Newer homes leak for different reasons than older ones. This page explains what goes wrong in a young plumbing system, and how a clear report can help you with the builder.
What Makes Leak Detection in Olivewood Different
Olivewood homes are young, so age is rarely the cause. The causes are different, and so is the next step.
- Install issues over age: Newer homes leak less from wear and more from install issues like loose PEX fittings and shower pans. A fitting that was not fully seated can drip slowly inside a wall.
- A builder warranty may still apply: Many Olivewood homes are recent enough that the builder may still cover plumbing defects. A written report that shows the source helps you make that claim.
- Hard water still works on new pipe: Extremely hard BCVWD water scales fittings and valves even in new homes. Small drips can start at shutoffs and connectors within a few years.

Most Requested Services in Olivewood
These are the calls Olivewood owners make most, with the reason each one comes up in newer homes.
- Wall Leak Detection: A loose PEX fitting inside a wall can drip for months. We use thermal imaging and moisture readings to find the exact spot behind the drywall before anyone cuts.
- Ceiling Leak Detection: Two story layouts put baths over living areas. A stain on the ceiling often traces to a shower, tub or supply line above, and a scan shows which one.
- Shower Pan Leak Detection: Install issues in a new pan can leak early. We flood test the pan and check the drain so you know whether the problem is the pan, the drain or the grout.
- Thermal Imaging Leak Detection: An infrared scan outlines hidden moisture without any cutting. It documents the leak for your builder and keeps your new walls intact.

Tips for Olivewood Homeowners
New homes need a different kind of care. Use these tips to protect your plumbing and your warranty.
- Check your builder warranty first: Find the terms and the date your coverage started. If a leak appears early, report it in writing before repairs begin, and keep our report and photos.
- Know your main shutoff and manifold: The main is often at the front of the house or in the garage, and the PEX manifold is in a closet or garage. Label both.
- Protect outdoor pipes: Beaumont gets real freezes. Cover hose bibs and the backflow device on cold nights so they do not crack.
- Call BCVWD for meter side leaks: The Beaumont Cherry Valley Water District owns the meter and the street side. Anything after the meter, on your property, is yours to fix.
