Water Leak Repair

A leak that's already showing on a wall or under the house has been running a while, so closing the main and having it traced beats waiting to see whether it grows.

When this becomes an emergency

What a pro does

Finding the leak is the job; fixing it is usually the quick part. The plumber shuts every fixture, watches the meter, and uses that reading to establish whether water is leaving the system at all and roughly how fast. From there the system gets divided, with sections isolated one at a time so the loss can be narrowed to a branch rather than searched for across the whole house. Crawlspaces make that easier here than in basement country, since most valley homes have one and a plumber can get eyes directly on the supply runs. Acoustic gear handles what's buried or in a wall. There's a local complication worth naming: a great many Treasure Valley properties have pressurized irrigation running separately from the drinking water service, on its own untreated line with its own backflow assembly, and a leak on that side doesn't register on the house meter at all. A wet patch in the lawn during the irrigation season points there more often than at the house service. Repairs get made in the material that's already in place, and the section gets pressure tested before anything is closed up.

Frequently asked questions

Turn off everything that uses water, including anything automatic like an ice maker, then look at the meter. If the dial or the low-flow indicator is still moving, water is going somewhere. That's a reading, not a diagnosis, but it's the single most useful thing you can hand a plumber.
Because on the many valley properties served by pressurized irrigation, that water arrives on a separate untreated system with its own delivery arrangement, not through the house meter. A break there can run for weeks without changing anything you'd notice on your city water statement.
It keeps untreated irrigation water from being drawn back into the drinking water supply if pressure drops. These assemblies are subject to local testing requirements, and they can leak or fail themselves, which is one of the more common sources of a wet spot near the connection point.
Under a house it does. Water dripping into a crawlspace doesn't drain away, it raises the moisture in the space and works on the framing and insulation above it. The wasted water is usually the smaller half of the problem.
