These two services work together, but they solve different problems. Knowing which to call first can save you an unnecessary demolition bill.
Call a plumber first when
- You know exactly where the leak is
- A fixture or valve is visibly failing
- You need a pipe replaced or repaired
Call leak detection first when
- You suspect a leak but cannot see it
- The bill is high with no visible cause
- Damage appears in walls, ceilings, or floors
- You need a report for insurance
A precise location means the plumber only opens what needs to be opened. Many customers find that detection pays for itself in avoided repair work.
