How We Track Down Leaks
Our process is precise, minimally invasive, and built around clear communication:
- Interview & meter check: review symptoms, usage spikes, and fixture history
- Zone isolation & pressure tests: narrow the search to a branch, fixture, or slab line
- Acoustic & thermal tools: listen for line noise and scan for temperature anomalies
- Camera verification: inspect drains and concealed piping when needed
- Pinpoint & mark: map the leak location and provide photos or video
- Upfront options: clear scope, pricing, and timelines from Captain Plumber
