A minor, accessible water leak can sometimes be fixed safely by a homeowner, but hidden, persistent, or structural leaks should be handled by a licensed plumber. The most common DIY-safe fixes are loose supply connections or worn parts on faucets or toilets where the shutoff valve works and the area is dry and open. If a drip returns after one careful tighten, that fitting may be cracked—not loose—and forcing it can worsen the leak. Our plumbers use non-invasive electronic leak detection and sewer cameras to pinpoint hidden leaks with minimal disruption, and we handle this type of work daily for homeowners throughout the Danville area.
Consider calling a pro if you notice:
- Stains, bubbling paint, or sagging ceilings or walls
- Warm floor spots, hissing behind walls, or running meter with fixtures off
- Repeated drips after one careful tighten or visible corrosion on fittings
Always shut off the water and protect nearby electricity before any attempt.
