Finding a hidden leak
A leak you cannot see needs a provider who can find it before anything is opened. Tell us what you have noticed and where, and we connect you with one.
Leak Detection and Slab Leak Repair in Oceanside
A water bill that climbs for no reason, a damp stain with no pipe in sight or a floor that feels warm can each mean water is escaping where you cannot see it. Describe what you have noticed and we link you with a local provider.
Finding the leak comes first. The repair that follows depends on whether the water is escaping inside a wall, below a slab or along a yard line.
How leaks get found and repaired
Leaks under a slab
A line leaking beneath a concrete floor is a job for a provider who handles slab leaks. Say which rooms feel warm or damp, and ask the provider what the options are for your house.
Rerouting a failed line
A pipe that has failed in a wall or below a floor may need to be replaced rather than repaired. Where the new piping runs behind a wall or below a floor, the permit line described below comes into play.
Yard line leaks
A soggy patch of yard may be water from the line that serves the house. Describe where the ground stays wet and when it began.
Signs worth a call
Running water you can hear when every tap is off, a meter that keeps turning, stained or bubbling drywall and a floor that feels warm or soft are all reasons to ring. So is a bill that rises while the household stays the same.
Leak repairs and the permit line
The City’s exempt-work bulletin treats repairing a leak in pipes, valves or fixtures as work that needs no permit, provided it does not involve replacing or rearranging valves, pipes or fixtures. Replacing piping behind the face of the wall or below the floor does require one.
For pipes that have failed beyond repair, see repiping. For water that cannot wait, make an emergency call. The homepage lists the other services.
