Gene's Plumbing handles leak detection across Lockbourne and the surrounding area — licensed, insured and available for emergencies.
Leak detection in Lockbourne 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 Lockbourne 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 Lockbourne 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.
What happens from the first call to the final test.
A plumber asks the questions on the phone that narrow it down, so the right parts and the right machine are already on the truck when it arrives.
A gauge goes on the system, a camera goes down the line, or the meter gets checked with everything off — whichever actually answers the question. Nobody quotes a repair on a guess.
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.
Before the truck goes you see it working — the drain running, the pressure holding, the pit cycling — not just a thumbs up from the driveway.
The questions homeowners ask about this one.
It depends on what the diagnosis turns up, which is why you get a firm price for your leak detection job in Lockbourne before any work starts rather than an hourly rate that runs while you wait.

Feedback from customers who had this work done.
"Burst pipe in the crawlspace in January. He had the main off and the section cut out before I finished explaining. Pressure tested it in front of me before he closed it up."
"Tankless unit was throwing an error code every other shower. Descaled it, replaced a sensor, walked me through the yearly flush so I can do it myself."
"Bill jumped forty dollars with nobody home. They found a slab leak under the hallway in about twenty minutes with a listening device. No jackhammering until they knew exactly where."
