Residential and commercial applications
Plumbing leak detection is commonly used for bathrooms, kitchens, water heaters, laundry rooms, and multi-unit buildings where leaks spread between units.
For Austin property owners
Drought conditions followed by heavy rain create a lot of soil movement around plumbing connections. This causes stress fractures in older irrigation and domestic supply lines. We use non-invasive thermal and sonic technology to detect these breaks.
Our technology
Advanced, non-invasive leak detection equipment
We locate the leak first, so repairs open only what needs opening. No guesswork, no unnecessary demolition.
Thermal imaging cameras
Infrared imaging reveals temperature differences behind walls and under floors caused by escaping water.
Acoustic listening
Amplified ground microphones pick up the sound of pressurized water leaking through concrete and soil.
Moisture meters and mapping
Readings in drywall, wood, and concrete trace moisture back toward its source.
Video pipe inspection
Flexible cameras inspect drain and sewer lines for breaks, offsets, and root intrusion.
FAQ
Questions about plumbing leak detection
Is this a supply-line leak or a drain leak?
+
If the water appears only when fixtures are running, a drain line is the most likely candidate. Continuous moisture or meter movement indicate a pressurized line. An inspection will confirm it.
Should I turn off my water?
+
If your property is actively being damaged by water, it is recommended to turn off the main valve.
Can a running toilet cause me a high water bill?
+
Yes. Even a leaking flapper can waste a lot of water, so it is always worth checking before you assume that you have a hidden pipe leak.
Can you locate leaks inside walls?
+
Yes. We can use thermal imaging, moisture meters, and acoustic equipment to pinpoint the source of leaks in your walls with minimal disruption.
