Gene's Plumbing handles leak detection across Francisco and the surrounding area — licensed, insured and available for emergencies.
A leak you can see is the easy one. The expensive leaks in Francisco are under the slab, inside a wall or buried in the yard, quietly running up the bill and soaking the structure.
Most leak detection calls in Francisco arrive later than they should have. There is a sign first — a sound, a smell, a bill that crept up, a stain that was not there last month — and the repair stays small for exactly as long as it takes somebody to act on it.
So a Francisco visit starts with finding out what is actually happening before anything is opened up or torn out. You get the diagnosis, a price for the leak detection work, and a plain answer about whether it needs doing now or can reasonably wait.
What happens from the first call to the final test.
A plumber asks the questions on the phone that narrow it down, so the right parts and the right machine are already on the truck when it arrives.
The diagnosis gets shown to you, on a camera screen or a gauge face, so the price that follows has something visible behind it.
You get a number for the repair before a wrench moves, and it holds. No hourly meter running while you stand in the doorway watching.
Before the truck goes you see it working — the drain running, the pressure holding, the pit cycling — not just a thumbs up from the driveway.
The questions homeowners ask about this one.
It depends on what the diagnosis turns up, which is why you get a firm price for your leak detection job in Francisco before any work starts rather than an hourly rate that runs while you wait.
Yes. leak detection in Francisco is done by a licensed, insured plumbing contractor who pulls whatever permits your municipality requires, and the licence number is on your invoice.
Drop cloths go down before anything starts, cuts are made as small and as clean as the leak detection job allows, and everything removed leaves with the truck when the Francisco work is done.
If the situation is urgent, yes — Francisco emergency calls are answered day and night, and the first priority is stopping the water before the leak detection repair is started.
Feedback from customers who had this work done.
"Burst pipe in the crawlspace in January. He had the main off and the section cut out before I finished explaining. Pressure tested it in front of me before he closed it up."
"Our water smelled like sulfur since we moved in. They tested it instead of guessing, put in the right filtration, and the smell was gone the same day."
"Solid water heater install. Price fair, work clean. Would have liked a little more warning on the arrival time, but the job itself was right."
