Leak Detection and Repair Service

As a service company Drain First Plumbers see all different types of water leaks. Most major leak repairs require leak detection services to locate the source of the leak. But pipe breaks can happen unexpectedly as well.

Slab leaks: Are typically from pressurized copper pipes leaking and can be found under or in concrete floors. Electronic detection is used on slab leaks to avoid property damage that is often associated with other types of leak detection that use demolition tools to locate leaks.

In wall leaks: These leaks are also difficult to reach and require cutting into the wall to fix, adding drywall repair & sometimes paint to the total cost.

Broken water pipe: A broken pipe usually happens suddenly. These types of leaks can cause a lot of damage to flooring and furniture.
