You can fix a very small, visible water leak yourself, but hidden, fast, or system-related leaks should be handled by a licensed plumber. The most common DIY wins are simple fixture issues; problems behind surfaces or near electrical carry real risk and can snowball into major repairs. A quick water-meter check with all fixtures off—if the dial still moves—suggests a hidden leak best left to pros. Our licensed team does this work daily in the Saint Augustine area, and emergency help is available 24/7.
Use these quick signals:
- DIY likely: loose faucet connection, dripping aerator, or a reachable supply line washer.
- Call a pro now: water stains or dripping from ceilings or walls.
- Call a pro now: water near outlets, panels, or a water heater tank leak.
- Call a pro now: sewage odors, gurgling, or any drain backup.
Shut off water to the fixture or the main valve if needed, avoid power sources, and call a licensed plumber for anything beyond a basic visible fix.
