Why leaks are priced in two parts
Finding a leak behind a finished wall or ceiling can take diagnostic work, so that part is billed for the time and materials it takes. Once we know where the leak is and what has to come apart to reach it, we give you the repair price, and nothing is repaired until you approve it.
If water is running right now, shut off the main, open a tap somewhere in the house to relieve the pressure, then call.
Call and tell us what you are seeing. We will tell you whether a visit charge applies before we come out.
How we find a hidden leak
Moen Flo smart water shutoff
The device sits on your main water line and learns your home’s normal water use.
It monitors water flow and pressure on the main line, all day.
It can tell a running leak from someone running a bath.
When it sees a leak, it closes the valve before the damage spreads.
You get an alert, wherever you are.
What it costs
All prices plus HST. You get the number before anything starts.

Questions we get asked
Shut off the water at your main if you can, open a tap somewhere in the house to relieve the pressure, then call us. Do not force a valve that will not turn.
Finding a hidden leak is billed for the time and materials it takes. Once we know where it is, you get the repair price before we fix it.

A smart water monitor and shutoff valve installed on your main line. It watches the flow and shuts the water off when it detects a leak. Supplied and installed, it is $1,800 plus HST.
Some insurers offer a small discount for having a leak detection and prevention device; check with yours.
We follow the water. Wet spots, stains and dripping lead us back to the source, and we open the wall or ceiling only where the water points. We don’t use acoustic (sound-based) leak-locating equipment. To catch the next leak early, we install smart shutoff devices like the Moen Flo, which watches your water use and can turn off the main when something looks wrong.
The most common cause is a running toilet, which can waste hundreds of litres a day without making much noise. To check for a hidden leak, turn off every tap and appliance and watch the small dial on your water meter. If it still moves, water is going somewhere.
Yes. Water lines under the concrete slab can leak where you can’t see them. The first signs are usually a damp patch on the floor, or a water meter that keeps moving when everything is off. We open the floor where the water shows up and repair or replace the line, opening only as much as the job needs.
No. We find and fix leaks in your home’s water lines, drains and fixtures. Pool leaks and refrigerant leaks in air conditioners need a pool or HVAC specialist.
Leak Detection & Smart Shutoff
Call during office hours, Monday to Friday, 7am to 5pm. If water is running now, shut off the main first.
