Types of Plumbing Leaks
No matter where your leak occurs in your home, we have experience detecting and fixing plumbing leaks of all kinds. Common plumbing leaks we see in include:
Drain Leaks
Drain leaks can occur from a multitude of issues and are especially harmful as they often contain contaminated water. Common types of drain leaks include dishwasher supply and drain leaks, shower drain leaks, sink drain leaks, and yard drain leaks.
Sink Leaks
Whether it’s a kitchen, bathroom, or utility sink, a leaking pipe under your sink can wreak havoc on the floor, wall, or cabinet it is attached to. Poorly connected pipes, clogs, or a loose water supply connection may cause a sink leak.
Kitchen and Bathroom Leaks
The majority of plumbing leaks occur in kitchens and bathrooms, as your water supply runs to these rooms the most. Common kitchen and bathroom leaks include shower pan leaks, bathroom waterproofing leaks, tile leaks, and hot and cold water supply leaks.
Pipe Leaks
One of the most common plumbing issues occurs from leaking pipes. We provide leaking pipe repair on PVC, pex, cast iron, copper, ABS, waste lines, and vent stacks.
HVAC Leaks
An inefficient or old HVAC system can cause leaks to appear in your home. The most common include HVAC exhaust leaks, intake leaks, or condensation leaks. HVAC leaks can cause water damage and keep your system from running efficiently.

There are many reasons that you may experience a plumbing leak, and often there is more than just one root cause. Call our expert leak detection team at 215-717-9667 to find and fix the real problem behind your mystery plumbing leak.

FAQs
That is exactly what we are here for! Mystery leaks frustrate many homeowners, but our team brings decades of combined experience to every job. We specialize in comprehensive Leak Detection services to pinpoint hidden moisture sources. No matter where the water hides or what causes it, our specialists will find it, and fix it, for good.
Plumbing leaks happen due to things like loose pipe connections, worn seals, or internal corrosion. Watch for unexpected damp spots on walls or floors, lingering musty odors, or the sound of running water when all your fixtures are turned off. Keep in mind that even small, slow drips can cause major structural damage and require mold remediation over time.
Yes, if a leak is left untreated. Even a slow drip can cause mold, rot, or structural issues over time. Catching and fixing leaks early helps you avoid costly repairs.
Place a bucket to contain the drip, move furniture and rugs away from the area to prevent water damage, and set up a fan to dry any dampness. Read our guide for more information on emergency leak management and what to expect from your Leak Detection appointment.
We break our process down into distinct phases to ensure accuracy and high-quality results:
Initial Leak Detection: This on-site investigation typically takes between 2 to 8 hours.
Comprehensive Reporting: You receive a detailed Leak Report within approximately 14 business days.
Water Intrusion Repair Phase: Average repairs take 1 to 2 days to complete. Extensive structural work might require a couple of weeks.
Weather Testing: After we complete the repairs, we wait for 3 to 4 weather events to pass. This waiting period proves the leak is fully resolved before we perform cosmetic drywall repairs.
Learn more about our leak detection and repair process.
We'll likely open a viewable area (cutting a hole in the wall or ceiling) on the interior where your leak is presenting. This allows us to explore how the leak is behaving in order to find the root cause of the leak.
We don’t work directly with your homeowner’s insurance, but we will work with you if you are getting reimbursed. If you need extra time to figure out the details with your insurance or are waiting for a check from them, we can adjust or pause with you to make the process as smooth as possible.
We stand by our expertise. If the exact same leak reappears after our repair, we will return to repeat the Leak Detection process free of charge. If we find any issues with our workmanship, we will correct them for free. If we discover completely new, contributing factors, we will provide a clear estimate for those additional repairs.
