Leak Detection & Repair
Leak detection covers water leaks (slab, pinhole, and concealed) and gas leaks using advanced diagnostic tools to locate issues accurately.
Watch for high water bills, damp flooring, mold growth, or warm spots on concrete slabs. These often indicate an unseen leak.
Preventative steps include regular inspections, maintaining proper water pressure, and promptly repairing small leaks before they worsen.
Gas line services include leak detection, repairs, pressure testing, and safety inspections for both residential and commercial systems.
Drain & Sewer
A higher water bill can be a sign of hidden leaks, running toilets, or dripping faucets. We can perform a leak detection service to identify and repair any issues.
Scott Cole Plumbing uses advanced sewer camera inspection technology to locate clogs, cracks, or other underground issues before recommending a solution.
Drain cleaning may include snaking or high-pressure hydro jetting to remove grease, scale, or tree root buildup inside pipes.
Frequent backups, foul odors, slow drains, and soggy patches in your yard often indicate a damaged or failing sewer line.

Sewer line rerouting involves redirecting damaged or blocked sections of piping to restore proper flow without replacing the entire system.
