanized steel, and PVC.
For Auburn’s tract homes built on former agricultural land, we often find hot water line leaks that develop from ground movement and temperature changes. We can reroute lines to avoid problem areas or perform targeted repairs that address the root cause, not just the symptom.
Water leak detection in Auburn typically costs between $200-$500, depending on your home’s size and the complexity of locating the leak. This fee is often applied toward repair costs if you choose to have us fix the problem.
The investment pays for itself quickly. A hidden leak can waste hundreds of gallons daily, adding $50-$200 monthly to your water bill. Professional detection finds the exact location, preventing unnecessary excavation or wall demolition that DIY attempts often cause.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what to expect. Most Auburn homeowners find that early detection saves thousands in water damage repairs and inflated utility bills.
Yes, we use non-invasive slab leak detection technology that pinpoints the exact location without breaking concrete unnecessarily. Our electronic listening equipment and thermal imaging cameras can detect water movement and temperature changes through your foundation.
This precision means we only remove the minimal amount of concrete needed to access the leak – typically a small section rather than exploratory digging. Auburn homes with post-tension slabs require especially careful detection to avoid damaging cables.
Once we’ve located the leak precisely, we can often offer alternatives like rerouting the line through walls or ceilings, avoiding concrete work entirely. We’ll explain all your options with honest pros and cons for each approach.
We provide 24/7 emergency water leak response throughout Auburn, typically arriving within 1-2 hours for urgent situations. Water emergencies don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.

We keep fully stocked trucks and maintain relationships with local suppliers to ensure we have parts available even during off-hours. Most emergency repairs are completed the same day, getting your water restored and preventing further damage.
Auburn’s clay-rich soil and seasonal ground movement create unique challenges for home plumbing systems. During dry summers, clay soil shrinks and pulls away from foundations. Winter rains cause expansion that can stress underground pipes.
Many Auburn homes built in the 1970s-1990s have copper supply lines that develop pinhole leaks from ground movement and water chemistry. Homes in areas like Old Town Auburn often have aging galvanized pipes that corrode from the inside out.
Post-tension slab construction, common in Auburn’s newer developments, can develop leaks where pipes pass through the foundation. We see this frequently in tract homes built on former agricultural land where soil settling continues for years after construction.
Yes, all our water leak repairs in Auburn come with a comprehensive warranty on both parts and labor. Specific warranty periods depend on the type of repair, but we stand behind our work completely.
For pipe repairs, we warranty the work for one year minimum. Whole-house repiping projects include longer warranty periods, and we use only high-quality materials like Type L copper and UPONOR PEX with manufacturer guarantees.
If you experience any issues with our repair work, we return at no charge to make it right. Auburn homeowners choose us because we take responsibility for our work and maintain our reputation through quality service, not quick fixes.
You can check obvious areas like visible pipes, faucets, and your water meter, but don’t attempt DIY leak detection with underground or in-wall pipes. Auburn homeowners often cause expensive damage trying to locate hidden leaks themselves.
Start by checking if your water meter continues running when all water is turned off in your home. Look for wet spots in your yard, water stains on walls or ceilings, and listen for running water sounds. These clues help us focus our professional detection equipment.
Avoid digging or cutting into walls based on guesswork. Our electronic detection equipment can save you thousands in unnecessary property damage. What seems like a simple leak often involves multiple factors that require professional assessment and proper repair techniques.
