Dripping under a sink, hiding behind a wall, or seeping through your foundation — Armada finds and fixes every type of water leak. Fast diagnosis, accurate detection, and repairs done right the first time.
Water leaks don't always announce themselves with a puddle on the floor. Many of the most damaging leaks are completely invisible — hiding inside walls, beneath concrete slabs, or buried underground — quietly rotting wood, feeding mold, and driving up your water bill for months before you notice.
Armada uses advanced acoustic and electronic leak detection equipment to locate the source precisely before touching a single wall or floor. Once found, we repair it correctly — with quality materials and a workmanship guarantee — so it doesn't come back.
Leaks come in many forms. These are the signs DMV homeowners most commonly overlook — until the damage is already done.
A sudden jump — or a bill that keeps creeping up month after month without any change in your habits — is one of the most reliable indicators of an active leak somewhere in your home.
Turn off every faucet, appliance, and irrigation line. Then watch your water meter. If the dial is still spinning or the digital reading is climbing, water is escaping somewhere between the meter and your home.
Stains on ceilings, walls, or floors — especially ones that grow over time or reappear after drying — indicate an active leak above or behind the surface. Soft drywall or bubbling paint confirm water is trapped inside the wall cavity.
Mold can begin growing within 24–48 hours of a hidden leak. A musty smell in a room with no obvious moisture source — or mold appearing in unexpected locations — almost always means water is collecting somewhere out of sight.
If you can hear the sound of water running or dripping when every fixture in your home is off, trust your ears. Gurgling in pipes or a steady hiss behind a wall are strong signals of an active hidden leak that needs immediate attention.
Wood floors that buckle, tile that loosens, or walls that bow outward are responding to sustained moisture exposure. By the time structural materials start deforming, a leak has typically been active for weeks or months.
From a dripping faucet to a buried slab leak, Armada's licensed plumbers handle every leak type that DMV homes experience.
Dripping faucets, running toilets, leaking showerheads, and water heater drips. Washers fail, seals crack, and valve seats wear out. Most fixture leaks are diagnosed and repaired in a single visit.
Leaks in supply lines, drain pipes, and joints — both accessible and hidden behind walls or under floors. Visible pipe leaks are repaired quickly; hidden leaks require precise detection to minimize access work.
Leaks in water lines running through or beneath your concrete foundation. These are serious — water saturates the slab and can undermine your foundation over time. We use electronic detection and offer re route or direct access repair options.
Leaks in the main water line between the street connection and your home. Signs include wet spots in your yard, sudden pressure loss, and a rising water bill. We locate and repair these with minimal excavation.
Leaks in buried irrigation lines, drain lines, or pipes inside concrete that require detection equipment to locate accurately. We pinpoint the exact spot before any digging or demolition work begins.

Every hour a leak goes unfixed costs you more — in water, in damage, and in repair bills. Here's why DMV homeowners trust Armada to find and fix it fast.
We find the actual source of the leak — not just the visible symptom. Water travels, and the wet spot you see is often not where the leak originates. We trace it to the source before recommending any repair.
Acoustic listening devices, electronic amplifiers, and thermal imaging let us locate hidden leaks inside walls, under slabs, and beneath concrete without tearing up your home to look for them.
We explain what's wrong, what it costs, and give you real choices — spot repair or re pipe, direct access or re route. We'll give you our honest recommendation, but the decision is always yours.
We repair leaks right the first time using quality materials matched to your pipe type and system. If a repair fails due to our workmanship, we come back and make it right — no questions, no charge.
