Meter and pressure tests
A meter test starts with every fixture off. A dial that still turns, or pressure that keeps falling, means water is leaving the system, and that tells the plumber where to begin.
Leak Detection and Slab Leak Repair in Hoboken
Leak detection is the search for water that is getting out of a pipe where nobody can see it, such as a wall, a ceiling, a floor, a slab or the line feeding the building. Fixing the leak comes after finding it.
Call and describe the damp patch, the stain or the high water bill that made you suspect a leak, and ask for a free estimate.
How we find and fix leaks
Leaks in walls and ceilings
A stain, bubbling paint or a damp smell can mark a leak in a wall or ceiling. Moisture readings narrow down where the plumber needs to open up.
Leaks under a floor or slab
Water escaping beneath a floor or a concrete slab can be traced with listening and pressure methods, so only the section that needs it is opened.
Service line leaks
Trouble on the line from the main into the building shows as a wet patch, weakening pressure or a meter that runs while every tap is closed.
Who owns the water line in Hoboken
Hoboken’s water main belongs to the city. From the main to the meter inside the home, the property owner owns and maintains the service line, which makes a leak along it the owner’s to fix.
Leak repairs and the construction code
The state code lists the repair of leaks involving the replacement of piping as ordinary plumbing maintenance, which is exempt from permit applications, inspections and notices to the enforcing agency.
A leak found in worn pipe can lead to a bigger job, so the repiping and emergency plumbing pages are there if you need them, and the homepage covers everything else.
