When you’re looking for a good San Fernando leak detector, here are the top 10 things to look for and ask before you hire:
1. Check out their reviews online.
2. See how long they have been in business.
3. Ask them what type of leaks they specialize in.
4. Do they guarantee they’ll find the leak?
5. Do they detect & fix the leak?
6. Do they specialize & work with homeowners’ insurances?
7. What are their costs in detecting leaks? A low and high estimate?
8. Do you offer same day service?

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF LEAKS IN SAN FERNANDO?
This can vary depending on the type of leak you have. Slab leaks are the most common leaks we go out to. This is due to the type of copper pipe that was installed, water quality, corrosion, nail, or a screw penetrated through the pipe.
Here at Twin Home Experts Leak Detection, we access the water system first before we begin the process. It’s imperative to get an understanding of the entire system which gives us the precise direction to go forward in and what type of detection equipment is going to be used.
Have you ever wondered why?
Here are the top 7 “warning flags” you should be looking for when hiring a drain or plumbing company:
- The technician shows up and states he cannot clear the stoppage now but can do a SPOT repair and will return later to complete the job.
- The drain technician states he needs to call out another technician to run the sewer camera.
- The technician states his sewer cable is stuck in the line and the line will have to be dug up to get it out.
- The technician shows you water in the line and says that the camera cannot pass through so the only option is for the line to be extracted.
- You are told that the line is going to collapse and it needs immediate attention.
- The company is offering a low drain cleaning fee with a limited time offer and a guarantee that the line will be cleared.
- The technician is not giving you the exact location and depth of the problem.
Here are a few tips you can do before you call out a San Fernando leak detector:
1. Call your local DWP to verify you do in fact have a leak.
2. Check your water meter. If you see the needle moving when no water is running then you have a leak.
3. Shut your water valve off to the hot water heater, test meter, and then the cold water main then check the meter.
4. Shut your irrigation valve off, then check the meter.
These tips can help you determine which system is leaking: hot, cold or irrigation.This helps to cut off the time spent once the detection company arrives. Also, it gives them more respect for you as a property owner.
