Leak Detection Lakseide, California
A leaky faucet or toilet is pretty obvious. But a leak hidden behind a wall, ceiling, or slab can often be tricky. Sometimes you notice some mold or water staining, but sometimes your only clue is a jump in your water bill. If you suspect a leak, it’s important to call in a Lakeside expert. Otherwise that leak could lead significant health and water-damage issues, including harm to your buildings very structure.
Besides the experience and training of our master plumbers, we have electronic leak detection equipment. We’ll go straight to the problem, without a lot of false-tries that require unnecessary wall or other patching afterward.
Slab Leak Repair
The vast majority of buildings in Lakeside have a concrete slab as the first floor. Leaks from water or sewer lines underneath are double trouble. First, they’re hard to locate. Second, slab leak repair most often involves breaking through the concrete. Combined, they mean that you need true experts in leak detection and location to keep costs and disruptions to a minimum.
Even knowing for sure that you have an under-slab leak can be difficult, especially since the slab is usually covered by carpet or laminate flooring. You may notice a warm spot on the floor from a hot-water leak, or perhaps unexplained mildew on the carpet. You might even notice cracks in the wall or ceiling. Yes, a slab leak can lead to major structural damage if ignored.
Blue Planet will save you time, money, and trouble. As with other leak repair, our expertise means we can go straight to the problem without breaking through the slab in multiple places (an unacceptable extra expense). Once we’ve located the leak, we’ll discuss the options and our recommendations with you before proceeding. The main slab leak repair options are as follows.

- Reroute Installing new pipes that run around the slab rather than under it.

FAQ for Lakeside Residents
Is it safe to use Hydro Jetting on my older Lakeside home’s drain lines?
We prioritize the safety of your plumbing system. Before performing a Hydro Jetting service, we often use a Sewer Camera Inspection to confirm the integrity of your older pipes. This ensures we use the most effective cleaning method without causing damage to fragile or compromised lines.
My water heater is rumbling loudly. What does that noise mean?
Rumbling usually indicates a significant buildup of mineral sediment at the bottom of the tank, which is common with the hard water in the Lakeside area. This reduces efficiency and can shorten the life of the tank. We recommend immediate professional flushing and descaling to remove the sediment.
Do you handle the specific plumbing requirements for new home additions in Lakeside?
Yes. We work on all plumbing needs for additions and remodels, ensuring all new piping, fixtures, and appliances are installed to meet current local codes and integrate seamlessly with your existing system.
