Warning signs

Signs of a leak you can’t see.

Hidden leaks do their damage quietly. These are the clues worth acting on.

  1. 01
    A higher water bill

    Usage that climbs without a change in habits often means water is going somewhere it should not.

  2. 02
    The water meter moves with everything off

    Turn off every fixture and watch the meter. If it still moves, there is a leak.

  3. 03
    Warm spots, stains or soft floors

    Damp or warm patches on floors and walls can point to a supply line or slab leak.

  4. 04
    Musty smell or new mold

    Moisture behind walls or under floors feeds mold long before you see water.

Leak already did damage? We fix that too.

Bear was the only one to answer the phone over the weekend. They had guys handle my entire insurance claim with the adjuster communication all the way thru where I was hands off.

Fast, fair pricing, and excellent communication. Bear fixed my plumbing issue quickly and it’s been working perfectly since. Will definitely be my first call next time.

After spending $330 with another company and being left with a still clogged drain… Bear had it cleared for less than half. Highly recommend.

Questions

Leak detection questions, answered straight.

Still not sure?Ask the Bear Home Advisor in the corner. Send a photo of the problem and it can give you a planning price range. Or call, and a person answers.
How do I check for a hidden leak myself?

Turn off every faucet and appliance that uses water, then look at your water meter. If it keeps moving, water is leaking somewhere. Our guide walks through it step by step.

Will you have to open my walls?

Not to find it. We locate leaks first so that any opening is small and in the right place, instead of guessing.

What should I do if I smell gas?

Leave the house without switching anything on or off, then call your gas utility or 911 from outside. Call us once everyone is safe.
