Pros start by checking the water meter with all fixtures closed; if the dial still moves, the leak is on the supply side. They then use acoustic listening devices, infrared cameras, or pressure gauges on individual lines. For drain leaks, a smoke test or small video camera pushed through the pipe pinpoints the exact joint or crack.
A sudden spike in the water bill, warm spots on the floor, or the sound of running water when fixtures are off suggest a slab leak. Plumbers use electronic listening equipment, pressure gauges, or thermal cameras to pinpoint the broken section before any concrete is opened. Rerouting the line is often cheaper than breaking the slab.
Price depends on access (a crawl space costs more than a basement), the pipe material involved, the time of day (after-hours rates run higher), and whether parts are standard or specialty items. Permit fees, disposal of old fixtures, and the need to open and restore walls or floors also change the final invoice.
After-hours, weekend, and holiday service typically carries a premium of 50 to 150 percent over regular rates, plus a higher trip fee. Shut off the water at the main valve to limit damage before the plumber arrives. Keep towels, buckets, and the main shutoff location accessible to save the plumber time and you money.
Work like moving drain lines, replacing a water heater, or adding a new bathroom fixture usually requires a permit and an inspection. A licensed plumber knows the current code, including venting rules, trap arm length, and backflow prevention. Skipping a permit can void home insurance coverage after water damage.
Test the main shutoff valve twice a year to keep it operational. Drain 2 gallons from the water heater every 6 months to flush sediment. Inspect exposed supply lines under sinks for moisture or corrosion. Replace rubber washing machine hoses every 5 years with braided stainless steel versions to reduce burst risk.
Ask for the plumber's license number and verify it with your local licensing authority before any work begins. Confirm they carry general liability and workers' compensation insurance. A written certificate of insurance protects you if a fitting bursts or a worker is hurt inside your home. Reputable plumbers share these documents without hesitation.
Older properties often have galvanized steel or even lead supply lines that corrode internally, restricting flow and discoloring water. Cast iron drain stacks crack at the joints after decades of thermal cycling. Sump pumps, gate valves, and rubber gasket seals also degrade, so a plumber should inspect the full system, not just the visible leak.
Pressure below 40 psi at fixtures often points to a clogged aerator, partially closed shutoff valve, or a failing pressure reducing valve. Pressure above 80 psi stresses supply lines and may shorten water heater life. A plumber measures pressure at an outdoor hose bib with a gauge to confirm the issue.
