Warning Signs of a Hidden Leak
Unexplained spikes in your water bill, musty odors, warped flooring, ceiling stains, or the sound of running water when fixtures are off all point to a possible hidden leak. A simple test: note your water meter reading, avoid using water for two hours, and check whether it moved.
Precise Detection, Minimal Disruption
Our goal is to find the leak with as little disruption to your home as possible, then open only what's necessary to make a sound repair. We confirm every repair before we leave so you have confidence the issue is fully resolved.
Protecting Older Boston Homes
Boston's historic housing stock often contains a mix of copper, galvanized, and newer piping. We're experienced with the failure points of each material and recommend repairs — or targeted replacement — based on what will genuinely last.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a hidden leak?
Watch for higher water bills, damp or discolored walls and ceilings, musty smells, and the sound of running water when everything is off. The water meter test described on this page is a quick at-home check.
Will you have to open my walls?
Only when necessary, and only as much as needed. We locate the leak first so any access opening is small and targeted.
Availability and scheduling are confirmed individually. If you smell gas or there is immediate danger, leave the area and contact the appropriate emergency service first.
