Gene's Plumbing handles leak detection across Stewartville and the surrounding area — licensed, insured and available for emergencies.
Leak detection in Stewartville 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.
Every house handles leak detection a little differently depending on its age, and Stewartville has plenty of both old and new. The fitting, the pipe material and the way the last plumber left it all change what the right repair is.
That is why the Stewartville truck carries parts for more than one era of plumbing. The leak detection job gets finished on the first visit wherever it can be, because a second trip costs you a day and costs us the trust.
How the job actually runs, start to finish.
Tell us what you are seeing, hearing or smelling. If water is actively running into the house, you get walked to your main shutoff before anything else is discussed.
Finding the real cause is what keeps the repair small. Opening one square foot of wall instead of twenty starts with knowing exactly where to open it.
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.
The repair gets made with proper materials, pressure tested where the job allows, and checked in front of you before anything is closed back up.

What homeowners said after this job.
"Shower valve had been dripping for years and two other plumbers said the whole wall had to come out. These folks changed the cartridge and the valve body through the existing opening."
"Disposal was humming and jammed. Fixed it rather than replacing it, which I did not expect. Only reason for four stars is they arrived at the late end of the window."
"Sump pump died the week before a big storm. New pump and a battery backup installed in one visit. Power went out during the storm and the basement stayed dry."
