Leak Detection & Testing

Hidden Leaks, Real Damage. Not every plumbing problem announces itself with a puddle on the floor. Some of the most destructive leaks happen behind walls, beneath concrete slabs, and under foundations — places you cannot see until the damage is already done. A hidden leak can waste thousands of gallons of water over weeks or months, driving up your utility bills while silently rotting framing lumber, soaking insulation, and creating conditions for mold growth that puts your family's health at risk.

By the time you notice a stain on the ceiling or a soft spot in the floor, the leak has often been active for a long time. The key is catching it early — and that takes professional equipment and experience.

Professional Detection Equipment. Our team uses professional-grade equipment to locate leaks without unnecessary demolition. Rather than tearing open walls on guesswork, we pinpoint the source accurately so that repairs are targeted and minimally invasive. This means less disruption to your home, faster repairs, and lower overall cost. Whether the leak is in a supply line, a drain pipe, a slab, or a radiant heating system, we have the tools and the training to find it.

We also perform pressure testing on plumbing systems, which is especially important during real estate transactions, after remodels, or when you suspect a slow leak but cannot determine the location. A pressure test tells us definitively whether your system is holding or losing water — and how urgently repairs are needed.

When to Call for Leak Detection. Some signs that you may have a hidden leak are easy to overlook if you are not paying attention. Call us if you notice any of the following:

• Unexplained increases in your water bill with no change in usage
• Damp spots, discoloration, or bubbling paint on walls or ceilings
• The sound of running water when all fixtures are turned off
• Musty or moldy odors in specific areas of your home
• Warm spots on the floor, which may indicate a hot water line leak
• Your water meter continues to move when nothing in the house is running

If any of these apply, do not wait. Leak damage compounds quickly, and what is a small repair today can become a major restoration project next month. Call us at (248) 652-0990 — we are available around the clock.
