Overview

Why Homeowners Call Us For Leak Detection & Repair

A rising water bill, a warm spot on the floor, or the constant sound of running water with everything turned off are classic signs of a hidden leak — often behind a wall, under a slab, or underground between the meter and the house.

Instead of tearing out drywall or flooring to search blindly, we use acoustic and electronic leak detection equipment to locate the exact source, then install smart leak-detection and automatic shutoff devices to protect your home going forward.

Our Process

How We Handle Leak Detection & Repair

1

Rule Out The Obvious

We check visible fixtures, toilets, and irrigation lines first — the cheapest leaks to fix.

2

Electronic Detection

Acoustic listening discs and pressure testing narrow the leak to an exact location without demolition.

3

Targeted Access

We open only the precise section of wall, slab, or ground needed to reach the pipe.

4

Repair & Protect

The leak is repaired, and we can install a smart shutoff system that detects future leaks automatically.

Common Questions

Leak Detection & Repair FAQs

We use acoustic listening equipment that detects the sound of escaping water through pipes, walls, and soil, combined with pressure testing to isolate the affected line before any opening is made.
A smart shutoff valve continuously monitors water flow and automatically shuts off your home's water supply if it detects a leak or unusual usage pattern — it's one of the most effective ways to prevent major water damage while you're away.
A slab leak should be addressed promptly — left alone, it can undermine your foundation and lead to serious structural and mold problems. We treat slab leak calls as a priority.
Coverage varies by policy and cause. We provide detailed documentation and photos of the leak and repair that you can submit with your claim.
