Advanced Technology for Pinpointing Leaks
We utilize state-of-the-art technology to ensure accurate and non-invasive leak detection. Forget destructive methods that tear up your property; our advanced tools allow us to locate leaks with precision. This includes:
Acoustic Leak Detection: Listening devices help us hear the sound of water escaping pipes, even behind walls or under floors.
Thermal Imaging Cameras: These cameras detect subtle temperature changes caused by water, revealing hidden moisture.
Tracer Gas Detection: For hard-to-find leaks, we can introduce a safe, non-toxic gas into your plumbing system and use sensitive detectors to find where it escapes.
Video Camera Inspections: For drain and sewer lines, miniature cameras provide a clear view of the pipe's interior, identifying cracks, blockages, or breaks.
We can detect various types of leaks, including slab leaks, water main leaks, and even gas leaks, ensuring the safety and integrity of your entire system.
Once a leak is detected, prompt and effective repair is crucial. Our skilled plumbers are experts in all forms of leak repair, from minor pipe patching to extensive re-piping. We pride ourselves on providing durable solutions that restore the functionality and safety of your plumbing system.

Prevention is always better than cure. Here are some tips to help homeowners minimize the risk of leaks:
Regular Inspections: Periodically check visible pipes, faucets, and water heaters for any signs of corrosion, drips, or moisture.
Monitor Water Bills: An unexplained spike in your water bill can be a strong indicator of a hidden leak.
Know Your Water Shut-Off: Familiarize yourself with your main water shut-off valve location in case of an emergency.

We had a leak we could hear but couldn't see, and Sullivan Plumbing came to the rescue. Megan booked us for a service call the very next day, and Chris and Casey were outstanding. They were professional, friendly, and quickly identified and repaired the broken pipe—all within an hour. The pricing was fair and reasonable, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend the incredible team at Sullivan Plumbing without hesitation. Five stars!

Got the hose bib replaced easily, even crawling in crawl space. Smiles and a helpful attitude made the work good from our side, too.

Andrew and Casey did a great job installing a new hot water heater for us and fixing the drains in our sinks. Will always call Sullivan for plumbing problems!

I chose Sullivan because of our years with you. I'd disassembled our washer/dryer and a laundry sink for a new floor installation and felt professionals should do the reinstall of everything so it was done properly and that's what happened. Nick and Johnny came this afternoon and got everything back and running smoothly. I was very impressed at how thorough they were in evaluating what needed to be done and doing it. Thanks to them and your company.

I just took advantage of Sullivan's "protection plan", which includes an annual water heater tank flush and while-home plumbing inspection along with other perks like waived call-out fees and priority service when they're busy -it's affordable peace of mind. This is the second time I've done business with Sullivan, and the two plumbers and one office staff that I've met have all been great. Nick's inspection was thorough and diligent, and identified a major problem - excessive water pressure - that would otherwise have gone unnoticed until it caused an unpredictable failure. I'm happy with Sullivan and plan to stick with them.

Review below from 3 years ago! My dad mentioned that this seems to happen every 3 years and I’m impressed that his comment was true. Amy answered the phone and was able to schedule us right away, there was a cancellation. Chris showed up with Megan (the other scheduler for the company) as his ride-with for the day. They were fun! Amazing job not only with using an Auger to clear the pipe but fixing our YouTube DIY mess. Also I was very impressed with Chris doing extra work by scrubbing/cleaning up the area under the kitchen sink. I had not realized that I called them last time but sure glad I did! Kitchen sink clog. Amy put us in a cancellation list and, with Lori, kept me updated. They got us scheduled before other companies could. Scott was awesome. Gave us a senior discount, we didn't have to ask if one was available. Overall great experience, it didn't feel like we were being price gouged.

I found a water bubble on my ceiling at 6pm on a Sunday (of a holiday weekend, at that!), and they had someone dispatched to me within an hour! Nick was great, fixed the leak immediately (I was able to find it before he got here), got it cleaned up, and worked with me to get the best case scenario of having functional plumbing but not having to do more work than necessary at emergency/weekend prices, saving me quite a chunk of change.
