The questions homeowners ask us most.
That is the classic hidden leak — usually a slab leak, an underground service line, or a toilet flapper passing water quietly all night. A Hockessin leak detection visit puts a pressure gauge on the system and finds it without digging up the yard first.
Yes, and it starts with an actual water test rather than a guess. Hardness, iron and sulfur all need different equipment, so the Hockessin system gets sized off what is really in your water.

What homeowners say after the truck pulls out.
"Water heater let go on a Sunday morning and flooded half the basement. Had someone here inside two hours, new tank in by afternoon, and he hauled the old one off. Price was what he said on the phone."
"Well pump quit on a holiday weekend. He got the pressure switch replaced same day and told me the tank had maybe a year left rather than selling me one right then. Called him back for the tank in the spring."
"Ran a new gas line for the range and the dryer. Pulled the permit, passed inspection first try, and cleaned up the drill shavings in the utility room."
