Warning signs
Signs you have a hidden leak
Most leaks hide inside walls, under floors or below the slab. These are the usual giveaways:
- A water bill that jumped with no change in use
- The sound of running water when every tap is off
- Warm or damp spots on the floor (a common slab-leak sign)
- Stains, bubbling paint or a musty smell on walls or ceilings
- Low water pressure throughout the house
- A water meter that keeps moving with everything turned off

Questions
Leak Detection FAQ
How does Blackwell Plumbing find a hidden leak?
Blackwell Plumbing confirms the leak first, then narrows down where it is before opening anything. In general, plumbers use pressure tests, listening equipment and visual checks to pinpoint a leak; your technician will explain the method they're using at your home.
What is a slab leak?
A slab leak is a leak in a water line that runs under a home's concrete foundation. Common signs are warm spots on the floor, the sound of running water and a rising water bill. Blackwell Plumbing offers slab leak detection and repair across Orange County and LA.
Will you have to break up my floor?
Not always. Blackwell Plumbing locates the leak before cutting anything, and depending on where it is, the fix may be a spot repair or a reroute. When concrete has to be opened, we handle the saw cutting, patching and restoration.
Can I get leak detection at night or on a weekend?
Yes. Blackwell Plumbing offers 24/7 emergency service. If water is actively leaking, shut off the main valve and call (562) 416-5779.
Stop the leak before it spreads.
