What is going on
Hidden leaks show up indirectly. A water bill jumps. A meter moves when nothing is running. A wall feels damp, a ceiling stains, floors warp, or mildew smell will not go away. The water could be coming from a supply line, a drain, a shower pan, a toilet seal, or an outdoor line. Opening walls to hunt for it is expensive and messy. Detection narrows the search so the repair opening is small and in the right spot.
What we check
- 01
Meter test
Every fixture off, meter watched to confirm a supply leak exists.
- 02
Isolation
House supply split from irrigation and outdoor lines to narrow the area.
- 03
Pressure testing
Sections of pipe tested to find which one is losing pressure.
- 04
Acoustic and thermal
Listening for leak noise and scanning for heat or moisture patterns.
- 05
Moisture mapping
Walls, floors and ceilings checked to define the wet zone.
Your options
Interior leak locate
Hidden supply or drain leak inside walls or ceilings.
Slab leak locate
Leak under the foundation on a slab home.
Yard line locate
Main water line or irrigation leak between the meter and the house.
Before we get there
Write down your last few water bills and any recent jumps. Do a meter test: turn everything off for fifteen minutes and see if the dial moves. Clear furniture away from damp walls or warm floor spots so we can get tools on them.
