Signs You Have a Leaking Water Line
Water line leaks are often difficult to notice right away since they’re hidden behind your walls or ceiling. Some homeowners aren’t aware of a leak until months or years later.
Proactive homeowners can catch leaks before they have a chance to result in major damage. Look out for these warning signs of a hidden water leak:
- Sudden increase in your water bill
- Musty or moldy odors
- Bubbling or peeling wallpaper
- Sagging floors or ceiling
- Water meter running nonstop

Why Immediate Leak Detection and Repair is Crucial
A minor leak may seem inconsequential and not a cause for immediate concern. But a leaking pipe is not as trivial as a leaking faucet. Water line leaks, although they can start out small, can eventually turn into a burst pipe emergency if neglected for too long. Hidden leaks can also invite mold growth and affect your health.
This is why we encourage homeowners to get leaking pipes inspected and fixed as soon as possible. Early leak detection can help you avoid unexpected plumbing disasters while allowing you to enjoy greater peace of mind.
Customer Reviews
Sunday we had water leaking. I called them on Monday. MasterTech initially scheduled us on Wednesday. Later they called me and said they could send... a tech in 1 hour. It is a surprise, a good surprise. Chad came in time and got the job done in 1 hour. He also gave us some good advice to prevent pipe freezing. So far, the work is good ( it is Tuesday now). I am satisfied with the company and Chad.read more

Had a great experience with MasterTech recently. The water heater in my house needed replacing. I bought the replacement myself, but wanted... professional installation. The technician assessed the job quickly and accurately and was right on time. When the time came to do the replacement, he was again right on time. When he left, we had functional hot water, a shiny new heater, and absolutely no mess to speak of. John was extremely professional and friendly, and was willing to answer any questions I had thoroughly and, I felt, honestly. The price seemed fair based on the work and the average cost in the area. Definitely recommend, but always suggest doing comprehensive research for any job you need done!read more

The were on time, did an excellent job and were reasonably priced. What more can you ask for? I would definitely hire them again. I hired them again... since then (6-21-20) and they were great again. I won't hire anyone else.(6 months later) There was a problem with something they installed (not their fault). They came out immediately, fixed it and there was no charge. You can really depend on this company. I highly recommend them.read more

For a perfect 5 star I would expect above and beyond what I expected. And yes I know that isn't exactly a coherent thought. Our issue was fixed and... our tech was amazing and spot on, he did exactly what we asked of him, and then some! He helped us shim our toilet as well because it was rocking a little.Honestly because of that extra effort he put in I am going to change it to a 5 star. Awesome work Mastertech.read more

I cannot speak highly enough of Master Tech and their staff. It's currently -8 and I woke up to my home at 54 degrees. I left a voicemail for MT at... 7:30 and received a call at 8:08 AM and a technician was at my home at 9:40 AM. Snow was blocking my external exhaust on the home, so it couldn't create combustion to turn on the furnace. The fix was rather simple, but took time and thinking through the problem. Tyler was amazing. The service was 10/10 and he really took the time to explain to me what was happening. I have a monthly service plan with this company too - that I started in October - and it's been great. They are always on time, professional, reasonably priced and so good at their job. I cannot recommend them enough!!read more

Nate is amazing!!!We had a running toilet and a broken water shut off valve on a Sunday. He called and walked us through how to shut everything off... until he could get there. Once here, he took the time to show us how to do everything he was doing. It’s so nice learning from a pro! He had us up and running in no time. Highly recommend Nate!read more

Tyson was excellent!! He was patient working with the various options and being candid about the costs of each. Not in a rush. Very personable. ... Very professional. We have had similar experiences with other techs sent to us. Came within an hour of the call. I think Master Tech pricing is a bit high, but all of the above make it worth it.read more

Water heater wouldn’t stay lit. Called MasterTech, after calling a couple other plumbers I knew (right before Christmas). Got no answer from the... others, but MT answered the first try, and set up an appointment then and there. Chad came out, and cleaned up the old water heater to see how it worked before just replacing it. If need to replace, the cost of the first visit goes toward. I’m happy to say, I have hot water for the holidays! Thanks so much Chad for your friendly professionalism, and effective work.read more

We would like to commend the folks at MasterTech for their excellent service to our family last week. We had a couple of routine procedures scheduled... and fulfilled during the day. One of them presented a challenge, but Chad saw it through until he was satisfied that it was running well. Later on that night, a major problem suddenly occurred with a different part of the plumbing system: a pipe burst and water flooded the bathroom, sending a stream of water into one of the bedrooms and soaking most of the carpeting. After failing to be able to control the situation ourselves, we made a panicky call to MasterTech, whereupon the woman who answered offered assurance and got help on the way. Nate arrived and immediately went about shutting off the water flow, repairing the problem, keeping us informed, and making sure everything was secure. We are dealing with the aftermath (clean up, new carpeting), but wouldn’t be in as good a position as we are without the as-prompt-as-possible emergency service, professional abilities, and customer care exhibited by the MasterTech people we dealt with that day. Thank you all for your commitment to a job well done and a true concern for your customers! --David and Candy Megahanread more

After a discussion we decided to replace the entire kitchen... faucet (installed in 2004) since it leaked and was installed backwards with new shut off valves as well as replace the shutoff valve to the dishwasher. What a professional job he did! Josh is a very personable guy that helped make his visit memorable. Great job Josh!I will be highly recommend MasterTech for your plumbing needs.read more
