Leak Detection and Repair, Slab & Yard Leaks

Hidden water leaks can cause thousands of dollars in damage before you even know they exist. Whether it is a slab leak under your foundation, a pinhole leak in the wall, or a slow drip under the house, we find it and fix it without tearing your home apart.

Signs You Have a Hidden Leak

A water bill that jumped. Your usage has not changed, but the bill has gone up.
The meter moves with everything off. Turn off every faucet and appliance. If the meter still spins, water is going somewhere.
Running water you can hear. The sound of water running in a wall or under the floor when nothing is on.
Wet or soggy spots in the yard. A green, spongy, or standing-water patch over the water line, even in dry weather.
Warm spots on the floor. A hot water line leaking under the slab can warm the floor above it.
Musty smell, damp walls or floors. Moisture from a hidden leak can lead to mold behind walls and under floors.

How We Find Leaks Without Destruction

We primarily use acoustic listening with electronic ground microphones and tracer gas detection to locate hidden leaks. We use pressure testing as needed and thermal imaging occasionally for hot water side leaks. Once we know where the problem is, we choose the least invasive repair method that will hold up long-term.

Why Fast Action Matters

Water damage gets worse every day a leak goes unrepaired. Wood rots, mold grows, and your foundation can shift if a slab leak is left unchecked. The sooner you call, the smaller the repair and the lower the cost. Waiting always makes it more expensive.
