We combine multiple detection technologies to locate leaks quickly and accurately — protecting your home from unnecessary demolition and inflated repair bills.
We use state-of-the-art electronic amplification equipment to listen for the precise sound of water escaping pressurized pipes — locating leaks behind walls, under slabs, and underground without drilling.
Highly sensitive acoustic sensors detect the unique frequency signature of escaping water vapor. Ideal for pressurized supply lines buried in concrete slabs or soil.
Thermal cameras reveal temperature differences caused by moisture — flagging hidden leaks in walls, ceilings, and under flooring before they cause structural damage.
High-definition pipe cameras travel inside your drain and sewer lines to visually confirm cracks, joint failures, corrosion, and root intrusion — pinpointing the exact repair location.
We isolate sections of your plumbing and apply pressure to verify leak presence, location, and severity. Crucial for post-repair verification and pre-purchase inspections.
For deeply buried or extremely difficult-to-locate leaks, we inject a harmless tracer gas (hydrogen/nitrogen blend). The gas escapes through the leak point and is detected at the surface.
Traditional leak detection meant opening walls and jackhammering slabs until the leak was found. Our electronic approach pinpoints the exact location first — so we only open what we absolutely need to. Less mess, less cost, faster results.
From slab leaks to hidden pipe failures, we handle every type of leak — and we don't stop until we've verified the repair is holding.
Slab leaks occur when pipes beneath your concrete foundation fail. Left untreated they cause foundation damage, mold, and skyrocketing water bills. We locate and repair slab leaks with minimal concrete removal.
Leaks concealed inside walls, ceilings, and under flooring are silent destroyers. Thermal imaging and acoustic tools find them fast — we repair the pipe and patch the opening cleanly.
Buried supply and irrigation lines can corrode, shift, or fracture over time. We use tracer gas and acoustic detection to locate underground leaks without trenching your entire yard.
A running water meter with all fixtures off is a telltale sign of a pressurized supply line leak. We trace the path from meter to home and isolate the failure point quickly.
After every repair we conduct a full pressure test and electronic sweep to confirm the leak is gone — not just sealed on the surface. Your 12-month workmanship guarantee starts here.
When leak detection uncovers aging galvanized or polybutylene pipes with multiple failure points, repiping may be more cost-effective than repeated repairs. We provide honest written estimates for both options.
Our flat diagnostic fee covers electronic leak detection, pressure testing, and a written report with repair options. No surprise charges. If we find it, we fix it.
