Plumbing
Water is stealthy. A small pinhole leak can release thousands of gallons of water over time, rotting framing, encouraging mold, and driving up utility bills. We are University Of California-Davis, CA’s specialists in leak detection and repair. We use forensic-level technology to locate hidden leaks behind walls and under concrete slabs, resolving the issue with surgical precision.
A slab leak is a leak in the copper water lines buried beneath your home's foundation. Finding it without digging requires skill. We use acoustic listening discs and electronic "sniffers" to hear the frequency of escaping water through the concrete. We pinpoint the exact location, marked with an X, so repairs can be focused and minimally invasive.
Once a slab leak is found, we offer solutions tailored to your home:
If your water bill has spiked but you see no water, call us. We perform a systematic audit of your plumbing. We check toilets for silent leaks (flapper issues), inspect the main service line in the yard, and test the pressure regulator. We find the source of the waste and stop it.
The longer a leak goes undetected, the more damage it does. Let our technology find the source and stop the waste.

"My bedroom floor was warm. They found a hot water slab leak right under the carpet. They rerouted the pipe through the attic and saved my floor."
"My water bill tripled. They found a leak in the yard service line and replaced it. Very professional and efficient."
"Great technology. They showed me the leak on the thermal camera. Fixed it with minimal drywall cutting."
Eugene W. Hilgard, Carr's successor, recognized that Berkeley's soil and climate were terrible for farming (the campus directly faces the notoriously foggy Golden Gate) and switched from "practical" to what he called "rational" instruction in scientific principles of agriculture at Berkeley. He concentrated on things like soil science and fermentation that could be researched and taught in a university laboratory, supplemented by limited data gathering and experiments (but not hands-on teaching) at agricultural experimental stations in the field. Hilgard was disdainful of the idea of a university farm. He felt that for such a farm to teach effectively, it would necessarily have to be a model farm with examples of the best of everything, without any reference to local profitability, climate, or circumstances, and such a thing was clearly infeasible.
