Gene's Plumbing handles leak detection across Shreveport and the surrounding area — licensed, insured and available for emergencies.
Leak detection in Shreveport 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 Shreveport 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 Shreveport 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.
Tell us what you are seeing, hearing or smelling. If water is actively running into the house, you get walked to your main shutoff before anything else is discussed.
Finding the real cause is what keeps the repair small. Opening one square foot of wall instead of twenty starts with knowing exactly where to open it.
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.
The repair gets made with proper materials, pressure tested where the job allows, and checked in front of you before anything is closed back up.
Common questions, answered plainly.
It depends on what the diagnosis turns up, which is why you get a firm price for your leak detection job in Shreveport before any work starts rather than an hourly rate that runs while you wait.

Yes. leak detection in Shreveport is done by a licensed, insured plumbing contractor who pulls whatever permits your municipality requires, and the licence number is on your invoice.
Drop cloths go down before anything starts, cuts are made as small and as clean as the leak detection job allows, and everything removed leaves with the truck when the Shreveport work is done.
Real reviews from real service calls.
"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."
"Our water smelled like sulfur since we moved in. They tested it instead of guessing, put in the right filtration, and the smell was gone the same day."
"Kitchen remodel plumbing, sink and disposal and the dishwasher line. Coordinated with my cabinet guy without me having to run messages between them."
