Leak Detection

Most leaks in the Valley hide underground or behind walls. Our soil shifts, our hard water is tough on copper, and a pressurized supply line under a concrete slab can lose water 24 hours a day without a single visible drop indoors. By the time you see damage, the leak has usually been running for months.

That’s why finding the leak is its own skill, and why we invest in equipment that locates it precisely instead of guessing. Acoustic sensors pick up the sound of water escaping a pressurized line through concrete. Thermal imaging maps temperature differences across a slab to pinpoint a hot water leak. Pressure isolation testing tells us whether the problem is on the hot side, the cold side, or in a drain. Electronic line tracing maps where your pipes actually run, which is rarely where the blueprints say.

The goal is a small, targeted repair instead of an exploratory demolition. We tell you where the leak is, what it will take to fix it, and what it will cost — before anyone picks up a jackhammer.

What We Find

• Slab leaks — supply lines under your foundation, the most common and most damaging leak in Arizona homes
• Pressure loss — whole-house pressure drops that point to a leak upstream of your fixtures
• Water heater and supply line leaks — often caught before they flood a garage or hallway
• Sewer and drain line leaks — confirmed with in-line camera inspection
• Wall and ceiling leaks — located without opening drywall across the whole room

Signs You Have a Hidden Leak

• Your water bill jumped compared to the same month last year
• You hear running water with every fixture and appliance turned off
• A spot on the floor is warm underfoot
• Water pressure dropped throughout the whole house
• New cracks in tile, grout, drywall, or baseboards
• A musty smell, or damp carpet with no obvious source
• An unusually green or soggy patch in an otherwise dry yard

A two-minute test you can run yourself: shut off every water fixture inside and outside, then check the leak indicator on your water meter. If it’s still moving, water is escaping somewhere in your system. That’s worth a call.
