Leak detection & repair
We find leaks with microphones, not jackhammers.
Acoustic listening gear and thermal imaging pinpoint hidden leaks in slabs, walls, and yards — usually within an hour — so the repair happens through one small, planned opening instead of exploratory demolition.
Sound familiar?
The quiet signs of a hidden leak.
The most common first clue. A pinhole slab leak can waste thousands of gallons a month without a single visible drip.
A hot-line slab leak heating the concrete from below. Pets napping on one spot is a real diagnostic we've used.
Everything's off, but you hear it in the walls at night. Your plumbing is telling on itself.
Pressure that faded over weeks often means supply water is going somewhere it shouldn't.
Moisture wicking up through the slab into flooring — time matters before it becomes a mold conversation.
The definitive test. Shut every fixture, watch the meter: if it moves, call us.
What we do
Pinpointed, then repaired through one small opening.
The whole point of detection is a surgical repair — not a torn-up house.
- Acoustic detection: ground microphones triangulate the leak under slab or soil
- Thermal imaging: hot-line leaks light up through flooring without a single cut
- Static pressure testing: isolates which line is losing — supply, drain, or irrigation
- Slab leak repair: direct access through a planned cut, or a reroute overhead when smarter
- Wall & ceiling leaks: pinpointed and repaired with one access panel, patched paint-ready
- Insurance-ready documentation: photos, moisture readings, and a written cause-of-loss report
Instruments narrow the leak to inches — usually within the hour.
Direct repair vs. reroute, priced side by side with our recommendation.
One planned cut, pressure-tested repair, documentation for your insurer.
Quick answers
Hidden leaks, answered straight.
How do you find a leak under concrete?
Pressurized water escaping a pipe makes a distinct sound. Ground microphones read it through the slab while thermal imaging confirms hot-line leaks. Between the two, we mark the spot within inches before any cutting.
Repair the leak or reroute the line?
A single leak in an otherwise healthy line: direct repair. A second leak in the same aging soft-copper system: rerouting overhead usually beats chasing failures one slab cut at a time. We quote both and tell you which we'd choose in our own house.
Will insurance cover it?
Policies commonly cover the access and water damage, not the plumbing repair itself — but every policy differs. Our written report with photos and moisture readings is built to make your adjuster's job easy.
How fast should I act?
Slab leaks don't heal. Every week adds water damage, foundation risk, and bill dollars. Detection today is nearly always the cheapest version of this problem.
