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
• Irrigation and landscape lines — a major source of invisible water waste in Valley yards
• 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.
