Gene's Plumbing handles leak detection across Lyman and the surrounding area — licensed, insured and available for emergencies.
Leak detection in Lyman starts with a meter check and a pressure test, which tells us whether water is leaving the system at all and roughly how fast. Only then do the listening devices and thermal camera come out.
The expensive version of leak detection in Lyman is the one that gets done twice — a patch that holds through spring, fails in the heat, and takes the drywall with it the second time.
Work in Lyman is done to hold: proper materials, the joint pressure tested in front of you where the job allows it, and the area left clean. If the honest recommendation for your leak detection situation is the smaller fix, that is what you will be told.
The order we work in, and why.
A plumber asks the questions on the phone that narrow it down, so the right parts and the right machine are already on the truck when it arrives.
A gauge goes on the system, a camera goes down the line, or the meter gets checked with everything off — whichever actually answers the question. Nobody quotes a repair on a guess.
If there is a cheaper option that will actually hold, you hear about it. If the cheap option is a patch that fails in six months, you hear that too.
Before the truck goes you see it working — the drain running, the pressure holding, the pit cycling — not just a thumbs up from the driveway.
The questions homeowners ask about this one.
It depends on what the diagnosis turns up, which is why you get a firm price for your leak detection job in Lyman before any work starts rather than an hourly rate that runs while you wait.

Feedback from customers who had this work done.
"Got a quote elsewhere for a full repipe at five figures. Second opinion here found two bad sections and a pressure regulator. Cost me a fraction of the first number."
"Old cast iron stack was leaking behind the wall. They cut it out and put in new, and were careful about dust with plastic and a fan. That mattered with a baby in the house."
"Burst pipe in the crawlspace in January. He had the main off and the section cut out before I finished explaining. Pressure tested it in front of me before he closed it up."
