Electronic Leak Detection
Acoustic and electronic tools pinpoint the leak before anything is opened up, no exploratory cutting through good drywall.
The worst leaks are the ones you cannot see, behind a wall, under a slab, or out along the service line. By the time they surface they have usually done real damage. Pipesmith Plumbing locates leaks in Camas electronically, so the repair is targeted rather than exploratory. In the older homes near downtown it is most often failing galvanized supply. On the lower streets below the hill it is frequently pressure, Camas terrain drops a long way, and a house sitting at the bottom of that run can see static pressure high enough to keep blowing fittings until the regulator is dealt with.

A Grade From BBBAcoustic and electronic tools pinpoint the leak before anything is opened up, no exploratory cutting through good drywall.
The mill-era homes near downtown are still on mid-century galvanized. It corrodes from the inside, so patching just moves the next failure a few feet along.
Houses low on the Camas grade can carry very high static pressure. A failed PRV quietly wrecks fittings, valves, and appliances, we test it and replace it.
Active leak or burst line? We talk you through the shutoff on the phone, then get out and repair it, 24/7.

Whether it’s a small leak or a major plumbing overhaul, our team treats every job with the same care and professionalism.
Use your meter. Shut every fixture in the house off, then watch the low-flow indicator, if it is still creeping, water is escaping somewhere. Other giveaways are a bill that jumps for no reason, a warm or damp patch on the floor, a musty smell, or paint that starts peeling. We confirm and pinpoint it from there.
If you are low on the Camas grade, check the pressure before you replace another fitting. The elevation drop across town means houses at the bottom of a long run can sit well above the 80 psi that plumbing code allows, and a failed pressure-reducing valve lets all of it through. It is an inexpensive part causing expensive damage, and it is genuinely common here.
One leak on sound pipe, repair it. Repeated leaks on old galvanized, which is what most of the older downtown housing stock has, and a repipe usually costs less than several more years of patch jobs. We will show you what your pipe actually looks like inside and give you the honest comparison.
