No Leak Too Small, No Job Too Big
A hidden leak can start as a minor nuisance and quickly grow into a major plumbing emergency. At Alpha Plumbing, we use precise leak detection tools to locate water issues early and stop them before they damage your home.
Whether it’s a leaking wall hydrant, a failing hose bib, or a slab leak under the foundation, we bring the right tools and experience to fix it fast.
Most leaks start quietly. You might not notice anything until you see water damage or feel a soft spot in the floor. But there are early warning signs you should keep an eye out for. A sudden jump in your water bill is one of the first clues.
You may also hear the sound of running water even when all your fixtures are off. Discoloration on ceilings, bubbling paint, musty odors, or unexplained mold growth are all strong indicators that a leak is hiding somewhere in the system.
Leaks outside the home often show up near hose bibs, sillcocks, or wall hydrants. You might see puddles forming around the foundation or dripping even when the faucet is turned off. These issues not only waste water but can freeze and burst during colder months, leading to more extensive damage.
Even the smallest leak can create thousands of dollars in damage over time. A pinhole in a pipe behind a wall can lead to structural rot, mold growth, and ruined flooring. Outside, a slow drip from an old wall hydrant or a cracked sillcock can wear away at your foundation or attract pests.
Leaks in crawl spaces or slab foundations are even more dangerous because they go unnoticed for long periods. That’s why fast detection and repair is so important. The longer you wait, the more invasive and expensive the repair becomes. We help stop the problem at the source before it spreads.
We don’t rely on guesswork. Alpha Plumbing uses non-invasive technology to track down even the hardest-to-find leaks. Our team uses electronic leak detectors, acoustic sensors, and thermal imaging when needed. These tools let us hear the water movement, measure pressure changes, and see temperature variations behind walls, under floors, and in outdoor lines.
For leaks near outside faucets, hose bibs, or wall hydrants, we test pressure and use camera scopes to inspect the connection points and underground piping. This helps us pinpoint the break without having to dig up your whole yard or tear into walls unnecessarily.
One of the most common leaks we find in the Lexington area is around older outside faucets, especially hose bibs and sillcocks that have frozen and cracked over time. We replace these with upgraded frost-proof units and test the surrounding pipework to ensure there’s no hidden damage deeper in the system.
Inside the home, toilet supply lines, shower valves, and old galvanized piping are also regular trouble spots. Once we locate the leak, we give you clear repair options and get to work solving the issue quickly and cleanly.
If you’re not sure where a leak is coming from, don’t wait for it to get worse. We’re here to respond fast, find the source, and protect your home from further damage.
