Why Portland Homeowners Choose Fontus

- Accurate diagnosis before repair
- Honest recommendations
- Complete water-system expertise
- Minimally disruptive detection
Water Leak Detection FAQs
How do I know if it's a leak or just high usage?
We compare the symptoms and can isolate whether water is escaping the system versus being used. A meter that keeps moving with everything off is a strong leak indicator.
Can a small leak really cause big damage?
Yes—even a slow drip inside a wall can foster mold and rot over months. Early detection is far cheaper than restoration.
