Leak Repair San Diego Trusted Local Plumbing Experts
When it comes to leak repair in San Diego, American Plumbing Co. | Plumber in San Diego is your trusted, licensed expert since 1983. Whether it’s a leaky pipe, faucet, drain, or slab leak, we provide affordable, professional, and fast service throughout the entire San Diego area.
Why San Diego Homes Leak More Than You Think
Many homes are in areas such as Clairemont, North Park, and La Mesa.
These properties often rely on aging water lines that corrode over time, especially under San Diego’s mineral-rich water conditions.
An emergency plumbing service from an experienced plumber is needed.
Pair that with under-the-slab piping, and you’ve got leaks happening beneath flooring, inside walls, or between joints that haven’t been touched in decades.
That’s why so many of our calls involve pinhole leaks. These aren’t just nuisances. A slow leak under your slab can lead to structural damage, because of water pooling under the slab, warped flooring, mildew behind drywall, foundation moisture problems, and months of rising utility costs before you even realize it
Signs You Might Have a Leak Even if You Don't See Water
Most leaks are usually the ones you can’t see. If you’ve ever asked, “Why is my water bill so high?” or “How do I find a hidden leak in my home?”
Check the water meter to see if the water dial is moving when no water is being used.
Listen for water running when no fixtures are in use. Watch for discolored paint, hot spots on the floor, or a sudden increase in your utility bill without a corresponding increase in usage.
Hot areas on the tile may signal a hot water slab leak. If that is happening, please call us to help you turn the hot water off.
