We utilize non-invasive electronic leak detection technology in Washington. This includes electro-acoustic ground microphones that listen for pipe vibrations, infrared thermal imaging cameras that detect temperature variations caused by escaping water, and helium tracer gas for sub-slab pipe systems. This ensures pinpoint accuracy before any minor drywall or concrete opening is made.

If your water heater is under 8-10 years old and experiencing a faulty thermostat, failed heating element, or broken thermocouple, an affordable repair is usually recommended. However, if the internal tank is corroded, leaking from the base, or over 10-12 years old, upgrading to a high-efficiency tankless or hybrid system can save up to 40% on water heating utility bills. Our Washington plumbers will inspect your system and provide honest options.
