How to Tell if Your San Diego Home is Leaking

In San Diego County, many homes are built on concrete slabs, making leak detection a bit like detective work. One of the most common red flags is a warm spot on your floor, which usually indicates a hot water line has ruptured beneath the slab. You might also notice the unsettling sound of rushing water behind walls or under floors even when all faucets are off. Don't ignore a sudden spike in your water bill or dampness near baseboards, in the coastal air and soil of San Diego County, these small signs often point to a significant sub-surface failure that requires immediate attention.

Copper vs. PEX: The Better Choice for San Diego Water

San Diego County is known for its "aggressive" water chemistry, high mineral content and specific chloramine treatments that act like sandpaper on the inside of traditional copper pipes. Over time, this leads to the dreaded "pinhole leak." While we offer high-quality copper for those who prefer it, PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) is often the superior choice for local homeowners. PEX is naturally scale-resistant, flexible enough to be threaded through walls with minimal cuts, and, most importantly, it is completely immune to the corrosion and pitting caused by San Diego’s hard water, ensuring your new system lasts a lifetime.

This checklist is designed to help Orange County homeowners compare bids side-by-side. Many "low-cost" plumbing quotes end up being much more expensive once you add in the repairs and parts that were left out of the initial estimate.

Use this to ensure you're getting the same "A to Z" service that Repipe Plus provides.

The Repipe Quote Comparison Checklist

Don’t sign a contract until you’ve checked these boxes.

When comparing bids for your San Diego home, use these bullet points to ensure you aren’t being quoted for a "partial" job. Most plumbing companies only handle the pipes - Repipe Plus handles the entire restoration.

• All-Inclusive Pricing: Does the quote include new supply lines, angle stops, and pressure regulator valves? We include these as standard, not as "extra" charges.
• Seamless Drywall Repair: Will the company patch, texture, and sand all access holes? We ensure your walls are ready for paint, saving you the cost of hiring a separate contractor.
• Expert Texture Matching: Can they match specialized SD wall textures like "Orange Peel" or "Knockdown"? Our crews are masters at making access points invisible.
• One-Day Installation: Will your water be back on by the end of the first day? Our large, 6+ person teams complete the main installation in just 24 hours.
• Specialized Coordinated Crews: Are you getting a "jack-of-all-trades" or a synchronized team that has worked together for years? Our organization ensures zero wasted time.
• Full Permitting & Inspections: Does the plumber handle the city paperwork? We manage the entire permit process and coordinate with local San Diego inspectors for you.
• Complete Exterior Renewal: Does the bid include new outdoor hose bibs and main-line shut-off valves? We replace the system from the street to the furthest faucet.
• Total Cleanliness Guarantee: Do they provide full-floor protection? We treat your home with respect, using drop cloths and performing a deep clean-up before we leave.
