Water Leak Detection and Repair: Expert Solutions to Stop Hidden Water Damage and High Utility Bills with Water Leak Detection and Repair

Hearing Hissing? Seeing Damp Spots? Call Jessy to Pinpoint and Fix Your Leak Fast. Providing expert plumbing services in Surrey, Vancouver, Langley, Delta and the surrounding areas.

Not every leak is an obvious flood. Often, the most damaging water issues are the ones you can’t see. A pinhole leak behind a wall or a slow drip under a slab can waste thousands of gallons of water and lead to catastrophic structural rot and toxic mold growth. At Jessy Plumbing & Heating, we specialize in non-invasive water leak detection and repair throughout Greater Vancouver. Using a combination of professional experience and advanced technology, we find the source of the moisture and provide a permanent repair that protects your home and your wallet.

Professional Diagnostic Methods

Strategic Visual & Auditory Inspection

We don’t just guess where a leak is; we use a systematic approach. By inspecting fixtures, checking for subtle water stains, and listening for the specific “hiss” of a pressurized line, we can often narrow down a leak to a specific wall or floor cavity. Our expert “eyes and ears” allow us to find the problem quickly, minimizing the need for large exploratory holes in your drywall.

Systematic Pressure Testing

To confirm a leak in your supply lines, we perform a precision pressure test. By isolating different sections of your plumbing system, we can see exactly which line is losing pressure. This definitive testing method ensures that we aren’t just fixing a symptom, but identifying the exact pipe that needs attention, whether it’s a main line or a branch to a single fixture.

Helpful Tips: Want to know for sure if you have a leak? Turn off all water-using appliances and fixtures in your home. Go to your water meter and look at the “low-flow indicator” (usually a small red or silver triangle). If that dial is spinning while the water is off, you have a leak. If you see movement, call us at 778-992-0750 immediately to prevent further damage.

Is Your Home At Risk?

  • Sudden Utility Spikes: Your water bill has increased significantly without a change in usage.
  • Warm Spots on Flooring: A warm patch on a tile or linoleum floor often indicates a hot water line leak beneath the slab.
  • Unexplained Mold: Damp smells or dark spots on baseboards and ceilings are clear indicators of moisture.
  • Low Water Pressure: A sudden drop in pressure can mean water is escaping the system before it reaches your taps.
  • Ticking Sounds: The sound of water dripping inside a wall or a “ticking” sound from expanding pipes after water use.

Expert Repair Solutions

Targeted Pipe Repair & Rerouting

Once the leak is found, we provide the most efficient repair possible. Whether it involves a surgical repair of a copper line or rerouting a compromised pipe through a more accessible area, we ensure the work meets all BC Building Codes. We use high-quality materials like Type L Copper and PEX to ensure the fix lasts for years to come.

Fixture & Valve Maintenance

Often, “leaks” are actually failing valves or worn-out seals in your toilets, faucets, or showers. We perform a full audit of your home’s fixtures to ensure your shut-off valves are functional and your seals are watertight. Preventing a drip today is the best way to avoid a major repair tomorrow.

Stop the Damage Before it Starts
