Water Leak Detection
Precise location of hidden water leaks in pipes, walls, and under floors without destructive methods.
Non-Invasive Water Leak Detection
Water leaks can cause significant damage to your property if not detected and addressed promptly. Our advanced water leak detection service uses non-invasive technology to precisely locate hidden leaks in pipes, walls, floors, and ceilings without unnecessary demolition or disruption.
Our certified technicians combine acoustic leak detection, thermal imaging, and moisture mapping to identify the exact source of water leaks, saving you time, money, and the stress of extensive repairs.
Signs You May Have a Water Leak
Recognizing these warning signs early can prevent extensive damage to your property.
Unexplained High Water Bills
A sudden increase in your water bill without a change in usage patterns often indicates a hidden leak.
Damp or Discolored Walls/Ceilings
Water stains, bubbling paint, or warped surfaces can indicate water leaking behind walls or above ceilings.
Musty Odors
Persistent musty smells often indicate hidden moisture and potential mold growth from undetected leaks.
Sounds of Running Water
Hearing water running when no fixtures are in use can indicate a leak in your plumbing system.
Reduced Water Pressure
A significant drop in water pressure can indicate a leak in your water supply lines.
Visible Mold Growth
Mold requires moisture to grow, so visible mold often indicates a hidden water leak nearby.
