FAQs
As a Columbus homeowner, my bathroom drain is constantly slow. Can you help, or is this just a normal buildup issue?
Yes, we can absolutely help. While bathroom drain buildup is a common local issue, persistent slow drains can sometimes indicate a deeper problem in your home's plumbing system, such as a hidden leak or blockage further down the line. Our service includes thorough plumbing inspections where we use specialized equipment to assess not just the drain itself, but the connected pipes. We can determine if it's a simple clog or a symptom of a more significant issue, like a damaged pipe under the slab, and provide the appropriate repair to restore proper flow and prevent water damage.
I'm planning a new pool installation in my Columbus backyard. Does your leak detection service play a role in that process?
Absolutely. Our expertise is invaluable both during and after a pool installation. With Steve's direct experience in pool and spa work since 1982, we understand pool construction intimately. We can assist with the irrigation and plumbing installation to ensure water and gas lines are properly integrated and pressure-tested for leaks before the project is finished. This proactive approach, part of our irrigation construction and design services, helps prevent costly leaks and water loss from the start, giving you peace of mind from day one.
My water bill in Columbus has suddenly spiked, but I can't find a visible leak. What's the first step you take?
The first step is a comprehensive assessment. A sudden high water bill with no visible leak is a classic sign of a hidden problem, which is our specialty. As the industry leader in non-destructive leak detection since 1974, we start by using advanced electronic listening devices and gas tracer equipment to perform a systematic inspection of your main water line, irrigation system, and under-slab plumbing. This method allows us to accurately locate pinhole leaks, cracked pipes, or faulty irrigation heads without unnecessary digging, saving you time, money, and your landscaping.
