Does leak detection require demolition?

Usually not. Acoustic and thermal devices and inspection cameras locate the leak precisely; only the repair spot is opened.

Do I pay before or after the work?

Small inspection fees may be due upfront; the main amount follows completion and your acceptance — always against a documented invoice.

Is a ground-tank leak serious?

Yes — it can mix with groundwater and silently affect foundations. Signs: constant water-level drop and dampness around the tank.

Can I get a written quote before committing?

Yes — always request an itemized written quote after the assessment and before authorizing the work.

What if the problem returns after the service?

Contact the provider within the warranty period with your report reference — the warranty visit addresses the same covered issue.

How long does a home leak inspection take?

Typically one to three hours depending on home size and suspected points, and you receive a written report.
