Water Leak Detection
Expert Solutions for Hidden Water Leaks
Not all leaks are obvious. While a dripping faucet is easy to spot, many leaks hide behind walls, under floors, or beneath concrete slabs. These hidden leaks can silently damage your home’s structure, create mold growth, and drive up your water bills. Our highly trained technicians use state-of-the-art technology to locate leaks quickly and accurately without unnecessary damage to your property.
With years of hands-on experience and the latest diagnostic tools, we make sure you get answers fast so repairs can begin right away.
Signs You May Have a Water Leak
Detecting a leak early is key to preventing expensive damage. Call us if you notice any of these warning signs:
- Unexpected Water Bill Spikes – Even a slow leak can waste hundreds of gallons a month, and it’s often the first clue homeowners notice.
- Damp or Discolored Spots – Moisture trapped inside building materials can lead to structural weakening if ignored.
- Musty or Moldy Odors – In many cases, odor will appear before visible mold growth, making it an early warning sign.
- Low Water Pressure – Fluctuating pressure may also indicate multiple leaks or a larger break in your main line.
- Running Water Sounds – This is especially noticeable at night when the house is quiet.
- Warm Areas on Floors – Hot water slab leaks can cause a constant rise in utility costs if not repaired.
Ignoring these signs can allow the problem to worsen, making repairs more expensive and increasing the risk of property damage.
Common Causes of Water Leaks
Understanding what causes leaks can help prevent them in the future. Some of the most common culprits include:
- Aging or Corroded Pipes – Over time, pipes naturally weaken, making them more prone to cracking.
- Damaged Pipe Joints – The connections where pipes meet can deteriorate or shift over time.
- Slab Leaks – Underground water lines running beneath your home’s foundation can develop leaks from wear or ground movement.
- Faulty Appliances or Fixtures – Dishwashers, washing machines, water heaters, and toilets can all fail and cause leaks.
- Poor Plumbing Installation – Work done without proper techniques can create weak points that eventually fail.
At Advanced Plumbing & HVAC, we not only find the leak, but we identify the cause to ensure the repair lasts.
Our Water Leak Detection Process
We take the guesswork out of finding leaks. Our acoustic leak detectors can identify the sound of water escaping under concrete or behind thick walls. Thermal imaging cameras highlight subtle temperature differences, revealing hidden moisture patterns. Moisture meters measure the exact dampness level in walls and floors, helping confirm a leak before any repair work begins. By combining these methods, we can locate even the most challenging leaks quickly, saving you from unnecessary demolition or exploratory damage.
