Our Reviews
You’re not imagining that spike in your water bill. Hidden leaks waste thousands of gallons and cost hundreds in unnecessary utility charges every month.
When we find your leak using non-invasive technology, you get your peace of mind back. No more wondering if water is silently destroying your foundation, walls, or flooring while you sleep.
Your property value stays protected. Your monthly bills drop back to normal. And you avoid the nightmare of major water damage repairs that can cost tens of thousands.
We’ve served Chicago and surrounding areas for years, understanding exactly how Ashburn’s aging infrastructure creates unique leak challenges. We know the freeze-thaw cycles here weaken pipe joints and cause slow leaks that gradually worsen.
Unlike companies that use guesswork and trial-and-error methods, we invest in professional-grade detection equipment. Our licensed, bonded, and insured technicians have seen every type of leak Ashburn properties face.
We’re the local team that shows up when we say we will, explains what we found in plain English, and gives you upfront pricing before any work begins.
First, we listen to your concerns and inspect visible signs like damp spots, unusual water bills, or musty odors. This helps us understand where to focus our detection efforts.
Next, we deploy advanced equipment including infrared cameras, acoustic sensors, and electromagnetic locators. These tools pinpoint leak locations through walls, under slabs, and underground without any digging or cutting.
Finally, we show you exactly what we found and explain your repair options. You get a clear assessment of the leak’s severity and a transparent estimate for fixing it properly.

Every leak detection service includes a comprehensive inspection using multiple detection methods. We check for plumbing leaks, slab leaks, and underground water leaks using thermal imaging, acoustic detection, and pressure testing.
In Ashburn, we pay special attention to areas where Chicago’s temperature fluctuations commonly cause problems. Basement walls, foundation areas, and main water lines get extra scrutiny because these spots fail most often in our climate.
You receive a detailed report showing exactly where any leaks are located, photos of problem areas, and recommendations for immediate and long-term solutions. No guesswork, no surprises.
We use thermal imaging cameras and acoustic sensors that detect temperature changes and sound signatures created by escaping water. These tools work through drywall, concrete, and other materials without any damage to your property.
The thermal camera shows us temperature variations where water is cooling or heating surfaces differently than surrounding areas. Acoustic equipment picks up the specific sound frequencies that moving water creates, even when the leak is very small.
This combination lets us pinpoint leak locations within inches, so if any cutting is needed for repairs, it’s minimal and targeted to the exact problem spot.
Watch for unexplained increases in your water bill, even when your usage habits haven’t changed. A jump of 20% or more often indicates a hidden leak somewhere in your system.
Look for wet spots in your yard, especially areas that stay soggy even when it hasn’t rained recently. You might also notice your water pressure dropping, hear water running when all fixtures are off, or see cracks appearing in your foundation or driveway.
In Ashburn’s climate, pay attention to areas where grass stays unusually green during dry periods or where you see settling or sinking in your landscaping. These are classic signs of underground leaks.
Professional leak detection equipment can locate leaks with over 95% accuracy when operated by trained technicians. Our infrared cameras detect temperature differences as small as 0.1 degrees, while acoustic sensors pick up sounds humans can’t hear.
The key is using multiple detection methods together and having experience interpreting the results. We don’t rely on just one tool – we cross-reference findings from thermal imaging, acoustic detection, and pressure testing to confirm exact locations.
This accuracy means we can tell you precisely where to dig or cut, saving you money on unnecessary demolition and getting your leak fixed faster with minimal property disruption.
Yes, slab leak detection is one of our specialties. We use ground-penetrating radar and acoustic equipment specifically designed to work through concrete and locate leaks in pipes running underneath your foundation.
The process involves scanning the slab surface with specialized sensors that detect moisture, temperature changes, and sound signatures from leaking pipes below. We can map your entire under-slab plumbing system and identify problem areas.
Once we locate the leak, we’ll discuss repair options that might include spot repairs, pipe rerouting, or repiping depending on the leak’s location and your plumbing system’s overall condition. You’ll know all your options before any concrete gets broken.
Most residential leak detection takes 1-3 hours depending on your home’s size and the complexity of the problem. Simple cases where we’re checking one area might take just 30-45 minutes.
Comprehensive whole-house leak detection, including checking all water lines, fixtures, and potential problem areas, typically takes 2-3 hours. We don’t rush the process because missing a leak means you’ll have the same problems later.
Commercial properties or homes with complex plumbing systems might take longer, but we’ll give you a time estimate upfront. Emergency leak detection gets priority scheduling, and we often provide same-day service for urgent situations.
If our comprehensive inspection doesn’t reveal any leaks, you still get valuable information about your plumbing system’s condition. We’ll document what we checked and provide recommendations for monitoring potential problem areas.
Sometimes high water bills have other causes like running toilets, dripping faucets, or irrigation system issues that aren’t technically “leaks” but still waste water. We’ll identify these problems during our inspection.
You’ll receive a written report confirming that your major water lines and plumbing systems are leak-free, which gives you peace of mind and can be valuable documentation for insurance purposes or future home sales.
