Washington Square has specific plumbing challenges that lead to leaks. The older housing stock, hard water, and compact lots all contribute. We see these problems every week and know how to solve them.
Many homes in Washington Square were built decades ago with copper pipe under the slab. Hard water scale corrodes the pipe, leading to leaks. The constant pressure from the soil also contributes.
Hard water scale builds up inside copper pipe, causing tiny pinholes. These leaks can spray a fine mist that damages drywall and insulation. They are common in Washington Square's older homes.
The compact lots and shared alleys in Washington Square mean sewer lines are close to trees and shrubs. Roots find their way into cracks and joints, causing blockages and leaks.
Underground leaks from irrigation lines or water mains can go unnoticed for weeks. The soil in Washington Square can shift, causing pipes to crack. These leaks waste water and drive up your bill.
If you notice any of these signs, you may have a hidden leak. The sooner you call us, the less damage you will face. We offer same day leak detection Washington Square CA homeowners can rely on.
Unexplained spike in your water bill
A sudden increase in your water bill often means a leak in a water line or irrigation system. Even a small pinhole leak can waste thousands of gallons a month. Call us to find it before it gets worse.
Warm spots on the floor
Warm spots on your floor usually indicate a slab leak. Hot water is escaping from a pipe under the concrete. This can damage your foundation and lead to mold. We use thermal imaging to confirm it fast.
Sound of running water when nothing is on
If you hear water running when all fixtures are off, you likely have a hidden leak. It could be a water line leak or a slab leak. We use acoustic listening discs to pinpoint the source.
Musty smell or mold growth
A musty smell or visible mold means moisture is trapped somewhere. It could be a pinhole leak in a wall or a drain leak. We use moisture meters and thermal imaging to find the source and stop it.
Cracks in your foundation or walls
Foundation cracks can be caused by a slab leak eroding the soil under your home. This is a serious issue that needs immediate attention. We find the leak and repair it to protect your foundation.

Washington Square's climate affects when leaks happen and how we find them. From hot summers to mild winters, each season brings different challenges. Here is what to expect.
Spring rains can saturate the soil and reveal underground leaks. Irrigation systems start up, and leaks from winter damage become apparent. We see more calls for irrigation leak detection and water line leaks.
Tip: Check your irrigation system for leaks before you turn it on. Look for soggy spots in the yard.
Hot weather increases water usage, putting stress on pipes. Slab leaks and pinhole leaks often show up in summer. Pool leaks become more noticeable as water evaporates faster.
Tip: Monitor your water bill for spikes. If your pool loses more than an inch of water per week, call us.
Falling temperatures can cause pipes to contract, making existing leaks worse. We see more slab leaks and water main leaks as the ground shifts. It is a good time to get a leak inspection before winter.
Tip: Schedule a leak detection inspection before the holidays to avoid emergency calls.
While Santa Ana winters are mild, occasional cold snaps can cause pipes to freeze and burst. We get calls for burst pipes and water line leaks. Rain can also saturate the soil and reveal underground leaks.
Tip: Insulate exposed pipes and know where your main shut-off valve is. If a pipe bursts, call us immediately.
