How can I tell if I have a hidden water leak?

Signs of hidden leaks include water stains, musty odors, mold growth, or unexplained increases in your water bill. You might also notice reduced water pressure or hear dripping sounds when no fixtures are on. These clues often point to leaks behind walls, under floors, or underground.

What causes plumbing leaks in homes?

Leaks can result from aging pipes, corrosion, high water pressure, or loose connections. Seasonal changes, like freezing and thawing, can also weaken plumbing lines. Identifying the cause is key to making lasting repairs.

Is leak detection a messy process?

No, modern leak detection methods are designed to be non-invasive. We use tools like moisture meters and acoustic devices to pinpoint leaks without tearing into walls or floors. This saves time, money, and unnecessary disruption to your home.

How often should I schedule leak detection?

If you notice signs of a leak, schedule detection immediately. For older homes or those with recurring plumbing issues, regular inspections every year or two can prevent costly damage. Preventive leak detection is far less expensive than repairing water damage.

Does insurance cover leak detection and repairs?

Coverage depends on your policy and the cause of the leak. Many insurance plans cover sudden, accidental leaks but may exclude long-term issues caused by neglect. Our team can help provide documentation for insurance claims when necessary.

Hoover did an excellent job with our underground sewer repair and refurbishment. Needed to replace a section of pipe which collapsed and then a follow-up with trenchless liner install (CIPP) from the house, out to the connection with the city main. An expensive repair, but it would be with any company. They were able to help us out and reduce from their original estimate. The cost is in the equipment for the UV light cured pipe liner. Hoover’s technicians were all friendly and professional and answered all my many questions. Would recommend them to anyone facing similar circumstances.

Tyler came out and was completely professional and personable. I assumed I was just looking for an unclogging, however Tyler was able to find what the real problem and was able to get me scheduled for a repair because unfortunately it wasn't a simple unclogging. From the first phone call to their main office to the end result has been great!

First impressions are everything to me. I have to say that Hoover Electric (the services we needed) far exceeded anything I could have anticipated! Tristan, you were fantastic, personable and incredibly patient in diagnosing the issue we were dealing with. To the receptionist (I'm so sorry I can't remember your name!!) thank you. Thank you for listening, for being so understanding and accommodating. You did not have to stay on the phone with me as long as you did and listen to all of the woes we have been going through recently, but you did and I am beyond grateful. You have yourselves a new lifetime customer.

Hoover completed the job I had booked which was quite extensive. Let me tell you. The work that Hoover did was exceptional. Super clean work. Incredibly respectful of the homeowner. I will call Hoover for any needs going forward. They were spot on with timing, and kept me updated every single step of the way. Also they made sure I was happy before they left and they asked how I wanted things done such as how would I like the conduit ran. That stuff matters. It’s the little things. Call Hoover for all of your needs!
