Leak Detection & Water Leak Repair

Leak Detection in Milwaukee, Shorewood & the North Shore

If you’re seeing water stains, smelling mildew, noticing damp floors, or your water bill jumped for no reason, there’s a good chance you have a leak that’s been quietly doing damage. We find the source, explain what’s going on, and fix it the right way—without turning your house into a demolition project unless it’s truly needed.

• Leak detection for hidden leaks in walls, ceilings, and floors
• Water leak repair for supply lines, drain leaks, and fixture leaks
• Toilet leak repair and wax ring replacements
• Shower and bathtub leak repair (valves, spouts, surrounds, and more)
• Frozen pipe and burst pipe repair during Milwaukee winters

Toilets Are a Top Source of Hidden Leaks

A lot of “mystery high water bills” end up being toilet leaks. Toilets can waste a shocking amount of water without leaving puddles—especially when the flapper, fill valve, or overflow is misbehaving.

• Running toilet: the toilet refills randomly, or never stops running
• Leaking wax ring: water at the base, soft floor, or stains on the ceiling below
• Tank-to-bowl leaks: slow seepage that damages flooring over time

If you’re hearing a toilet “ghost flush,” seeing water near the base, or your bill is climbing—this is one of the first places to check.

Shower & Bathtub Leaks

Leaks around tubs and showers often come from failed waterproofing behind the surround, worn seals, cracked grout, or movement that lets water escape behind the wall. Sometimes it’s not the tile at all—it’s the plumbing.

• Waterproofing/surround leaks: water gets behind the wall and shows up as stains or soft drywall
• Shower valve leaks: moisture in the wall cavity, especially after use
• Leaking tub spout: dripping even when “off” can cause long-term damage and wasted water

If you have stains on the ceiling below a bathroom, musty smells, or bubbling paint—don’t ignore it. Small leaks become big repairs.

Frozen Pipes & Burst Pipe Repair

Milwaukee winters are brutal on plumbing. When a pipe freezes, the ice expansion can crack the pipe. The real mess often happens later—when it thaws and suddenly starts leaking inside a wall or ceiling.

• Frozen lines in exterior walls, basements, crawl spaces, and garages
• Burst pipes that leak after thawing
• Damage around hose bibs and poorly insulated runs

If you suspect freezing (no flow, weak flow, or a section of pipe feels icy), act fast—early intervention can prevent a burst.

Signs You May Have a Hidden Water Leak

• Unexplained high water bill
• Water stains on ceilings or walls
• Musty odor, mildew, or mold growth
• Damp spots or warm spots on floors
• Paint bubbling, drywall swelling, or soft baseboards
• Sound of running water when nothing is on
