A water softener often sits beside shelves, a laundry area or finished utility room walls. A failed connection or overflowing drain can wet cabinet bases and flooring before the source is noticed. Pressure Tank Leak Team sends a crew to remove water and check where it has traveled.
A tank fitting can spray into drywall before anyone sees a puddle. The equipment trade corrects the fitting, while restoration pros inspect the soaked wall.
