Leak Detection in Kent
Wall and ceiling leaks under second-story baths in East Hill subdivisions, slab leaks in some Kent builds, crawlspace leaks in older valley homes. We trace before opening anything beyond what the repair requires.
Where Kent Homes Leak
Kent leaks fit a few common patterns. East Hill subdivision two-story homes generate ceiling-leak calls when a second-floor bathroom supply, toilet supply, or shower pan fails. Older valley-floor downtown homes leak at galvanized supply coupling joints. West Hill mid-century homes show pinhole copper. Slab leaks come up in some Kent builds.
Common Kent leak scenarios
- →Ceiling stain below second-story bath in East Hill homes: Usually a supply, toilet supply, or shower pan failure on the upper floor.
- →Failing galvanized at couplings in valley homes: Pre-1970 homes leak at the coupling joints first.
- →Pinhole copper in West Hill mid-century homes: A drip in a wall or ceiling stain.
- →Water bill spike with no obvious cause: Often a service-line leak, running toilet, or hidden supply leak.
- →Crawlspace leaks in older homes: Aging copper or galvanized supply.
