What to Do First
If water is actively leaking, shut off the fixture valve, or the main water shutoff, if you can do so safely. Avoid opening walls or cutting materials unless the source is clearly understood.

Under-sink leaks
Leaks under kitchen and bathroom sinks often come from supply lines, P-traps, or shutoff valves. We are preparing to find the source and give you clear options before any work begins.
Wall and ceiling leak signs
Water stains, bubbling paint, or damp drywall can signal a hidden leak inside a wall or ceiling. We are preparing to help trace the source and be honest about what can be confirmed without opening walls.
Pipe leaks
Copper, PEX, and older galvanized lines can all develop leaks over time. We are preparing to repair accessible pipe leaks and explain whether a localized repair or a larger fix makes sense.
Shutoff valve leaks
A dripping shutoff valve at a sink or toilet is a common, fixable leak that is worth addressing before it worsens. We are preparing to repair or replace leaking valves.
Catching leaks early
A jump in your water bill, musty smells, or warm spots on the floor can all point to a hidden leak. Shutting off water to the fixture or the main can limit damage until it is repaired.
What to expect
If you have an active leak, shutting off the water to that fixture or the main can limit damage. You'll get a clear assessment and options before any work starts.

Leak detail
Leaks — A Closer Look
Visible leaks vs hidden leak symptoms
Some leaks are obvious — a drip under a sink or a wet supply line. Others show up indirectly as staining on a ceiling or wall, a musty smell, soft or warped flooring, or a water meter that keeps moving when every fixture is off. Those indirect signs are worth investigating before damage spreads.
Fixture, valve, and supply line leaks
Many household leaks trace to a worn faucet cartridge, a failing toilet fill valve, a tired wax ring, a braided supply line, or an angle stop that weeps when touched. These are common points to check first.
Pressure-related leak concerns
Water pressure that runs higher than normal puts ongoing stress on fixtures, joints, and connections and can turn a small weakness into a recurring leak. When leaks keep returning, a pressure-reducing valve check can be part of the picture.
What to shut off first and when pipe repair is needed
For an active leak, shutting the fixture valve or the main water shutoff helps limit damage right away. A single failed connection may be a simple fix, while a leaking pipe in the wall or repeated pipe leaks point toward pipe repair. See our service areas.
