What are the signs of a slab leak?

Signs of a slab leak include a water bill that jumps without explanation, a water meter that moves with every fixture off, warm spots on the floor, the sound of running water, and damp or cracked flooring. Tuskin Plumbing uses electronic leak locating equipment to pinpoint slab leaks before opening anything.

How do you find a hidden water leak?

Tuskin Plumbing finds hidden leaks with electronic locating equipment that listens for and traces water moving through pipes in walls, under slabs and underground. Pinpointing the leak first means a smaller repair and less damage to your home.

When should I repipe my house?

It's time to consider repiping when you're fixing pinhole leaks again and again, the water is rusty or discolored, pressure is low across the house, or the home still has galvanized steel pipe, which was common before the 1970s. A repipe replaces the supply lines with new PEX or copper. Tuskin Plumbing offers 0% financing on qualifying repipes.

Do I need a permit to repipe or replace a water heater in LA?

In general, yes. Water heater replacements, repipes and gas line work in Los Angeles and most surrounding cities require a permit from the local building department. Requirements vary by city, so ask about permits when you get your quote. This is general information, not legal advice.
