Gene's Plumbing handles leak detection across North Salem and the surrounding area — licensed, insured and available for emergencies.
Leak detection in North Salem starts with a meter check and a pressure test, which tells us whether water is leaving the system at all and roughly how fast. Only then do the listening devices and thermal camera come out.
Every house handles leak detection a little differently depending on its age, and North Salem has plenty of both old and new. The fitting, the pipe material and the way the last plumber left it all change what the right repair is.
That is why the North Salem truck carries parts for more than one era of plumbing. The leak detection job gets finished on the first visit wherever it can be, because a second trip costs you a day and costs us the trust.
The order we work in, and why.
Tell us what you are seeing, hearing or smelling. If water is actively running into the house, you get walked to your main shutoff before anything else is discussed.
Finding the real cause is what keeps the repair small. Opening one square foot of wall instead of twenty starts with knowing exactly where to open it.
If there is a cheaper option that will actually hold, you hear about it. If the cheap option is a patch that fails in six months, you hear that too.
The repair gets made with proper materials, pressure tested where the job allows, and checked in front of you before anything is closed back up.
What people want to know before booking this work.
It depends on what the diagnosis turns up, which is why you get a firm price for your leak detection job in North Salem before any work starts rather than an hourly rate that runs while you wait.

What homeowners said after this job.
"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."
"Sewage backed up into the basement shower on a Friday night. They were out that night, cleared it, and came back Monday with the camera at no extra charge to make sure it was really clear."
"Kitchen drain had been slow for a year. Ran the cable, then put a camera down and showed me the grease ring on his screen. Explained what to stop pouring down it. Has not backed up since."
