Second opinion on a quote to dig up our whole sewer line. They cameraed it, found one bad section, and lined it for a fraction. Saved us thousands.

Water Leak Detection & Repair in Dubuque, Iowa
A hidden leak is expensive twice: once on the water bill and again on the drywall. In Dubuque we find leaks with acoustic listening gear, thermal imaging and pressure isolation rather than by opening a wall and hoping. The goal is a small, precise hole in one place instead of a large exploratory one in three.
Call (833) 435-9778 and describe what is happening. We will give you an arrival window before you hang up and a flat price before anyone starts work - the same price at 2am as at 2pm.

Winter splits pipes in the same places every year
The runs that fail in Dubuque are predictable: supply lines in exterior walls, anything crossing an unheated crawl space, and hose bibs left connected in November. Ice rarely bursts the pipe where it forms - it bursts it downstream where the pressure has nowhere to go, which is why the damage often shows up somewhere that never froze.

Toilet had been running for who knows how long. Quick visit, new flapper and fill valve, and my water bill dropped noticeably the next month. Wish I had called a year earlier.

Fair price, showed up when they said, and did not leave a mess. I do not know how to review a plumber more highly than that.

Water Leak Repair in Dubuque: common questions
How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?
Turn off every fixture and appliance in the house, then look at the water meter. If the low-flow indicator is still turning, water is going somewhere. That test costs nothing and is the first thing we ask Dubuque callers to do.
Can you find a leak without tearing up my floor?
That is the whole point of the equipment. Acoustic gear and thermal imaging let us mark the spot within a small area, so the access we make is measured in inches rather than feet.
What is a slab leak?
It is a leak in a water line running beneath a concrete floor. Warm spots underfoot, unexplained damp on a slab and a running meter with everything off are the classic signs. Repair is usually either a spot fix or a reroute above the slab - we price both.
Is a small drip worth calling about?
Yes. A leak that is small today is doing damage every hour, and inside a wall you cannot see it accumulating. Small leaks are also the cheapest ones to fix.
Do you serve the smaller towns around Dubuque?
We do. Our Dubuque coverage extends through the surrounding communities, and we run across the whole state, so being outside the city limits does not mean waiting longer or paying a travel premium.
