Leak Detection Academy
Annual plumbing checkup checklist
A simple yearly review that helps South OC homeowners catch small issues before they become slab leaks or major repairs.
Many Laguna Niguel and South Orange County homes still run on original copper and sit on expansive clay soils. A short annual checkup can surface problems early.
What to check once a year
- Water bill trend — any unexplained jump?
- Water meter with everything off — is it still moving?
- Warm spots on floors or damp carpet edges
- Water pressure at a few fixtures (ideal roughly 40–80 psi)
- Visible supply lines under sinks and at the water heater
- Toilet base and wax-ring signs of seepage
- Outdoor hose bibs and irrigation connections
If anything looks off, diagnose first — don’t open floors until the leak location is confirmed. Lance answers the phone at (949) 374-6524.
