Leak Detection Service
Know there's a leak but can't find it? We pinpoint hidden leaks fast and non-invasively, so the repair is targeted instead of a demolition.
Finding the leak is half the battle, and doing it without ripping open walls and floors is what separates a good plumber from an expensive one. We use electronic leak detection, acoustic listening, and pressure testing to locate hidden leaks precisely, whether they're behind a wall, under the yard, or beneath the slab.
- Electronic acoustic leak location
- Pressure testing to isolate the line
- In-wall, underground & under-slab detection
- Precise location = minimal-access repair
- Fast, 24/7 availability
When you need leak detection
Call for detection when the evidence is there but the source isn't obvious: an unexplained jump in your water bill, a wet spot or stain with no clear origin, the sound of running water when everything's off, a drop in pressure, or a water meter that keeps moving when no water is in use. We'll find exactly where it's coming from.
How our detection works
We combine methods to get an exact fix: electronic acoustic equipment that hears water escaping under pressure, line pressure testing to confirm which line is compromised, and, where useful, thermal and moisture readings. The goal is a precise location so the repair opens only what it must. Once we've found it, we walk you through the fix, whether that's a slab leak repair, a spot repair, or something larger.
Frequently asked questions
How does electronic leak detection work?
Specialized acoustic equipment listens for the sound of water escaping a pressurized line, and pressure testing confirms which line is leaking. Together they pinpoint the exact spot without opening walls or floors to look.
Can you detect a leak underground or in the yard?
Yes. We locate underground and irrigation-line leaks as well as in-wall and under-slab leaks, using the method that fits the situation.
How much does leak detection cost?
Detection is priced based on the situation, and it saves money overall by making the repair targeted instead of exploratory. We give you pricing upfront before starting.
What do I do if my water meter is running with everything off?
That usually means an active leak somewhere on your line. Shut off fixtures to confirm, then call us, a moving meter with no water in use is a clear sign detection is needed.
