Leak Detection in Fort Worth, TX

Need leak detection in Fort Worth? Fort Worth Plumbing handles leak detection across Fort Worth, TX and the towns around it — diagnosed first, with the part named and the price given before the work starts.

Leak Detection done straight

We work out which part has actually failed before anyone quotes a repair, we say so when the fix is something you can do yourself for nothing, and we leave every fixture we touched running, draining and dry underneath.

  • The price before the wrench — you hear what the repair costs, parts and labor, before any work starts.
  • The free checks come first — a tripped breaker, a reset button, a pilot that has gone out or a jammed disposal, talked through on the phone at no charge.
  • A valve is a valve — a worn part is not a reason to quote you a new water heater, a new toilet or a new sewer line.
  • The evidence is yours — the failed part on your own fixture, and the camera footage on any sewer line recommendation.

Water travels before it shows

Water follows pipes, joists and drywall before it soaks through, so a stain is often some distance from the leak that caused it. Cutting a hole under the stain and hoping is how a small repair turns into a large one. Fort Worth Plumbing narrows it down first: whether the leak runs all the time or only when a fixture is used tells you whether it is on the pressurized supply side or the drain side, and the water meter tells you whether water is moving when everything in the house is off. Only then does anything get opened, and only as much as the repair needs.

The meter test you can do yourself

Turn off every tap, appliance and irrigation zone, then look at your water meter. Most have a small dial or triangle, called a leak indicator, that turns with even a little flow. If it is turning with everything off, water is going somewhere: a running toilet, a dripping fixture you have not noticed, or a leak in a supply line. Check the toilets first, because a flapper that does not seal is the most common hidden leak in a house. If the toilets are quiet and the meter still moves, call us with what you saw.

Leak Detection questions

How do I know if I have a hidden leak?

A water bill that jumps without a change in use, the meter's leak indicator turning with everything off, the sound of running water when nothing is on, a warm spot on a floor, or a musty smell that will not go away. Any one of those is worth a call to (682) 255-3456.

Will you have to cut into my walls?

Sometimes, because pipes live inside walls and floors. What we avoid is cutting to search. The leak is narrowed down first, so any opening is made where the problem is and sized to the repair, and we tell you before we cut.

Is a slab leak an emergency?

Water under a concrete slab does not fix itself and can damage the slab and the floor coverings above it, so it should be dealt with promptly. If you can hear water running with everything off, or a section of floor is warm, close the main shutoff and call us.
