Water actively leaking?

If you can do so safely, shut off the water at the fixture or the main valve and keep clear of electrical items near the water. Then call (626) 826-7743. If you smell gas, leave the area and call your gas utility or 911.

Know the warning signs

Signs You May Have
A Hidden Leak

01

Water stains or moisture

Stains, damp patches, or peeling paint on walls, ceilings, or floors can be a sign that water is escaping from a pipe.

02

Unexpected water usage

A water bill that rises with no change in how you use water is worth investigating.

03

The sound of running water

Hearing water when every fixture is off can point to a leak somewhere in the plumbing.

04

Dampness under fixtures

Moisture in a cabinet under a sink or around a fixture can come from a leaking connection or drain.

05

Visible supply-line leaks

Drips or moisture on an exposed supply line or fitting are a clear sign something needs attention.

06

Musty odors

A musty smell near a wall, floor, or cabinet can come from moisture that has been sitting there.

Two different steps

Finding The Leak Is Not
The Same As Fixing It

Identifying The Likely Source

Water can travel before it shows up, so damage is not always right where the leak is. The first step is working out where the water is coming from.

Deciding On The Repair

Once the likely source is clear, the right repair depends on what is leaking and what condition the surrounding plumbing is in. Romero Bros explains your options so you can decide.

A leak that is actively running, or that is damaging walls, floors, or ceilings, should be looked at promptly. If you are not sure how urgent your situation is, call and describe it.

Questions

Leak Detection
Questions

How do I know if I have a hidden leak?

Common signs include water stains or damp spots, a water bill that rises without a change in use, the sound of running water when everything is off, and moisture under fixtures. None of these confirm a leak on their own, so an inspection helps.

My water bill went up. Could it be a leak?

It can be. A higher bill with no change in how you use water is one of the signs of a leak, though other things can also cause it. Call and describe what you are seeing.

Is finding a leak the same as repairing it?

No. Finding the likely source is one step, and deciding on the right repair is another. Romero Bros works out where the water is coming from first, then explains your repair options.

What should I do right now if a pipe is leaking?

If you can do so safely, shut off the water at the fixture or the main valve and keep clear of electrical items near the water. Then call a plumber. If you smell gas, leave the area and call your gas utility or 911.

Can Romero Bros repair the leak once it is found?

Romero Bros handles plumbing repairs, such as water line and under-sink repairs, and can talk through the right fix once the source of the leak is known.

Does every leak cause visible damage?

No. Some leaks stay hidden, and damage does not always show up right where the water is escaping. That is why moisture, odors, or unexplained water use are worth checking out.
