With gas leaks, the most common symptom is the smell of gas. Great care needs to be taken with gas leaks, and both ABC and your local gas utility may work on your problem jointly. If your gas has been shut off by the utility, ABC can perform the necessary repairs and coordinate with the gas company to have your system inspected and turned back on. The inspection to re-establish service is a mandatory process when the gas company has been called out to turn off the system. Gas companies typically do not perform repairs on the “home side” of a gas system and will refer you to a licensed plumber to perform the work. Once the work is performed and the gas company inspects the repair, they will turn the system back on.
With water leaks, the main clues are soft, wet spots in the yard or visible water standing or running down driveways and sidewalks. Additionally, another clue is a sudden, substantial increase in water bills. If you suspect a water leak, contact ABC, and we’ll find the source, price the repairs and have you back to normal as quickly as possible. It’s also worth noting that some utilities will credit some of your excessive water bill, with proof from you that there was a leak, and a plumber inspected and repaired the problem. Be sure to save all of the paperwork from the ABC plumber for proof.

ABC is a slab leak specialist. Slab leaks are the most damaging type of residential leak, so call us right away if you have sunken spots in your slab or buckling of floorboards, wet slab or carpet, or unexplained high water bills. These can all be signs of a serious water leak. However, most water leaks are not necessarily slab leaks. The most common type of leak is where the water pipe (commonly, PVC pipe) from the utility supply line attaches to the copper fitting at the edge of a home’s slab. This is commonly mistaken for a slab leak because of its proximity to the slab.
Other types of leaks can come from damage to the pipe from ground-shifting with weather changes or someone working in the yard and accidentally puncturing the water line. Contact ABC for any suspected water leak, and we’ll determine the true nature of the leak.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does ABC repair or install backflow devices?
Yes. The most common type of backflow devices in a residential setting are the ones attached to a swimming pool or a sprinkler system.

What Our Customers Are Saying

“We recently had a large-scale plumbing repair that needed to be done at our home, and given our past negative experiences with other vendors for big house repairs, we were nervous going into it. However, working with Devin from ABC turned out to be the best possible outcome. From the very beginning, Devin was fantastic. He was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly easy to work with. As the project progressed, we quickly came to fully trust him (something we haven’t been able to say about many contractors in the past). While the project did end up taking much longer than originally anticipated due to unforeseen circumstances outside of ABC’s control, Devin was proactive in keeping us informed every step of the way. He handled communication with third parties and pushed as much as he could to make sure everything kept moving forward and was done right. As for the work itself, we couldn’t be more impressed. Devin consistently went above and beyond to ensure that everything was done correctly with long-term durability in mind. It’s rare to find someone who takes as much pride in their work. Overall, we couldn’t have had a more positive experience, and we wholeheartedly recommend Devin and the team at ABC to anyone needing plumbing work. If we ever have another plumbing need in the future, we won’t hesitate to call ABC again.”
