Small leaks often go unnoticed until they create big problems. Some of the most common warning signs include unexplained increases in your water bill, the sound of running water when no fixtures are on, damp spots on ceilings or walls, and musty odors that point to hidden moisture. Outside, leaking hose bibs, sillcocks, or wall hydrants may leave puddles around your foundation or create mold along siding. By recognizing these early signals, you can catch leaks before they escalate into major repairs.
Even a pinhole leak can waste hundreds of gallons of water each month, driving up your utility costs. Left unchecked, that water can damage drywall, flooring, and cabinetry, leading to costly renovations. Leaks in an outside faucet can also seep into the soil around your home, weakening your foundation and encouraging mold growth. The longer a leak is ignored, the more extensive the repairs become. Not just to plumbing, but to the structure of your home. That’s why our team stresses fast action and same-day solutions whenever possible.
Our plumbers rely on more than just a visual inspection. We use specialized tools like electronic leak detection sensors, infrared cameras, and moisture meters to pinpoint hidden leaks with precision. This technology allows us to locate the problem behind walls, under slabs, or inside ceilings without unnecessary demolition. Once the source is identified, we repair it quickly and restore your plumbing system to proper working order.
Among the leaks we see most often in Myrtle Beach are worn-out hose bibs, leaking sillcocks, and faulty wall hydrants. These fixtures are exposed to weather and heavy use, making them prone to wear over time. Indoors, dripping faucets and hidden pipe leaks behind walls are also frequent culprits. In most cases, our repair process involves replacing worn washers, tightening loose connections, or swapping out damaged sections of pipe. When larger issues are found, such as corroded lines, we provide lasting solutions like repiping to prevent future problems.
