Gene's Plumbing handles leak detection across Sod and the surrounding area — licensed, insured and available for emergencies.
The point of leak detection in Sod is to open up one square foot instead of twenty. Locating precisely costs less than the demolition you avoid by doing it.
The expensive version of leak detection in Sod is the one that gets done twice — a patch that holds through spring, fails in the heat, and takes the drywall with it the second time.
Work in Sod is done to hold: proper materials, the joint pressure tested in front of you where the job allows it, and the area left clean. If the honest recommendation for your leak detection situation is the smaller fix, that is what you will be told.
How the job actually runs, start to finish.
The first conversation is about how urgent it really is. Some things need a truck tonight and some can wait until Tuesday, and you get told which yours is.
A gauge goes on the system, a camera goes down the line, or the meter gets checked with everything off — whichever actually answers the question. Nobody quotes a repair on a guess.
The quote covers parts, labour and haul-away, so the invoice at the end is the number you already agreed to.
Drop cloths go down first and the area gets left clean. Old tanks, fixtures and cut-out pipe leave with the truck.
Common questions, answered plainly.
It depends on what the diagnosis turns up, which is why you get a firm price for your leak detection job in Sod before any work starts rather than an hourly rate that runs while you wait.
Anything actively leaking or backing up is treated as same-day in Sod. Scheduled leak detection work is usually booked within two or three business days.
Drop cloths go down before anything starts, cuts are made as small and as clean as the leak detection job allows, and everything removed leaves with the truck when the Sod work is done.
You get a straight answer on that. Plenty of Sod customers are told their leak detection situation can reasonably wait a season, and plenty are told it cannot. The diagnosis decides it, not the sales value.
What homeowners said after this job.
"Burst pipe in the crawlspace in January. He had the main off and the section cut out before I finished explaining. Pressure tested it in front of me before he closed it up."
"Water heater let go on a Sunday morning and flooded half the basement. Had someone here inside two hours, new tank in by afternoon, and he hauled the old one off. Price was what he said on the phone."
"Good work on the sewer line, camera first so I could see the root ball myself. Took a day longer than quoted because of the rain, but they called me both mornings instead of leaving me guessing."
