With every fixture off, a moving dial or low-flow triangle means a leak.
Dye-test toilets
A few drops of food coloring in the tank show a leaking flapper.

Can you find a hidden leak without tearing out walls?
Usually we can narrow it down first with a meter test, a pressure test, acoustic listening and thermal imaging, then open only the spot that needs it. Our Leak Cost Calculator shows how fast a steady leak adds up.
What should I do if a pipe bursts?
Shut off the main water valve first, turn off the water heater if it is leaking, move valuables away from the water and call us. Photograph the damage before cleanup for your insurance claim. Our Symptom Finder can help if you are not sure how urgent a problem is.
How much does a plumber cost?
It depends on the job. Commonly published ranges run from about $150 to $450 for drain cleaning and many fixture repairs, $1,300 to $3,500 for a tank water heater replacement and thousands for sewer line or whole-house repiping work. A free estimate gives you a written price for your home.
