The Lakes Leak Detection Around Lake Sahara
The Lakes was one of the first planned communities in west Las Vegas, built around the man-made Lake Sahara. Its homes, condos and townhomes are now about four decades old, and their copper plumbing shows it. Our leak detection in The Lakes pinpoints hidden leaks before they damage floors and walls.
Most calls here involve slab leaks and leaks inside walls in two-story homes and townhomes. When an older home has leaked several times, we often recommend comparing a spot fix with whole-house repiping, and we explain slab leak repair options clearly before anything is opened.
