Whether you are a new homeowner or a veteran, one of the worst things you might encounter is a leak in your home. Big or small, leaks aren’t a good thing. If you have a leak and it isn’t caught, it can lead to water damage and other big problems. It is easy to see that catching and addressing any leaks in your home as early as possible is definitely important.
That is easier said than done in most cases though. The thing with leaks is unless they are in the drain under your sink or coming from a faucet head, they are usually out of sight, at least until they cause damage and make you abundantly aware of their presence. Thankfully, there are some warning signs to watch for that will let you know that you may want to reach out for leak detection in the near future.
Stepping into your shower and finding that it to be partially filled with water already, even though the drain is un-plugged and it hasn’t been used since last night is a less than ideal situation, to say the least. The first reaction is going to be surprise and confusion, shortly followed by, most likely, a little bit of disgust because that pooling water has all the stuff you wanted to wash away!
For a state that doesn’t exactly see too much rain, flooding can be a pretty big issue for us. Every once in awhile, the rain comes in hard and we are left drenched and the areas around our homes are sometimes so oversaturated that they can’t handle all the water, leaving it to pour into our kitchens, living rooms, and garages.
You have been enjoying the occasional sun and warmth that has been hitting California and doing some gardening. The last time you went out to do some watering in your garden though, you noticed that your water meter seemed to be even more eager to get things wet than you are. By this, we mean that even after your hose is turned off, your water meter is still happily running on its own.
When you live in California, the topic of water conservation comes up often. We live in a desert state after all. Did you know that there are more ways to conserve water than just shortening your showers though?
Let’s be honest for a moment here: clogs are a pain to deal with. They literally put a stop to operations around your home and often it takes extra time to deal with them properly. The worst is when nothing you are doing gets rid of them.
The dishes are piling up in the kitchen sink but not because no one has tried to take care of them. It is actually because the sink hasn’t been working–there’s no water! You’ve checked for a leak under the sink but you can’t seem to find anything. So what is causing the problem?
It is a new year! 2020 is the year that many people are seeking to make the one that leaves them healthier and happier. We say right on! While we are on the subject of making improvements though, we would like to make a suggestion for a resolution that you might want to set for your home.

The family is coming to your house for a holiday party this winter. There is a lot to do and prepare for and the last thing you’d want to be dealing with right now is warped flooring or peeling walls. And yet, that pesky pinhole leak certainly took a toll before you discovered it. Now, right around the holidays, you are faced with figuring out the best way to deal with some less-than-subtle water damage.
