When you need this service in Nelson
- Water stain on ceiling — A brown ring on the ceiling below a bathroom usually means a supply line or drain leak above. We find the exact pipe without opening the ceiling.
- Damp drywall — Drywall that feels damp or shows bubbling paint has moisture behind it. We find the pipe source without cutting it open.
- Unexplained high water bill — Your water bill is the best leak detector. If it's rising without changing usage, a hidden pipe leak is the most likely cause.
- Musty smell in a room — Persistent musty odour behind a wall or under a floor means moisture is trapped. We find the pipe leak before mold becomes a health issue.
- Sound of running water — Hearing water when all fixtures are off? There's a leak. We use acoustic detection to find it even behind finished surfaces.
