Gene's Plumbing handles leak detection across West Pittsburg and the surrounding area — licensed, insured and available for emergencies.
Leak detection in West Pittsburg starts with a meter check and a pressure test, which tells us whether water is leaving the system at all and roughly how fast. Only then do the listening devices and thermal camera come out.
Every house handles leak detection a little differently depending on its age, and West Pittsburg has plenty of both old and new. The fitting, the pipe material and the way the last plumber left it all change what the right repair is.
That is why the West Pittsburg truck carries parts for more than one era of plumbing. The leak detection job gets finished on the first visit wherever it can be, because a second trip costs you a day and costs us the trust.
What happens from the first call to the final test.
Tell us what you are seeing, hearing or smelling. If water is actively running into the house, you get walked to your main shutoff before anything else is discussed.
Finding the real cause is what keeps the repair small. Opening one square foot of wall instead of twenty starts with knowing exactly where to open it.
If there is a cheaper option that will actually hold, you hear about it. If the cheap option is a patch that fails in six months, you hear that too.
The repair gets made with proper materials, pressure tested where the job allows, and checked in front of you before anything is closed back up.
Common questions, answered plainly.

What homeowners said after this job.
"Burst pipe in the crawlspace in January. He had the main off and the section cut out before I finished explaining. Pressure tested it in front of me before he closed it up."
"Disposal was humming and jammed. Fixed it rather than replacing it, which I did not expect. Only reason for four stars is they arrived at the late end of the window."
"Got a quote elsewhere for a full repipe at five figures. Second opinion here found two bad sections and a pressure regulator. Cost me a fraction of the first number."
