Expert Plumbing leak detection in Glendora, CA

Hidden plumbing leaks are a common problem for Glendora homeowners. Many homes in the area were built in the 1960s and 70s, and the original pipes in those houses are aging. Glendora's moderately hard water accelerates corrosion inside older copper and galvanized lines. Foothill soil movement adds physical stress to pipes embedded under slab foundations. Together, these factors make leak detection a practical priority, not just a precaution. At Plumbing Buddies, owner Jeremy brings 20 years of plumbing experience to every leak call. He uses acoustic listening equipment and thermal imaging to locate leaks inside walls, under floors, and beneath slabs before any concrete or drywall is opened. That means you get a clear diagnosis and a repair plan based on where the leak actually is. We serve homeowners across Glendora, San Dimas, Covina, West Covina, La Verne, Pasadena, Upland, Claremont, Rancho Cucamonga, Monrovia, and Arcadia. If your water bill has climbed without explanation, or you hear water running when everything is off, call Plumbing Buddies.

Plumbing leak detection FAQ

Ezra and Jose from Plumbing buddies were very professional and respectful of our property and always showed up on time and cleaned up after themselves.Ezra explained what was going to happen once our water got shut off. They began the re-piping under the house with ABS drain lines. finished one day and the 68 year-old cast-iron pipes are now gone. The new black ABS drain pipe should last for a long time. Highly recommend this company.

Recently got a tankless heater installed and Jeremy explained everything in detail. The quote was also fairly priced. The final work looks great. I would highly recommend Plumbing Buddies to anyone looking to repair or replace their water heater. I’ll be using them for yearly maintenance.

I’m writing on behalf of my mom, Nora. Jeremy was excellent to work with from start to finish. He came to my mom’s house to inspect and remove her old water heater and install a new one. Jeremy was professional, punctual, friendly, and communicated clearly throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything and made sure all of her questions were answered. She also appreciated how clean and organized he kept his work area from start to finish. The installation was completed efficiently and with great attention to detail. Most importantly, my mom now has the peace of mind that comes with a brand-new water heater and knowing the job was done right. She is very pleased with Jeremy’s service and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and trustworthy plumber. Do not hesitate to call Jeremy for all your plumbing needs!

They did a great job of replacing the cover for my water heater. It came out great plus after the rain it was making a noise and they came quick to check it out and clean it! They are the best 😊🙏🏼!
