That is the classic hidden leak — usually a slab leak, an underground service line, or a toilet flapper passing water quietly all night. A Kilbourne leak detection visit puts a pressure gauge on the system and finds it without digging up the yard first.
You get a price for the repair before any work starts, not an hourly meter that runs while you watch. The diagnostic visit in Kilbourne is quoted up front on the phone, and if you approve the repair that visit charge goes toward the job.
What homeowners say after the truck pulls out.
"Water heater let go on a Sunday morning and flooded half the basement. Had someone here inside two hours, new tank in by afternoon, and he hauled the old one off. Price was what he said on the phone."
"Disposal was humming and jammed. Fixed it rather than replacing it, which I did not expect. Only reason for four stars is they arrived at the late end of the window."
"Got a quote elsewhere for a full repipe at five figures. Second opinion here found two bad sections and a pressure regulator. Cost me a fraction of the first number."
