Signs of a hidden leakyou can see, hear and smell.

A brown water stain spreading across a ceiling corner, the paint bubbling
An open water meter box in a lawn, the brass meter and its leak indicator

  1. A water bill that jumps

    Using the same water but paying more usually means some of it is going somewhere you can’t see.

  2. Running water when everything’s off

    A hiss or a trickle in the walls when no tap, toilet or appliance is running.

  3. A warm spot on the floor

    Hot water escaping from a line under a concrete slab can warm the floor above it.

  4. Stains, bubbling paint or soft drywall

    Water spreading inside a wall or ceiling shows through the paint before it shows anywhere else.

  5. A musty smell

    Damp that never dries out behind a wall or under a floor starts to smell before you can see it.

  6. A soggy patch in the yard

    Ground that stays wet when it hasn’t rained can point to the line bringing water in from the street.

Under the floor slab

Many Southern California homes sit on a concrete slab with water lines running underneath it. A pinhole there can run for months without showing.

What you might notice

  • A warm spot on the floor
  • The sound of water under the floor
  • A water bill that keeps climbing

The meter test below is a good first check before anything else.

  • “Work was done with great quality and quickly for a good price!”

    Got to talk to Eric about my project, he was straightforward, honest and accommodating. Logan called and gave me a ETA before showing up. Work was done with great quality and quickly for a good price! I plan on using them again.

  • “There was no beating around the bush when it came to pricing.”

    Taysom was awesome! Showed up on time got straight to the point. There was no beating around the bush when it came to pricing. It was clear and straightforward. I had a clog in my bathroom shower. They knew exactly what to do, were in and out within a few hours, and they smelled clean. Highly recommend to anyone looking for excellent service at a great rate

  • “They even noticed a heavy package sitting on our front porch and brought it inside for us.”

    We recently had Taysom Plumbing do some work on our bathroom shower, and we had a great experience. The pricing was fair, the work was done well, and they cleaned everything up when they were finished. They were all so kind and polite! They even noticed a heavy package sitting on our front porch and brought it inside for us. It was such a thoughtful gesture and definitely went above and beyond. We're really happy with the work and would absolutely recommend Taysom Plumbing to anyone looking for a plumber you can trust. We'll definitely be calling them again when we need plumbing work in the future!

  • “Eric Taysom was there for us every step of the way.”

    We had an absolute plumbing disaster in our home, and Eric Taysom was there for us every step of the way. From the very beginning, he was incredibly responsive, available, and genuinely compassionate about what we were going through. He took the time to carefully assess the situation, explain our options, and come up with thoughtful solutions rather than just trying to get the job done as quickly as possible. …

  • “Taysom Plumbing is the real deal.”

    Honest, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about doing a good job. They’re the kind of people you feel comfortable recommending to friends and family—which is especially important when your plumbing decides to ruin your day... Highly recommend!

  • “Everything was done by the end of the day which was a huge relief.”

    Had a really good experience with Taysom Plumbing. We could hear water running somewhere in our bathroom and then noticed it was starting to leak into the garage. Called them and they were able to come out that same day, find where the leak was and repipe that section. Everything was done by the end of the day which was a huge relief. …

Questions

Leak questions.Straight answers.

Still wondering?

We’d rather you ask than guess.

How do I know if I have a leak?

Try the meter test: turn every tap and appliance off, then watch the meter for fifteen minutes. If the dial or the little leak indicator moves, water is going somewhere. Then give Taysom Plumbing a call.

Will you have to open my walls?

We locate the leak first, show you what we found, then talk about the fix. If a wall does need opening, you’ll know exactly where and why first, and we clean up behind us.

What is a slab leak?

A leak in a water line under a concrete floor slab, which many Southern California homes are built on. The usual signs are a warm spot on the floor, the sound of running water and a bill that keeps climbing.

How much will it cost?

We look at the problem first, explain what we found, and give you the options with a price for each. Nothing starts until you’ve agreed to it.

Which areas do you cover?

All of Orange County: 41 cities and communities, from La Habra down to San Clemente. If you don’t see yours on the list, call us and ask.
