Hidden leaks often show up as a water bill that rises without explanation, the sound of running water when nothing is on, warm spots on a floor, damp or stained drywall, musty odors, mold, or a water meter that keeps moving when all fixtures are off. If you notice any of these, a leak test can confirm the problem before it causes major damage.
We start by isolating the system to narrow down where the leak is, then use non-invasive tools such as acoustic listening equipment, moisture meters and thermal imaging to pinpoint the source. That lets us open only a small, targeted area for the repair instead of cutting holes until we find it.
A slab leak is a leak in a water line running under or inside a concrete foundation. Signs include warm spots on the floor, cracked tile, the sound of water under the floor and unexplained high water bills. Depending on the location and pipe condition, we repair the section through the slab or reroute the line through walls or ceilings, which is often faster and less disruptive.
The most common causes we find are high water pressure, worn fittings and supply lines, freeze damage from cold snaps, corrosion of older pipe, and failed shutoff valves under sinks and toilets. Fixing the leak is only half the job, so we also check pressure and the surrounding plumbing to keep it from happening again.
Turn off the water at the nearest fixture valve or at the main shutoff, move valuables away from the area, and soak up standing water to limit damage. Take photos for your insurance company. Then call us. If water is near electrical outlets or fixtures, shut off power to that area before you touch anything.
Many policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, such as a burst pipe, but not long-term leaks or wear. Coverage varies, so check your policy. We document what we find and what we repair, which helps when you file a claim.
