A stain on your ceiling, water dripping from a light, or a wet wall you share with a neighbor. In a condo or townhome, the leak could be yours, theirs or the HOA's. The first job is to stop the damage, then find the source. Call (951) 299-3473 24/7.
A clear leak report helps settle who pays. Our leak detection Murrieta CA team uses moisture meters, thermal cameras and acoustic tools to trace water to its source, so the right party fixes it.
Where do leaks between units come from?
The most common sources are the unit above: a toilet wax ring, a shower pan, a tub drain, a washing machine hose or a water heater. Next come shared pipes in the walls or ceiling, like a main supply riser or a drain stack. Roof and balcony leaks are less common in Murrieta's dry climate but show up after heavy rain.
| What you see | Likely source |
|---|---|
| Stain under the upstairs bathroom | Toilet seal, shower pan or tub drain above |
| Drip only when the neighbor showers | Shower or tub drain in the unit above |
| Wet shared wall, no use pattern | Supply pipe or riser in the wall |
| Ceiling wet after rain only | Roof, balcony or window above |
| Water near the laundry closet | Washer hose or drain box |
