Turn a Leak Concern Into a Plumbing Assessment
A meter reading can show water passing through the meter without locating where it is going. Fixtures, normal use and concealed piping all need to be considered. The service begins with the symptoms and relevant accessible plumbing, followed by testing appropriate to the system.

Arrange Assessment for Unexplained Use
Share any account notice or unusual meter observation, and mention known changes in ordinary use. For an EMWD customer, meter movement with uses off can mean an overlooked use or a customer-side leak. The observation cannot identify a defective pipe by itself.
If you also notice moisture or hear water, describe those symptoms. Active leaking should be explained at the beginning of the call.
San Jacinto Leak Detection Questions
What happens after the source is identified?
After a plumbing leak source is assessed, discuss the repair proposed and how the fault can be reached. Confirm any opening and finishing scope before corrective work begins. Detection and the completed repair remain distinct steps.
Is an opening in a wall always required?
No single access method applies to every plumbing leak investigation. An accessible connection may explain a source, while concealed piping can require testing or an opening. Discuss proposed access and why it is needed before work begins.
Will EMWD repair a customer-side plumbing leak?
EMWD's published guidance says it does not repair leaks on the customer side of its meter. Check the provider shown on your account before applying that guidance.
Does meter movement identify the exact leak?
No. It indicates water passing through the meter. Further investigation is needed to distinguish remaining water use from a leak and locate a plumbing fault.
Can I request help without a utility leak notice?
Yes. Roto-Rooter offers leak detection in San Jacinto for suspected plumbing leaks based on the symptoms you report.
