Gene's Plumbing handles leak detection across Clarks Hill and the surrounding area — licensed, insured and available for emergencies.
Leak detection in Clarks Hill starts with a meter check and a pressure test, which tells us whether water is leaving the system at all and roughly how fast. Only then do the listening devices and thermal camera come out.
Every house handles leak detection a little differently depending on its age, and Clarks Hill has plenty of both old and new. The fitting, the pipe material and the way the last plumber left it all change what the right repair is.
That is why the Clarks Hill truck carries parts for more than one era of plumbing. The leak detection job gets finished on the first visit wherever it can be, because a second trip costs you a day and costs us the trust.
The order we work in, and why.
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.
A gauge goes on the system, a camera goes down the line, or the meter gets checked with everything off — whichever actually answers the question. Nobody quotes a repair on a guess.
If there is a cheaper option that will actually hold, you hear about it. If the cheap option is a patch that fails in six months, you hear that too.
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 Clarks Hill before any work starts rather than an hourly rate that runs while you wait.
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 Clarks Hill work is done.

Feedback from customers who had this work done.
"Got a quote elsewhere for a full repipe at five figures. Second opinion here found two bad sections and a pressure regulator. Cost me a fraction of the first number."
"Hard water was eating our fixtures. Softener sized off the test, installed neat with unions so it can be serviced, and they showed me how to set the salt."
"Kitchen drain had been slow for a year. Ran the cable, then put a camera down and showed me the grease ring on his screen. Explained what to stop pouring down it. Has not backed up since."
