Leak diagnosis in Charlotte, NC
Service visits start at $149 — a starting point, not a final estimate
A stain on a ceiling or a damp cabinet floor rarely tells you where the water is actually coming from. This visit is about finding the source — supply, drain, seal, grout or condensation — and giving you a straight answer about whether it's a handyman fix or a licensed plumber's job.
Mon–Fri 7:30am–7:00pm · Sat 9:00am–5:00pm · Sun 10:00am–3:00pm · General liability insured
What this typically includes
- Inspecting the visible area and the space directly below it
- Testing fixtures and drains under running water to reproduce the leak
- Checking supply connections, traps, seals and caulk lines
- A plain-English explanation of the cause and the realistic repair options
What can affect the final price
- Whether the source is visible or hidden behind a wall or ceiling
- Access — crawl space, cabinet interiors, second-floor ceilings
- Whether you want a small repair done in the same visit
- Any drywall that must be opened to confirm the source
What photos to send
- The full fixture and the surrounding counter, wall, or floor
- Close-up of the leak, drip, crack, or problem area
- Under the sink — connections and shutoff valves, if you can see them safely
- Any replacement faucet, disposal, or part, with the model label
- Photograph any water staining on the cabinet floor, ceiling below, or baseboard too.
- Photograph the stain or damp spot and the room directly above it
- Include a shot of when it's worst — after a shower, after running the dishwasher
Don't disconnect or take anything apart — just photograph what you can see.

How pricing works
Service visits start at $149 for this task on its own. We price standard jobs by the task, with a $149 minimum service visit. Add more standard tasks and their starting prices are totalled up; you get the final number in writing before work begins. See more in Small plumbing.
All prices are starting points. Scope, materials, specialty hardware, access, wall type, travel and parking, disposal, permits, and regulated-trade requirements may affect the final price. You'll always get the number before we start.
Charlotte coverage
This service is offered across Charlotte, NC and surrounding neighborhoods, subject to current availability. See the Charlotte service area.

Questions about this service
- Will you fix the leak the same day?
- Often yes if it's a fitting, trap, seal or caulk issue. If it's inside a wall or on the main supply, we'll tell you it needs a licensed plumber rather than guessing.
- Do you use cameras or moisture meters?
- We use a moisture meter and visual tracing. Full leak detection behind slab or wall lines is specialist work we'd refer out.
- Should I turn the water off in the meantime?
- If it's actively running, yes — shut the local valve or the main and tell us when you send the request so we can prioritize it.
