Hear from Our Customers
You know that sinking feeling when you spot water where it shouldn’t be. Your mind immediately jumps to worst-case scenarios—damaged floors, ruined drywall, mold growing behind walls you can’t see.
Here’s what changes when you catch leaks early. Your water bills stay normal instead of spiking mysteriously. Your foundation stays solid instead of shifting from water damage. Your insurance stays happy instead of questioning repeated claims.
Most importantly, you sleep better knowing a small problem stayed small instead of becoming a renovation project.
CG Plumbing has been solving water leak problems across Granite Bay and the surrounding counties for years. Every technician on our team passes background checks and drug testing—because you shouldn’t have to wonder about who’s in your home.
We serve El Dorado, Sacramento, Placer, Nevada, and Amador counties, which means we understand the specific plumbing challenges in older Granite Bay homes and newer developments alike. We’ve seen the common leak patterns in local construction and know exactly where to look.
When we give you an upfront quote, that’s what you pay. No surprises, no “we found something else” upsells after we’re already in your walls.
First, we show up on time—not in a four-hour window, but when we say we will. Our technician uses detection equipment to pinpoint exactly where water is escaping, even if it’s behind walls or under slabs you can’t access.
Next comes the upfront quote. You know the cost before any work starts, and that price doesn’t change unless you ask for additional services. No discovering “complications” that somehow double the bill.
The repair itself focuses on permanent fixes, not patches that’ll fail in six months. We clean up our work area completely because your home isn’t our workshop. You get a detailed explanation of what was wrong, what we fixed, and how to prevent similar issues.

Water leak detection in Granite Bay requires understanding both older home construction and newer building methods. Many Granite Bay properties have complex plumbing systems with multiple levels and extensive landscaping that can hide outdoor leaks.
Our service includes electronic leak detection, thermal imaging, and pressure testing to find problems without unnecessary demolition. Whether it’s a slab leak under your foundation, a hidden pipe leak behind drywall, or outdoor irrigation issues affecting your home’s foundation, our approach stays thorough.
Emergency availability matters here because water doesn’t wait for business hours. A small leak at midnight becomes major damage by morning, especially in homes with hardwood floors or finished basements common in the area.
Electronic leak detection equipment listens for the sound of water escaping pipes, even through concrete and tile. Thermal imaging cameras show temperature differences where water is cooling or heating surfaces differently than surrounding areas.
These tools pinpoint leak locations within inches, which means minimal demolition to access the problem. Instead of tearing up entire rooms hoping to find the source, the repair focuses on one small access point.
The process typically takes 30-60 minutes for detection, depending on your home’s size and plumbing complexity. You’ll know exactly where the problem is before any cutting or digging begins.
A water leak inspection identifies potential problems before they cause damage. This includes checking water pressure, examining visible pipes, testing fixtures, and using detection equipment in areas where leaks commonly develop but aren’t yet visible.
Repair happens after a leak is confirmed and located. The inspection might find weak spots or early-stage problems that can be addressed before they become emergencies, while repair deals with active water loss.
Many Granite Bay homeowners schedule inspections annually, especially in homes over 15 years old where original plumbing starts showing wear. It’s significantly less expensive than emergency repairs and prevents the stress of discovering problems at the worst possible time.
Emergency response aims for same-day service, often within a few hours depending on your location in Granite Bay and current demand. Our 24/7 availability isn’t just for scheduling—it’s for actual service when you need it most.
Water damage escalates quickly, especially in homes with hardwood, carpet, or finished lower levels. What starts as a small leak can become a major restoration project if it runs overnight or over a weekend.
Our emergency service includes temporary leak stoppage if needed while arranging permanent repairs. This prevents additional damage while ensuring the final fix is done properly, not just quickly.
Insurance coverage depends on the leak’s cause and your specific policy. Sudden, accidental leaks like burst pipes are typically covered, while gradual leaks from normal wear and tear usually aren’t.
The key is documentation and timing. Insurance companies want to see that you responded quickly to minimize damage and used professional detection methods to identify the source. DIY approaches or delayed response can affect coverage decisions.
We provide detailed documentation of the leak source, repair methods, and timeline for insurance claims. This paperwork often makes the difference between approved and denied claims, especially for larger damage situations.
Detection service typically ranges from $150-$400 depending on your home’s size, plumbing complexity, and how difficult the leak is to locate. This cost is usually applied toward repair charges if you proceed with the fix.
Simple leaks in accessible areas cost less to find than complex slab leaks or problems in finished areas. The upfront quote covers detection work, so you know the cost before any equipment comes out of the truck.
Compare this to the cost of water damage: even minor flooding can cost thousands in flooring, drywall, and mold remediation. Detection pays for itself by preventing escalation and helping you address problems while they’re still manageable.
We serve El Dorado, Sacramento, Placer, Nevada, and Amador counties, which includes Granite Bay, Roseville, Folsom, Auburn, and surrounding communities. This local focus means familiarity with common plumbing issues in different neighborhoods and building periods.
Different areas have different challenges—older Granite Bay homes might have galvanized pipes reaching end of life, while newer developments might have construction-related issues still under warranty. Local experience matters for efficient diagnosis.
Response times stay consistent across our service area because of strategic scheduling and multiple technicians. You’re not waiting longer for service just because you’re not in the main city center.
