Hear from Our Customers
When we’re done, you’ll know exactly where the problem was and why it happened. No more mysterious water bills. No more wondering if that damp spot will turn into something worse. No more lying awake worrying about what’s happening behind your walls.
You get the peace of mind that comes from knowing your plumbing system is working as it should. Your water stays where it belongs, your bills stay predictable, and your home stays protected from the kind of damage that can cost thousands to repair.
Most importantly, you’ll have a clear understanding of your plumbing’s condition and what to watch for going forward.
We’ve been serving Lake Wildwood and Nevada County for over 20 years. We’re the plumbers your neighbors call when they need the job done right the first time.
Every technician on our team is background-checked and drug-tested because we understand you’re letting us into your home. We show up when we say we will, give you upfront pricing before any work begins, and clean up after ourselves when we’re done.
Lake Wildwood’s homes were mostly built in the 1980s, and we’ve seen every type of plumbing challenge these properties can present. From original copper lines showing their age to newer repairs that weren’t done quite right the first time, we know how to diagnose problems quickly and fix them properly.
First, we listen. You tell us what you’ve noticed – higher water bills, damp spots, sounds you can’t place, or just a gut feeling something isn’t right.
Then we investigate using advanced leak detection equipment that can pinpoint problems without tearing apart your walls or digging up your yard unnecessarily. We use electronic listening devices, thermal imaging, and pressure testing to find exactly where water is going where it shouldn’t.
Once we locate the issue, we explain what we found in plain language. You’ll understand what caused the leak, what needs to be fixed, and what it’s going to cost before we touch a single tool.
After you give us the go-ahead, we fix it right. We use quality materials appropriate for your home’s plumbing system and Nevada County’s conditions. When we’re finished, we test everything to make sure the repair is solid and clean up our work area completely.

Our water leak services cover everything from the obvious dripping faucet to the hidden slab leak that’s been quietly damaging your foundation. We handle toilet leaks, pipe leaks, appliance connection leaks, and irrigation system leaks.
For Lake Wildwood residents, we understand the unique challenges of homes built in the 1980s. Original galvanized pipes may be showing corrosion, copper lines can develop pinhole leaks, and fixture connections often need attention after decades of use.
We also know that many Lake Wildwood homeowners are retirees who need reliable service they can count on. That’s why we offer 24/7 emergency response for serious leaks and same-day service for urgent but non-emergency situations.
Our leak detection service includes a complete assessment of your plumbing system’s condition, so you’ll know not just where the current problem is, but what other areas might need attention in the coming months or years.
Check your water bill for unexplained increases – if your winter usage exceeds what you’d expect when you’re not watering landscaping, you likely have a leak. Look for damp spots on walls, floors, or your yard, especially soft areas in your lawn or the sound of running water when no fixtures are in use.
You can also do a simple meter test: turn off all water in your house, check your water meter, wait two hours without using any water, then check the meter again. If it moved, you have a leak somewhere in your system.
Many Lake Wildwood homes have leaks that go undetected for months because they’re behind walls or under slabs where you can’t see them.
Leak detection is the specialized process of finding exactly where water is escaping from your plumbing system. It requires specific equipment like electronic listening devices, thermal cameras, and pressure testing tools, plus the training to interpret what these tools are telling us.
Leak repair is the actual fixing of the problem once we know where it is. Some companies only do detection and refer you elsewhere for repairs, which means more time, more appointments, and more disruption to your schedule.
We handle both detection and repair, so once we find your leak, we can fix it the same day in most cases. This saves you time and ensures the repair is done by the same technicians who diagnosed the problem.
Our leak detection service typically ranges from $125 to $250 per hour depending on the complexity of the investigation and the equipment needed. We provide upfront estimates before starting any work, so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
Many times, the cost of detection pays for itself quickly through water savings once the leak is fixed. A small leak can waste thousands of gallons per year, and a running toilet can waste over 9,000 gallons annually.
We also offer free estimates for many common leak situations, and if we perform the repair work, we often include the detection time in the overall project cost.
Yes, our leak detection methods are non-invasive and non-destructive. We use electronic listening equipment to hear water moving through pipes, thermal imaging to see temperature differences that indicate moisture, and pressure testing to isolate problem areas.
This technology allows us to pinpoint leaks within inches of their actual location without cutting into walls, digging up floors, or excavating your yard unnecessarily. When we do need to access the leak for repairs, we make the smallest opening possible and restore the area properly.
For Lake Wildwood’s older homes, this approach is especially important because we can avoid disturbing original materials or finishes that might be difficult to match during restoration.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency leak repair service throughout Lake Wildwood and Nevada County. We understand that serious leaks don’t wait for business hours, and the longer you wait, the more damage water can cause to your home.
We typically arrive within an hour for true emergencies like burst pipes or major leaks causing active flooding. For urgent but non-emergency situations, we offer same-day service during regular business hours.
Emergency service rates are higher than standard appointments due to the immediate response required, but we’re always upfront about pricing before we start any work, even in emergency situations.
For major leaks, immediately shut off your main water supply – this valve is usually located near your water meter or where the main line enters your house. This stops additional water from flowing and prevents further damage while you wait for professional help.
For smaller leaks, turn off water to the affected fixture if you can locate the shutoff valve. Take photos of any damage for insurance purposes, and move valuable items away from the affected area.
Don’t use electrical appliances near standing water, and be careful walking on wet floors. Call us right away – even small leaks can become big problems quickly, especially in Lake Wildwood’s older homes where a small issue can reveal larger underlying problems with aging plumbing systems.
