Common Types of Leaks We Find in Wilson Homes

  • Under-sink leaks from drain pipes, supply lines, or worn faucet connections hidden behind cabinet doors
  • Slab leaks, where supply lines running beneath the concrete foundation develop pinhole leaks that cause floor damage, foundation cracking, and significant water loss
  • Wall and ceiling leaks from pipes inside structural cavities that cause staining, bubbling paint, and mold growth
  • Toilet base and tank leaks that waste hundreds of gallons per day unnoticed
  • Shower and bathtub leaks from valve failures or compromised seals around drains
  • Water heater leaks at tank connections or pressure relief valves that pool beneath the unit
  • Appliance supply line failures from washing machines, dishwashers, and refrigerators

Note: If you suspect a gas leak rather than a water leak, leave the building immediately, wait until you’re outside to use your phone, and call 911 and your gas utility from a safe distance. Prostar handles gas line services, but gas leak response requires emergency protocols before any repair work begins.

Leak Detection Services in Wilson, NC

Prostar uses professional-grade leak detection equipment to locate leaks that aren’t visible from the surface. Our process starts with a thorough assessment of your plumbing system, followed by targeted use of detection tools to pinpoint the exact location. This means we can make precise, minimally invasive repairs rather than opening large sections of wall, floor, or foundation searching for the source. We explain what we find and give you a clear repair plan before any work begins.

Water Leak Repair in Wilson, NC

Once we’ve located the leak, Prostar repairs it using the right method for the specific situation. Simple supply line failures and faucet connection leaks are straightforward repairs completed in a single visit. Slab leaks and leaks inside walls may require limited access cuts, which we keep as small as possible. Where appropriate, we use trenchless repair techniques that minimize property disruption. We also assess whether the affected section is isolated or part of a broader pattern of deterioration that would be better addressed through repiping.

Frozen Pipe Detection and Repair in Wilson, NC

When temperatures drop, pipes in unconditioned spaces including crawlspaces, exterior walls, garages, and unheated areas of the home become vulnerable. A frozen pipe doesn’t always burst immediately, but the pressure buildup can cause failures along the pipe or at joints. Prostar responds to frozen and burst pipe calls throughout Wilson and helps homeowners identify which pipes are most at risk so preventive steps can be taken before the next cold stretch.

Leak Prevention: What You Can Do

Proactive habits reduce the likelihood of serious leak damage:

  • Know where your main water shutoff valve is and confirm it operates freely. In an emergency, shutting off water quickly limits damage significantly
  • Check under sinks and around appliances periodically for moisture or staining you might not notice in daily use
  • Have your water heater inspected periodically, especially as it ages, since tank failures and connection leaks become more likely over time
  • Insulate pipes in crawlspaces, exterior walls, and other unconditioned areas before cold weather arrives
  • Schedule periodic plumbing inspections so a professional can catch developing issues before they become active leaks

Leak Detection and Repair FAQs for Wilson, NC Homeowners

What should I do if I have a major leak in my home?

In the event of an emergency, turn off your water.

If the leak is inside your home or you have a burst pipe you should first turn off your water supply at your main shutoff valve. If you do not have a main shutoff valve, or don’t know where it is located, you may turn off your water at your meter in an emergency situation. It is advisable to contact a plumber during such emergencies. If any damage has occurred it is also advisable to contact your insurance company. Do not touch any wet electrical fittings – call an electrician.

How do I know if I have a slab leak?

Common signs include warm spots on the floor, the sound of running water with everything shut off, unexplained increases in your water bill, and floor damage or cracking near where supply lines run under the slab. Prostar uses detection equipment to confirm and locate slab leaks without unnecessary demolition.

How does professional leak detection work?

We use a combination of pressure testing, acoustic detection equipment, and thermal imaging where applicable to locate the source of a leak without opening walls or floors blindly. The goal is to find the exact location so we can make a targeted repair rather than a broad exploratory search.

Can a small leak really cause serious damage?

Yes. A pinhole leak inside a wall runs continuously, and that water soaks into insulation, framing, and drywall over time. The ongoing moisture creates conditions for mold growth and structural damage that is far more expensive to remediate than the original leak repair would have been.

What's the difference between repairing a leak and repiping?

Repair addresses the specific failed section. Repiping replaces the broader pipe system. When leaks are isolated and the surrounding pipe is sound, repair is the right approach. When leaks are recurring in multiple locations or the pipe material is degrading throughout the home, repiping is the more practical long-term solution. Prostar will help you think through which makes sense for your situation.

Do you handle leak repairs inside walls without major demolition?

We work to minimize access cuts as much as possible and use the smallest opening necessary to make the repair correctly. We’ll explain what level of access is needed for your specific situation before any work begins.

What factors contribute to a high water bill other than leaking faucets and/or pipes?

Most leaks in residential plumbing systems are found in the toilet tank. These leaks typically result from worn parts or improper alignment of some part of the flushing mechanism. It is important to find and stop these leaks because they will cause an increase in your monthly water bill.
