Our leak detection services cover every area where water problems develop. We locate leaks in walls using acoustic equipment that detects the sound of water movement behind surfaces. For underfloor water leak detection, we use moisture meters and thermal imaging to identify problem areas without removing flooring.
Underground water leak detection requires specialized equipment that traces water lines and identifies breaks in buried pipes. This prevents the need for exploratory digging that damages landscaping and driveways unnecessarily.
Thornton Junction properties face unique challenges from seasonal ground movement and aging infrastructure. Our detection methods account for these local factors, ensuring we find leaks that might be missed by less experienced technicians. Every detection includes a detailed explanation of findings and recommended solutions tailored to your specific situation.
Leak detection costs typically range from $200 to $500, depending on the complexity and location of the suspected leak. This investment often saves thousands in prevented water damage and targeted repairs instead of extensive exploratory work.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what to expect. The cost of detection is usually offset by avoiding unnecessary demolition, preventing ongoing water waste, and stopping damage before it becomes expensive to repair.
Many property owners find that professional detection pays for itself through lower water bills and prevented damage costs within the first month after repairs are completed.
Yes, our electronic leak detection equipment locates leaks in walls without cutting holes or removing drywall. We use acoustic detection that listens for the sound of water movement and moisture meters that identify wet areas behind surfaces.
This non-invasive approach pinpoints leak locations accurately, allowing for minimal access holes only where repairs are actually needed. Instead of tearing out entire wall sections to search for problems, we identify the exact spot and make targeted repairs.
The detection process typically takes 1-2 hours and leaves your walls intact until we’ve confirmed the precise repair location. This saves significant time, money, and cleanup compared to exploratory demolition methods.
Most leak detection jobs are completed within 2-4 hours, depending on property size and the number of suspected leak areas. Simple single-location detection might take as little as an hour, while comprehensive whole-house inspections require more time.
We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine while ensuring thorough coverage of all potential problem areas. Our technicians explain the process as they work and provide real-time updates on findings.
Emergency leak detection is available 24/7 for urgent situations where active leaks are causing ongoing damage. In these cases, we prioritize quick response to stop immediate problems while conducting comprehensive detection to prevent future issues.
Unexplained increases in water bills are often the first sign of hidden leaks, especially when usage patterns haven’t changed. Mysterious wet spots on walls, ceilings, or floors indicate moisture problems that require professional investigation.
Other warning signs include the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, musty odors suggesting mold growth, and warm spots on floors that might indicate hot water line leaks. Foundation cracks or settling can also result from underground leaks affecting soil conditions.
Don’t wait for visible damage to appear. Early detection prevents minor leaks from becoming major problems that require extensive repairs and mold remediation. If you suspect a leak but can’t locate it, professional detection provides definitive answers and prevents ongoing damage.
Yes, we specialize in underground water leak detection using advanced equipment that traces buried water lines and identifies breaks without excavation. Our detection methods work on both service lines from the street and private lines running between buildings.
Underground leak detection uses acoustic equipment and ground penetrating technology to locate problems beneath driveways, sidewalks, and landscaping. We mark exact leak locations before any digging begins, minimizing property damage and restoration costs.
Thornton Junction’s soil conditions and seasonal ground movement create unique challenges for underground lines. Our local experience helps us identify problem areas common in the region and provide solutions that account for these environmental factors affecting your property’s plumbing system.
Insurance coverage for leak detection varies by policy, but many insurers cover detection costs when performed to prevent or investigate covered water damage claims. Some policies include coverage for locating leaks that cause sudden, accidental damage.
We recommend contacting your insurance provider to discuss coverage before scheduling detection services. We can provide detailed invoices and documentation needed for insurance claims when applicable.
Even when not covered by insurance, professional leak detection typically costs far less than the water damage, mold remediation, and structural repairs that result from undetected leaks. The investment in detection often prevents much larger insurance claims and out-of-pocket expenses down the road.
