The Meter Test You Can Do Today
Suspect a leak but not sure? Turn off every fixture and appliance that uses water, then watch the small flow indicator on your water meter. If it still moves, water is going somewhere. Shut the valve at the house and check again: still moving means the leak is in the service line or irrigation, stopped means it is inside the house. That one distinction narrows the search dramatically, and it is exactly where our water line and leak crews start.
Slab Leaks in South Bay Homes
Thousands of local homes were built on slab foundations with copper supply lines running underneath, including the Eichler neighborhoods of Cupertino. When a hot line under the slab starts leaking, the signs are warm spots on the floor, the sound of running water with everything off, or a water heater that never seems to rest. We locate the line precisely, then talk through repair at the spot versus rerouting the line overhead, which often makes more sense on a system old enough to fail twice.
Old Galvanized and the Leak That Moves
Galvanized supply pipe fails from the inside out, and the first pinhole is rarely the last. If your home still runs on original galvanized, patching leak by leak becomes a subscription. At some point the honest recommendation shifts from repair to repiping, and we will tell you plainly when your system reaches that point. Our post on pre-1990 local homes explains how to tell what your pipes are made of.
Leak Detection Across the Area
We locate and repair leaks throughout Los Gatos, Saratoga, Monte Sereno, Campbell, and the hills, where long service runs make precise locating matter even more. The visit starts with listening equipment and pressure readings, and ends with a small, accurate opening rather than exploratory holes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you find a leak without tearing open walls?
We use acoustic listening equipment, pressure testing, and camera inspection to isolate leaks behind walls, under slabs, and underground, so any opening we make is small and in the right place the first time.
What are signs of a hidden water leak?
A water bill that climbs with no change in use, the sound of running water when everything is off, warm spots on floors, musty odors, or a water meter that moves when no fixtures are running. Any of these is worth a leak check before damage spreads.
Do you repair the leak as well as find it?
Yes. We are a full-service, licensed plumbing company (CA License 943556), so the same team that locates your leak can repair it, from a pinhole in a copper line to an underground service line replacement.
Is a slab leak an emergency?
It should be treated urgently. Water under a foundation can damage the slab and flooring, and moisture invites mold. If you suspect a slab leak, shut off the water at the main and call us. We answer emergency calls 24/7.
