Water bill nearly doubled and I could not find anything wrong. They found a slab leak under the hallway with a listening device, cut one small square of flooring, and fixed it. I was braced for a lot worse.

Water Leak Detection & Repair in Johnston, Iowa
Most Johnston leak calls start the same way - a bill that jumped, a warm spot on a floor, or a musty smell in a closet that will not go away. Any of those is worth a look. Water that has been moving inside a wall for months does more damage than the repair itself ever costs.
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.

Well water changes what you need
Homes outside the Johnston municipal supply often deal with iron and sulphur alongside hardness, and a plain softener will not handle all three. We test before recommending anything, because the wrong equipment on well water either fails early or does nothing.

Sink drained slow, laundry backed up, and it turned out to be the main. Jetted it and cameraed it after so we could see it was actually clear.

Faucet drip in the kitchen that two other people had failed to fix. Correct cartridge, ten minutes, done. Sometimes it just takes someone who carries the right parts.

Water Leak Repair in Johnston: 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 Johnston 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.
What should I do while I wait for the plumber?
For anything involving running water, shut the main valve off and open the lowest faucet in the house to drain the pressure. For a gas smell, get everyone outside first and call from there. For a backup, stop using every fixture in the house, not just the one that is blocked.
