Newer Homes, Different Leak Causes
A house built after about 2015 rarely suffers from old pipe, but it can still leak.
- Loose PEX fittings: Crimped or clamped joints can work loose or sit slightly off at install.
- Shower pans: A poorly sealed pan drips into the ceiling or room below.
- Upstairs baths: Bathrooms above living rooms send water straight into drywall.
- Shared walls: In townhomes, a leak next door may show up on your side.

A Careful Search Without Demolition
Newer finishes are easy to damage, so we keep the search clean and documented.
- Ask what you saw: Where a stain appeared and when helps us start in the right room.
- Map the moisture: Thermal and moisture tools outline the wet area on the wall or ceiling.
- Test the fixture: Shower pans, tub drains and supply stops are tested one by one.
- Write it up: Photos and notes support a builder warranty claim or an HOA request.
If the cause sits in a shared wall, we explain what we found so the association can follow up with confidence.

Owner Tips for Newer Homes
- Check the warranty: Builder coverage and HOA rules may apply, so keep your closing papers handy.
- Find the shutoff: Look for a main valve in a garage wall or utility closet.
- Read the meter: Alameda County Water District serves the street side of the meter.
- Call early: A small drip today can soak insulation by next month.
A newer home often still has time left on a builder warranty, so reporting a leak early can protect your options. We document the source and the date, which helps if you file a claim.
