Leak Detection
Not every leak is visible. Some hide behind walls, under floors, or underground, showing up only as a higher water bill, a damp spot, or low pressure. Leak detection finds the source so the repair can be targeted instead of exploratory.
Common reasons you may need this service
- Your water bill has risen without a clear reason.
- You hear water running when nothing is on.
- A wall, ceiling, or floor is damp or discolored.
- Pressure has dropped in part of the property.
- You see warm spots on a floor (possible slab leak).
Typical tasks and considerations
- Reviewing symptoms and water-use patterns.
- Isolating sections of the system to narrow the area.
- Locating the leak as precisely as possible.
- Marking the spot for a targeted repair.
- Explaining what was found and the repair options.
Common problems and possible causes
Hidden pinhole leak
Small pinhole leaks in copper lines can run quietly for weeks. Locating them precisely keeps the repair small.
Slab leak
A leak under a concrete slab can warm the floor above and raise bills. Locating it before opening the slab limits disruption.
Underground line leak
Buried supply lines can leak without surfacing. Narrowing the location avoids digging up the whole yard.
