Hear from Our Customers
You hear water running when everything’s turned off. Your water bill jumped for no reason. There’s a damp spot on your ceiling that wasn’t there last week.
Water leaks don’t announce themselves until they’ve already caused damage. By the time you see the problem, you’re looking at repairs that go way beyond just fixing a pipe.
Our leak detection service finds the exact source without tearing into walls or floors. We use specialized equipment that pinpoints leaks through concrete, behind walls, and under slabs. You get answers fast, and your property stays intact while we work.
We serve Meyers and the surrounding El Dorado County area with reliable plumbing solutions. CG Plumbing is locally owned, fully licensed, and insured, providing both residential and commercial plumbing services.
Every technician is background-checked and drug-tested before joining our team. This isn’t just about following regulations—it’s about making sure you feel comfortable having someone in your home during what’s already a stressful situation.
The Meyers area presents unique challenges with seasonal properties, varying elevations, and older plumbing systems. We understand these local conditions and have the experience to handle everything from vacation home winterization issues to aging pipe systems in established neighborhoods.
First, we listen. You tell us what you’ve noticed—higher bills, sounds, wet spots, or just a gut feeling something’s wrong. Every detail helps us narrow down where to look.
Next comes the detection work. We use electronic listening devices, thermal imaging, and pressure testing to locate the leak without guesswork. This technology lets us see through walls and under concrete to find exactly where water is escaping.
Once we’ve found the problem, we explain what’s happening and what it’ll take to fix it. You get an upfront quote before any repair work begins. No surprises, no hidden costs. Then we fix it right the first time, using quality materials that last.

Water leak detection in Meyers requires understanding how mountain weather affects plumbing systems. Freeze-thaw cycles can stress pipes, and seasonal properties often develop problems during periods of non-use.
Our service covers everything from pinhole leaks in copper pipes to slab leaks under concrete foundations. We detect leaks in supply lines, drain lines, and even underground irrigation systems. The equipment we use can differentiate between different types of leaks and determine whether you’re dealing with a pressurized water line or a drain leak.
Meyers properties often have unique plumbing configurations due to the area’s development patterns and elevation changes. We’re familiar with common issues in the area, including how settling affects older homes and how newer construction sometimes develops problems with fitting connections.
We use non-invasive electronic detection equipment that locates leaks through walls, floors, and concrete without any demolition. Electronic listening devices pick up the sound of water escaping from pipes, even when it’s barely audible to the human ear.
Thermal imaging cameras show temperature differences that indicate moisture behind walls or under floors. We also use pressure testing to isolate sections of your plumbing system and determine exactly where pressure is dropping.
This technology means we can usually pinpoint a leak within inches of its actual location before making any cuts or holes. When we do need to access the leak for repairs, we know exactly where to go, minimizing any necessary opening in your walls or flooring.
The most obvious sign is an unexplained increase in your water bill, especially if your usage habits haven’t changed. You might hear water running when all fixtures and appliances are turned off, particularly noticeable at night when the house is quiet.
Look for damp or discolored spots on walls, ceilings, or floors. Musty odors can indicate water accumulating in hidden areas. You might notice a drop in water pressure or find that your water heater is running more frequently than usual.
In Meyers, pay attention to soggy spots in your yard that don’t dry out, especially if they’re not near sprinklers or natural drainage areas. Foundation cracks or settling can also indicate underground leaks that are washing away soil beneath your home.
Detection costs vary based on the complexity of your plumbing system and the type of leak we’re looking for. Simple leak detection for accessible pipes costs less than locating a slab leak under concrete foundations.
We provide upfront quotes before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying before we begin. Many property owners find that professional detection saves money compared to the trial-and-error approach of cutting into walls hoping to find the problem.
Consider that undetected leaks continue causing damage every day they’re left unfixed. The cost of detection is typically much less than dealing with water damage, mold remediation, or the structural repairs that result from long-term leaks.
Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency service for water leaks that need immediate attention. We understand that some leaks can’t wait until regular business hours, especially when water is actively damaging your property.
Emergency situations include burst pipes, major slab leaks, or any leak that’s causing ongoing water damage to your home. We respond quickly to minimize damage and get your water system working properly again.
For non-emergency leaks—like small drips or gradual increases in your water bill—we can often schedule detection and repair during regular hours. We’ll help you determine whether your situation requires immediate attention or can wait for a scheduled appointment.
We handle the complete range of water leak repairs, from simple fixture leaks to complex underground pipe replacements. We repair leaks in copper, PVC, PEX, and galvanized steel piping systems.
Our repair services include slab leak repairs, which sometimes require accessing pipes through concrete foundations. We also handle repiping projects when multiple leaks indicate that your plumbing system needs updating rather than individual repairs.
Some repairs are straightforward and completed the same day we detect the leak. Others, particularly slab leaks or extensive repiping projects, may require additional time and coordination. We’ll explain what your specific repair involves and provide a timeline along with your quote.
Professional leak detection equipment costs thousands of dollars and requires training to use effectively. Without the right tools, you’re essentially guessing where the leak might be, which often leads to unnecessary damage to your property.
Many homeowners end up cutting multiple holes in walls or digging up yards trying to locate leaks. This approach is expensive, time-consuming, and often unsuccessful. Professional detection finds the exact location quickly and accurately.
We also understand how different types of plumbing systems behave and can identify problems that aren’t obvious to untrained eyes. A leak that seems like a simple pipe problem might actually indicate a larger issue with your plumbing system that needs attention to prevent future problems.
