Residential and commercial applications
Plumbing leak detection is commonly used for bathrooms, kitchens, water heaters, laundry rooms, and multi-unit buildings where leaks travel between units.
For San Diego property owners
Internal plumbing systems frequently deal with the effects of hard water in the San Diego region. The chemistry of local water can degrade joints and fittings within hidden wall cavities. Our diagnostic tools accurately locate these plumbing leaks without the need for destructive testing.
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 it a supply leak or a drain leak?
+
If water appears only when fixtures operate, a drain is a common suspect. Constant moisture or a moving meter indicate a pressurized line. An inspection confirms which.
Should I shut off my water?
+
If water is causing active damage to your property, shutting off the main valve can minimize damage until the source is detected.
Can a running toilet cause a high water bill?
+
Yes. A leaking flapper can waste a lot of water, so it is worth checking before assuming a hidden pipe leak.
Can you detect leaks inside walls?
+
Yes. Thermal imaging, moisture meters, and acoustic tools help to narrow down leaks behind walls with minimal disruption.
