Leak Detection in Mercer Island, WA

Leak Detection in Mercer Island: what's different here
Lakefront homes sit low and close to the water table, and ridge homes have long, steep sewer laterals, so the plumbing approach depends on where the house sits. In older Mercer Island homes, leaks hide in walls, slab joints and crawlspaces. We use acoustic and thermal tools to find them without opening more walls than necessary.
Permits and inspections
Finding a leak needs no permit; repairing or rerouting the pipe sometimes does. Mechanical and plumbing permits in Mercer Island go through the City of Mercer Island Permit Center. When the work needs a permit, we pull it, schedule the inspection and leave you the paperwork.
Utilities
Most Mercer Island homes are on city water and sewer, so the main shutoff and sewer cleanout are usually easy to find.
