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 Mount Carmel, PA’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.

Sawmill operator, Albert Bradford, gave Mount Carmel its name because of its elevation and beautiful setting in the mountains. He decided that it deserved a special name and named it after the holy mountain in Israel. Mount Carmel began as a logging town. Coal was only discovered in 1790 by Isaac Tomlinson. It took twenty-four years until the first shipment of anthracite was shipped from the borough. Mount Carmel Inn was opened in 1812 by Richard Yarnall and was strategically located on the Centre Turnpike (also known as the Reading-Sunbury Road or Old Reading Road) halfway between Pottsville and Danville. During the latter part of 1854, the Philadelphia and Sunbury Railroad was completed from Shamokin to Mt. Carmel, which led to the opening and development of a number of collieries in the region. During the same year, the Locust Mountain Coal and Iron Company commenced making extensive openings and improvements upon their valuable coal lands in the vicinity of Mt. Carmel, building coal breakers for two collieries – the Coal Ridge and Locust Mountain collieries. The township was erected in 1854, formed from part of Coal Township; by 1862 the borough was incorporated within the township.
