Leak Detection & Pipe Repair
Water leak detection and pipe repair, done right.
From a small drip behind a wall to a slab leak or a yard-line break, Cliff's Plumbing finds the source and repairs it with as little disruption to your home as the situation allows.
What we handle
Locating and repairing residential water leaks.
Hidden leaks do not fix themselves, and they rarely stay small. Cliff's Plumbing works on the full range of residential leak scenarios - from a single dripping shut-off valve to a slab leak that has been quietly running for months.
When the leak is hard to find, the right diagnostic approach is to isolate the system in sections until the pressure loss points to the right run. From there, the question is whether a spot repair or a partial repipe makes more sense - and that is a conversation, not a sales pitch.

Common signs to call
When something might be leaking.
Most leaks announce themselves eventually - either through a visible drip, a higher-than-normal water bill, or warm spots on a slab. The right response depends on the size and the location, and the only thing that makes it more expensive is waiting.
- Sudden jump in the water bill
- Sound of running water when nothing is on
- Warm spot on the floor
- Wet or greener patch in the yard
- Mold or mildew smell in a room
- Water meter still turning with fixtures off
