The most reliable early indicators are an unexplained water bill increase and a water meter that moves with all fixtures off. Other signs include running water sounds when nothing is on, warm or wet spots on concrete floors, soft or discolored drywall, and mold or mildew smell without an obvious source.

Yes. Slab leaks in Fountain homes are typically detected using acoustic listening equipment that identifies the sound of water moving through a pipe below the concrete. We locate the leak as precisely as possible to minimize the concrete access required.

Not as a first step. We use electronic and acoustic detection tools to narrow the leak location before making any access. In many cases we can pinpoint the leak well enough to make a small, targeted opening.

Fountain’s hard water accelerates pitting corrosion on copper pipe, making pinhole leaks more common here than in softer-water communities. Freeze-thaw cycling stresses fittings in pipes near exterior walls and in crawl spaces.

WireNut gives you a flat-rate price for the leak detection service. The cost of the subsequent repair depends on what the detection reveals. We keep both prices separate and transparent.

Once located, we give you a flat-rate price for the repair, explain the access required, and complete the work the same day in most cases.

Yes. Hard water pitting corrosion on copper pipe creates pinhole leaks that are particularly common in Fountain homes with original copper plumbing. If your home is more than 20 years old and on copper, it is worth being alert to the early warning signs.
