A leaking pipe can send water behind walls, under floors, or into ceilings before visible damage appears. Early detection helps limit damage to drywall, flooring, insulation, cabinets, and framing.
What the Job Involves
The property is inspected for signs of plumbing leaks and hidden moisture. Moisture meters and detection equipment help locate affected areas, followed by water extraction and cleanup where needed.
Signs You Need It
- Unexplained water stains
- Damp or soft drywall
- Buckled flooring
- Musty odors
- Swollen cabinets or baseboards
- Unexpected increases in water usage
How the Work Goes
The suspected leak area is inspected first and moisture readings are taken around walls, floors, and ceilings. Once the leak is stopped or repaired, standing water is extracted and damaged materials are evaluated. Air movers and dehumidifiers are used to dry salvageable areas.
What Affects the Cost
Cost depends on leak location, accessibility, amount of water released, affected materials, and drying requirements. Hidden leaks behind walls or beneath flooring may require selective demolition to reach and dry the affected area.
