Pressure and meter tests
Close every tap and watch the meter and the gauge. If either keeps moving, the supply side is leaking, and the readings show whether the loss is inside the house or on the service line outside.
Leak Detection and Slab Leak Repair in Yonkers
Maybe the water bill climbed with no change in your habits, a brown ring is growing on the ceiling, or one patch of basement floor never dries. Each can come from a pipe hidden from view. We pin down where it is first, then open as little as possible to fix it.
Leak tracing is available in Yonkers, Mount Vernon, New Rochelle and White Plains, whether the water shows up on a ceiling, a floor or the monthly bill.
How we find and fix leaks
Listening for the leak
Acoustic equipment picks up the sound of water escaping a pressurized pipe through floors and walls, which narrows down where to open up.
Leaks under concrete
Concrete floors hide pipes well. We either break out a small square right over the leak and repair the pipe there, or abandon the damaged run and feed a new line through the walls or ceilings above the floor.
Leaks in the service line
Water pooling in the yard or a hiss at the meter can mean the line from the street is leaking. We repair it or replace it.
The service line in Yonkers belongs to you
The Yonkers Water Bureau states that property owners own and are responsible for the water service line from the house to where it joins the city’s water main, so a leak anywhere along that line is the owner’s to repair.
Frequently asked questions
Can a leak show up on the water bill before I see it?
Yes. Water lost from a hidden pipe still passes through the meter, so a bill that climbs while your use stays the same is worth a leak test.
When a leak points to supply pipes at the end of their life, repiping is the next page to read. A pipe that has burst calls for an emergency call instead, and the rest of our work is on the homepage.
