Loose fittings
Push-fit and crimp fittings can weep inside walls in the first years.
Clyde Hill is a small, all-residential city on the hill between Bellevue and Medina, with views west to Lake Washington and Seattle. Its streets tell a story of change: original 1950s ramblers sit next to large new custom homes built where older houses were torn down. New homes and big remodels have their own kind of leaks, often in the first few years. Our emergency crews answer 24 hours a day and reach Clyde Hill the same day.
If your home is new or just remodeled, the builder or plumber may be responsible. Take photos, call the builder, and call us. We record moisture readings, photos and the source before we open anything, so you, your builder and your insurer all see the same facts. See water damage inspection.
