Leak Detection

Leak detection locates water escaping inside walls, under slabs, or underground without demolishing the property. Technicians use meter isolation, acoustic equipment, thermal imaging, moisture meters, and tracer gas.

How to tell you have a hidden leak

  • The water meter moves with everything off
  • Bills rise with no change in usage
  • Persistent damp spots, staining, or musty smell
  • Warm areas on the floor
  • Mold appearing in one recurring spot

What detection involves

The process is diagnostic: isolate the system to confirm loss, separate hot from cold, then pinpoint the location with listening equipment or tracer gas. The output is a location and a recommended repair approach — not the repair itself, though many providers do both.

Frequently asked questions

Can leak detection find leaks in the yard?

Yes. Service line leaks between the meter and the house are commonly located with acoustic equipment and ground microphones.
