What This Service Covers
The leaks that worry homeowners most are the ones they can't see. Water moving inside a wall cavity, under a concrete slab, or beneath a floor can go unnoticed for weeks, quietly warping wood, breeding mould and driving up a water bill, all before anyone spots a wet spot. Leak detection is about tracking that source down before it becomes a much bigger repair.
Rather than opening up walls or floors on a guess, we use listening equipment and moisture readings to narrow down where the water is actually escaping. That approach saves both time and unnecessary drywall or flooring damage compared to cutting in blind.
What's Included
- Non-invasive leak tracing using listening and moisture-detection equipment
- Investigation of unexplained water bill increases
- Checks behind walls, under slabs, and along underground supply lines
- Confirmation of the source before any drywall, flooring or concrete is opened
- A clear repair recommendation once the leak is located
What to Expect
Tell us what you've noticed — a higher bill, a damp patch, a musty smell, or a sound of running water with nothing turned on — since each of those points us toward a different part of the system. We work through the likely areas methodically, using equipment to pinpoint the source rather than opening things up on a hunch, and walk you through exactly where the leak is and what caused it before recommending a fix.
Worth Scheduling Soon
A water bill that's climbed without an obvious reason, a faint musty smell in one area, or a soft spot in flooring that isn't getting worse quickly.
Call Right Away
Visible water stains spreading on a ceiling or wall, or the sound of running water you can't locate — that's an emergency plumbing situation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you find a leak without tearing open the wall?
We use listening equipment, moisture readings and a process of isolating sections of the supply line to narrow down the source before any opening is made, so we're only cutting into the area that actually needs it.
My water bill jumped but I can't see any leak. What's going on?
A rising water bill without a visible leak is one of the clearest signs of a hidden leak, often behind a wall, under a slab, or along an underground line running to the house.
Is a musty smell always a sign of a leak?
Not always, but a persistent musty or mildew smell with no obvious source is common when moisture is sitting inside a wall or floor cavity, and it's worth having checked.
What happens after you find the leak?
We'll show you exactly where it is and what caused it, then give you a clear price to repair it. Depending on where it's located, that might be a straightforward pipe repair or, for widespread corrosion, a conversation about repiping.
