Water Leak Detection Done Right the First Time
Hidden leaks are the most expensive kind of water damage because they run for weeks before anyone notices. By the time a ceiling stain shows up or a hardwood floor starts cupping, the water has often soaked insulation, framing and subfloor across a much bigger area than what you can see.
We use thermal imaging cameras, pin and pinless moisture meters, and acoustic listening equipment to trace water to its source. The goal is to pinpoint the leak and map exactly how far moisture has spread, so cutouts are small and targeted, not exploratory.
In Napa we find a lot of leaks in aging galvanized supply lines in pre-1960 homes, copper pinhole leaks, failed shower pans, and slab leaks in homes built on concrete foundations in south Napa and American Canyon. After the 2014 South Napa earthquake, some homes were left with stressed pipe joints that still fail today.
