Leak Repair in Chico | Chavez Handyman

Common Signs You Have A Leak

What To Watch For Before Damage Spreads

Unexplained spikes in your water bill, musty odors, peeling paint, warm spots on floors, and the sound of running water when fixtures are off are classic indicators of a hidden leak. You may also notice damp drywall, discolored ceilings, warped baseboards, or soft spots in flooring that suggest moisture is accumulating behind surfaces.

If ignored, small leaks can lead to mold growth, structural wood rot, electrical hazards, and costly repairs. Chavez Handyman helps you act early with professional-grade leak detection and swift repairs, minimizing damage and restoring your home’s safety and comfort.

From Precise Diagnosis To Lasting Fixes

We start with a detailed assessment, asking targeted questions about symptoms and timelines. Our technicians use non-invasive tools such as moisture meters, thermal imaging, acoustic listening, and pressure or dye tests to pinpoint the exact source, whether it’s a supply line, drain, fixture seal, or building envelope issue.

Once identified, we implement the right solution: repairing or replacing supply lines and shutoff valves, re-soldering copper, installing PEX where appropriate, resealing fixtures, rebuilding toilet components, correcting drain traps, and re-caulking or flashing minor exterior penetrations. Every repair is pressure-tested, cleaned up, and backed by a workmanship warranty.

Comprehensive Solutions For Homes And Small Businesses

Plumbing leaks: faucets, sinks, toilets, showers, tubs, under-sink traps, garbage disposals, dishwasher and refrigerator supply lines, washing machine hoses, water heater connections, exterior hose bibs, and irrigation control valves and backflow housings.

Building envelope and fixture seals: minor roof and vent penetration sealing, flashing touch-ups, skylight and chimney sealant refresh, window and door re-caulking, siding penetrations, shower pan and surround caulking, grout renewal, and tub/shower diverter and spout issues.

Moisture damage restoration: targeted drywall cut-outs and patches, baseboard and trim replacement, subfloor drying and dehumidification, stain-blocking priming and repainting, and selective flooring repair. We also document findings with photos and moisture readings for your records.
