A leak isn’t something to shrug off, and it won’t get better on its own. A lot of homes here in Levittown were built over 70 years ago, and a lot of them are still equipped with the original plumbing. That means these pipes are often on their last legs, and leaks are common. THe freeze/thaw cycle here in Southeastern PA is pretty brutal on pipes in Levittown, too. But even newer homes in Yardley, Newtown, and Warminster aren’t immune. Builder-grade fittings, shifting soil, and ill-advised DIY-fixes create the groundwork for slow, hidden leaks.
McHales has been family-owned and operated since 1950; right when the first homes in Levittown were being put up. We’ve been working on them ever since. Even though the homes here have great bones, we’ve seen the aging pipes, gas lines, and appliances that have been prone to leaks for years. We’re here to help you find leaks and fix leaks.
We wish that leaks were always out in the open. Unfortunately, that’s not the case most of the time. Here are telltale signs that you might have a leak in your home:
Now that you know the signs, what causes leaks in the area?

We’ve been serving the whole of Bucks County since 1950, and we serve Levittown, Bensalem, Yardley, Warminster, Willow Grove, Southampton, Horsham, Bristol, Fairless Hills, Tullytown, Lawrence Township NJ, Willingboro NJ. We specialize in dealing with slab leaks in Levittown, PA, but we cover it all!
Here are common leak detection questions we field from our Levittown neighbors.
Yes. Original Levitt homes were built on slab foundations rather than a basement. Supply lines run through the concrete, so when they fail, that often means you get a slab leak. This will usually happen with hot water lines after 70+ years of use! Check for warm/cold spots on the floor, any unexplained moisture, and high water bills.
The final cost of leak detection depends on how accessible the leak is, what equipment we need, and how much time we’re there. There’s also a $69 plumbing dispatch fee, which covers the trip & initial assessment. But we’re upfront about costs, and we’ll keep you abreast of the financial situation before, during and after.
Most leaks are spotted within one service call; often under an hour. When there’ s a super accessible leak, (like under your kitchen sink), we find it in minutes. Slab leaks and pinhole leaks deep in the pipe or slab will take longer to find. We keep you informed as we go.
