Frequently asked questions
How do you find a leak inside a wall?
We narrow it down by isolating supply and drain lines, then use moisture detection and listening equipment to pinpoint the spot before opening the wall.
There is a ceiling leak from an upstairs neighbor. Can you help?
We can inspect and repair plumbing in your own unit and document what we find. A leak from an upstairs unit usually needs building management involved so the source is located and fixed.
Can you fix a leaking pipe under my sink?
Yes. Under-sink leaks are typically a loose connection, worn supply line, failed trap or a faulty valve, and most are repaired in a single visit.
