LEAK DETECTION & REPAIR
IN DOWNTOWN PORTLAND
Pinpoint hidden leaks before they cause real damage to your home. Dispatched to Downtown Portland around the clock - overnight, weekends and holidays, at the same flat rate as a weekday afternoon.
WHY DOWNTOWN PORTLAND NEEDS THIS
Downtown Portland is a full range - pre-1900 masonry, mid-century office towers, and modern high-rise, and commercial and high-rise systems with booster pumps, pressure zones and multi-storey risers.
Downtown is vertical, and vertical changes everything. Water has to be pumped up, waste falls under pressure, and a failure on the fifteenth floor damages fourteen floors on its way down. Buildings here have pressure-reducing valves and zone controls that do not exist in a house, and the person calling at 2 a.m. is a building engineer who already knows which riser is involved.
A hidden leak behind a wall or under a slab can run for weeks before it shows up as a stain, a warm spot, or a spike in your water bill — and by then it's often already causing damage you can't see. We use acoustic and pressure-based detection to locate the source precisely
