Our licensed pros combine advanced technology with seasoned troubleshooting to find the source fast and recommend the right repair the first time.

Leak Detection

Professional detection of concealed water leaks in supply lines, fixtures, slabs, crawlspaces, and underground piping. We locate the problem accurately to minimize wall cuts, property damage, and downtime—and we provide clear repair options before any work begins.

Slab Leak Detection

Warm spots on floors, running water sounds with no fixtures on, or sudden high bills can signal a hot or cold water line leaking beneath your concrete slab. We apply acoustic listening, infrared imaging, and pressure isolation to pinpoint the break without needless demo.

Underground & Yard Leak Detection

Saturated soil, greener patches of grass, or meter movement when water is off can mean a service line leak. Our ground microphones and tracer gas techniques help locate it to the foot, so repairs are targeted and cost-effective.

Fixture & Valve Leak Isolation

Leaking shower valves, toilet supply lines, and under-sink connections waste water and cause cabinet or subfloor damage. We isolate each fixture’s supply to confirm or rule out the culprit quickly.

Irrigation & Auxiliary Line Leak Checks

Cross-connected systems like irrigation and water softeners can mask or mimic household leaks. We test each auxiliary line to ensure an accurate diagnosis.

Our Leak Detection Methods

We invest in professional-grade tools so your home doesn’t become a guessing game.

Acoustic Listening

Specialized microphones and amplifiers “hear” turbulence from escaping water inside walls, under slabs, or below grade. This lets us zero in on the highest signal and mark the leak’s location with minimal disruption.

Infrared Thermal Imaging

Thermal cameras reveal temperature differences caused by hot water leaks or evaporative cooling around cold leaks. We scan floors, ceilings, and walls to map suspected leak paths.

Moisture Meters & Hygrometers

Surface and pin-type meters help us identify damp building materials and confirm hidden moisture behind tile, drywall, or flooring—ideal for guiding precise, limited access points.

Pressure & Meter Isolation Testing

By isolating sections of the plumbing system and monitoring pressures (and your water meter), we determine whether the leak is on the hot, cold, fixture, or main service side.

Video Pipe Inspection

For drain and sewer concerns, we feed high-resolution cameras through the line to spot cracks, separations, or root intrusions that allow water to escape or infiltrate.

Tracer Gas & Electronic Leak Detection

On difficult underground or slab cases, safe tracer gases and electronic sniffers help identify the precise escape point—especially useful when acoustics are inconclusive

Symptoms You Shouldn’t Ignore

Catching leaks early protects your home, wallet, and health.

Unexpected spike in your water bill
The meter dial moves when all fixtures and appliances are off
Warm or damp spots on floors; loose or cupped hardwood
Musty odors, mold growth, or peeling/bubbling paint
Constant sound of running water with no fixtures on
Reduced water pressure or intermittent hot water
Soggy patches in the yard, fence-line sinkholes, or lush green strips

If any of these ring true, schedule an inspection—timely leak detection pays for itself by preventing structural and mold damage.
