Leak Detection and Repair in Algonquin, IL

Leaks in Algonquin Homes
More than half of Algonquin homes were built in the 1990s and 2000s, and their leaks tend to start in a few places.
Supply Lines at the End of Their Life
Braided lines under sinks and toilets and washer hoses installed with the house are now 17 years old or more.
Upstairs Bathrooms
Two-story homes put bathrooms over living space. A slow leak shows up as a ceiling stain below.
Ice Makers and Water Heaters
A cracked ice maker line or a weeping water heater can soak a finished space before you notice.
Freeze Damage
Pipes over garages and in exterior walls can split in a cold snap. See burst pipe repair.

Leak Questions From Algonquin Homeowners
Turn off all water and watch the meter.
Turn off every fixture and appliance and watch your water meter. If it moves, there's a leak.
If they're original to a 1990s or 2000s home, yes.
Yes, if they're original. Braided supply lines and washer hoses don't last forever, and replacing them is inexpensive compared to a flooded floor.
Usually we pinpoint it first.
Usually. We use moisture meters and listening equipment to find the spot before opening a small area.
Usually. Get it checked before it spreads.
Usually, especially under a bathroom. It could also be condensation or a roof leak. We'll find the source.
It depends on the leak and access. The price comes first.
