Gene's Plumbing handles leak detection across Arden and the surrounding area — licensed, insured and available for emergencies.
Leak detection in Arden 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 Arden 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 Arden 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.
How the job actually runs, start to finish.
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.
Common questions, answered plainly.

Real reviews from real service calls.
"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."
"Water heater let go on a Sunday morning and flooded half the basement. Had someone here inside two hours, new tank in by afternoon, and he hauled the old one off. Price was what he said on the phone."
"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."
