Gene's Plumbing handles leak detection across Ennis and the surrounding area — licensed, insured and available for emergencies.
Leak detection in Ennis starts with a meter check and a pressure test, which tells us whether water is leaving the system at all and roughly how fast. Only then do the listening devices and thermal camera come out.
Every house handles leak detection a little differently depending on its age, and Ennis has plenty of both old and new. The fitting, the pipe material and the way the last plumber left it all change what the right repair is.
That is why the Ennis truck carries parts for more than one era of plumbing. The leak detection job gets finished on the first visit wherever it can be, because a second trip costs you a day and costs us the trust.
How the job actually runs, start to finish.
A plumber asks the questions on the phone that narrow it down, so the right parts and the right machine are already on the truck when it arrives.
A gauge goes on the system, a camera goes down the line, or the meter gets checked with everything off — whichever actually answers the question. Nobody quotes a repair on a guess.
If there is a cheaper option that will actually hold, you hear about it. If the cheap option is a patch that fails in six months, you hear that too.
Before the truck goes you see it working — the drain running, the pressure holding, the pit cycling — not just a thumbs up from the driveway.
The questions homeowners ask about this one.
It depends on what the diagnosis turns up, which is why you get a firm price for your leak detection job in Ennis before any work starts rather than an hourly rate that runs while you wait.
If the situation is urgent, yes — Ennis emergency calls are answered day and night, and the first priority is stopping the water before the leak detection repair is started.
Absolutely. If another company has quoted you for leak detection in Ennis, a second look either finds a smaller fix or confirms the first diagnosis so you can spend with confidence.
You get a straight answer on that. Plenty of Ennis customers are told their leak detection situation can reasonably wait a season, and plenty are told it cannot. The diagnosis decides it, not the sales value.
Feedback from customers who had this work done.
"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."
"Disposal was humming and jammed. Fixed it rather than replacing it, which I did not expect. Only reason for four stars is they arrived at the late end of the window."
"Old cast iron stack was leaking behind the wall. They cut it out and put in new, and were careful about dust with plastic and a fan. That mattered with a baby in the house."
