FAQ

Leak Detection & Repair in Chapel Hill: questions answered

Answered by our licensed technicians serving Chapel Hill.

How do I know if I have a hidden leak?

Common signs include an unexplained increase in your water bill, the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, warm spots on the floor (slab leak), musty odors, or discoloration on walls and ceilings. If you suspect a leak, we can confirm it quickly with a pressure test.

How much damage can a small leak cause?

Even a pinhole leak can release 5 to 10 gallons of water per day. Over weeks or months, that leads to mold growth, structural wood rot, damaged insulation, and ruined drywall. Early detection saves thousands in repair costs compared to waiting until damage is visible.

Do you repair slab leaks, or do I need a separate contractor?

We handle the complete process — detection, repair, and pressure verification. For slab leaks, we offer direct repair through the concrete, tunnel-under access, and full reroute options. We discuss the pros and cons of each approach for your specific situation.

Will my homeowner's insurance cover leak damage?

Most policies cover sudden and accidental water damage but not gradual leaks or maintenance issues. We provide detailed documentation including photos, pressure readings, and repair descriptions that help support your insurance claim. We recommend filing promptly after discovery.
