Or the warm spot showed up on the floor. The damp patch in the closet. The mildew smell that wasn't there last month. The sound of running water with everything off.
You're not paranoid. Something is leaking. The only question is where — and how much damage it's doing while you try to figure it out.
Most plumbers respond to leaks. We specialize in finding them. The distinction matters because hidden leaks in Oakland homes cause damage on a clock, and every day of delay multiplies what the eventual repair will cost.
A week of delay on a visible leak costs you almost nothing. A week of delay on a hidden leak costs far more than you'd guess.
