Leak Detection & Repair

Mystery water bill? Warm spot on the floor? We locate hidden leaks with acoustic and thermal equipment — no exploratory demolition.

Hidden leaks are silent budget killers: a pinhole slab leak can waste thousands of gallons a month while quietly destroying your foundation. The old way to find one was to start breaking concrete and hope. We use acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging, and tracer gas to pinpoint leaks within inches — before anyone picks up a jackhammer.

Once located, we'll walk you through the repair options. Sometimes it's a targeted spot repair; for copper systems with recurring pinholes, a reroute or repipe often costs less over five years than fixing leaks one at a time. You'll get a firm quote for each path, and we handle drywall-ready patching so your painter has a clean canvas.

Watch for the warning signs: unexplained jumps in your water bill, the sound of running water when everything is off, warm spots on floors, musty smells, or a water meter that spins with all fixtures closed.

Leak Detection & Repair FAQs

How do I know if I have a hidden leak?

Close every fixture and check your water meter — if it's still moving, water is going somewhere. Other signs: unexplained bill increases, warm floor spots, musty odors, or the sound of running water in quiet rooms.

Does homeowners insurance cover leak repairs?

Policies typically cover the resulting water damage, and sometimes access and repair costs — but rarely the plumbing part itself. We provide detailed documentation and photos to support your claim either way.
