OUR LEAK-FINDING & REPAIR PROCESS

Non-destructive leak locating, clear pricing, same-day repairs when possible.

Step 1

Arrival & Safety Check

We confirm an arrival window and text when we’re en route. On site we shut isolation valves and protect floors and cabinets.

Step 2

Leak Locating (Non-Destructive First)

Moisture meter and thermal camera to trace wet paths; acoustic listening for pressurized lines; dye tests for toilets; meter checks for slab/hidden lines. When it’s in the drain path, we scope with a camera.

Step 3

Diagnose & Show You the Source

You’ll see photos/video of the leak point (supply, fixture, trap, drain, valve, or building envelope issue). We explain the “why,” not just the “where.”

Step 4

Clear Written Options

Good/Better/Best with firm installed prices: repair, replace, or monitor. If walls need opening, we cut clean access and keep debris controlled.

Step 5

Repair & Verify

Repairs may include new shut-offs/supply lines, wax ring or flange repair, cartridge/valve rebuild, trap or drain repair, copper/PEX fixes, or PRV/main shut-off replacement. We re-pressurize and moisture-scan to confirm dry.

Step 6

Prevention & Paperwork

We leave simple prevention tips, part warranties, and (if needed) insurance-ready notes/photos.

Hamilton Leak Repair: Safe DIY Checks, Precise Diagnosis & Lasting Fixes

Start with the safe checks below, see how we find the source (non-destructively), and when a camera matters.

SAFE DIY CHECKS

Some leaks show up as a pressure problem first. If you’re noticing water pressure low in house plus any leak signs, use our low water pressure guide to identify whether it’s a fixture clog, valve issue, or a bigger system problem.

  • Shut the water at the nearest stop valve or the main if needed.
  • Dry the area and place a towel or tray so you can see fresh water show up.
  • Toilet leaks: add a few drops of food dye in the tank and wait ten minutes. Colour in the bowl means the flapper or seat is leaking.
  • Faucet or under-sink leaks: run water and watch the P-trap, supply hoses and shut-offs.
  • Ceiling drip under a bathroom: run one fixture at a time to see which causes the drip.
  • If water is near electrical, do not touch. Call us
    at 905-928-6831.

FAQ — Leak Repair IN HAMILTON

Shut the nearest angle stop or the home’s main water valve, put a towel/bucket under the drip, and take two clear photos (source and surrounding area). Avoid tape or sealants—they hide the issue and slow diagnosis.

Condensation shows up on cold lines/tanks in humid rooms and doesn’t move or grow. Active leaks reappear after drying, leave mineral staining, or show on ceilings below. We confirm with a moisture meter and pressure tests.

Not usually. Most toilet leaks are failed wax rings, tank-to-bowl bolts, or fill/flush valves. We reseal or rebuild; we only recommend replacement for cracked bowls/tanks or recurring movement at the flange.

Packing nuts, aging stops, or a failing PRV (pressure-reducing valve) can leak. We replace to code and set household pressure (typically 55–65 psi) to prevent fixture damage and future leaks.

Yes. We cut back to sound pipe and install code-correct copper or PEX with proper supports. For repeated pinholes, we check pressure, grounding, and water chemistry to stop the cycle.

Only if testing proves a plumbing failure behind the wall. We first test the valve, arm, and pan to rule out caulking or surface water so you don’t rip out good tile.

Insurance often covers resulting water damage, not the repair of the failed part. We document with photos and provide a written invoice/scope that makes claims easier.
