Recent El Portal feedback
Low pressure through the whole house. Turned out to be a partly closed main valve from previous work. They could have sold me anything and didn't.
Water main leak in the front yard. Small hole, quick repair, and they raked the grass back over it before they left.
Garbage disposal was humming and dead. They freed it, checked the trap arm, and told me it had years left rather than selling me a new one.

Leak Detection in El Portal: common questions
How do I know I have a hidden leak?
Shut every fixture off and watch the meter. If the low-flow indicator still turns, water is going somewhere. A bill that jumped without a change in habits, a warm spot on the floor, or the sound of running water with everything off are the other common signs.
Will you have to break up my floor to find it?
No. Location comes first, using acoustic listening and thermal imaging, and we mark the spot on the surface. Only then does anything get opened, and the opening stays as small as the repair allows.
Can you detect a pool or irrigation leak?
Yes, and it is worth ruling those out early because they often present as a mystery water bill with no wet spot anywhere in the house.
Do you provide a report for my insurance?
Yes. You get written findings with photos and the location marked, which is what most carriers ask for.
What is a slab leak?
A leak in a supply line running under the concrete foundation. It is common in El Portal homes on slab and it shows up as warm flooring, unexplained water use or damp carpet edges.
What should I do while I wait for the plumber?
For an active leak, shut off the water. Most El Portal homes have a main shut-off near the meter at the street or on the wall where the service line enters. For a single fixture, use the small valve behind it. If you cannot find either, stay on the line and our dispatcher will talk you through it.
Do you handle both homes and businesses in El Portal?
Yes. Residential work is the bulk of what we do, and we also cover restaurants, offices, retail units, warehouses and multi-family buildings around El Portal. Commercial work can be scheduled before opening or after close so you do not lose trading hours.
