Insurance Claim Investigation

Homeowners with a leak problem inside their home may want to check with their insurance carrier for possible coverage of this issue.

Claim Adjusters will be supplied the full report with cause, original and estimated duration of the water leak promptly and accuratly.

Water & Drain Lines

On the water supply system, we can find leaks on the water service line, hot and cold supply lines inside the home, and under the slab.  We also find leaks on boiler systems (radiant and infloor), irrigation and well lines.

On the drain, waste and vent system we provide sewer video inspections for sewer and drain tile systems.  We locate the problem: break, obstruction, root intrusion or belly in the line causing slow draining or backups.

Sewer Odor Testing

This time of year it is common to notice sewer odor smells in homes and basements.  When the temperature gets colder, windows begin to shut, the heat comes on, and sewer odors are often noticed.  A constant sewer smell can indicate a break in a waste or vent pipe, a bad toilet seal or many other plumbing issues.  Testing methods are used to locate problem areas so they can be fixed and the odors can be eliminated from the home.

Swimming Pools, Spas, & Fountains

If your pool or spa is loosing water it's probably from a leak in the underground plumbing lines, vinyl liner, or possible structural cracks.  Our advanced electronic equipment quickly identifies the leak area with non-invasive techniques so repairs can be made.
