South Deering residents choose us because we know the neighborhood, understand the local plumbing challenges, and treat your property like it’s our own.
First, we listen to your concerns and inspect the obvious signs—high water bills, damp spots, or unusual sounds. Then we bring out the technology that separates us from companies that just guess and dig.
Our professional-grade equipment includes acoustic detection tools that hear leaks your ears can’t, thermal imaging that shows temperature differences where water is escaping, and video cameras that can travel through your pipes to see problems from the inside. We’re not cutting holes in your walls or digging up your yard until we know exactly where the problem is.
Once we’ve pinpointed the leak’s location, we explain what we found, show you the most cost-effective repair options, and get to work fixing it right. You’ll know exactly what we’re doing and why before we start.

Our leak detection service covers every type of water leak you might face in South Deering. We locate leaks in walls, under concrete slabs, in your yard, and anywhere else water might be escaping. Whether it’s a pinhole leak in a copper pipe or a major break in your main water line, we have the tools to find it.
South Deering’s older homes often have galvanized pipes that are prone to corrosion, while newer construction might have issues with shifting soil affecting underground lines. We’ve seen it all in this neighborhood and know exactly what to look for.
Our service includes a thorough inspection of the surrounding area to make sure we haven’t missed any other potential problems. You get a complete picture of your plumbing system’s condition, not just a quick fix for the immediate issue.
We use professional-grade acoustic equipment, thermal imaging, and video camera inspection to locate leaks without cutting into walls or digging up your yard unnecessarily. Our acoustic tools can hear the sound of water escaping from pipes, even when it’s too faint for human ears to detect.
Thermal imaging shows us temperature differences where water is cooling or heating surfaces differently than they should be. Video cameras can travel through your existing plumbing to inspect pipes from the inside. This technology lets us pinpoint the exact location of your leak before we do any invasive work.
Only after we’ve confirmed the leak’s precise location do we make the minimal cuts or excavation needed to access and repair the problem. This approach saves you money on unnecessary repairs to your property.
The most common signs include an unexpectedly high water bill, the sound of running water when all fixtures are turned off, and damp or discolored spots on walls or ceilings. You might also notice a decrease in water pressure, musty odors that could indicate mold growth, or warm spots on your floor if you have a slab leak.
Outside your home, look for unusually green or soggy patches in your yard, especially during dry weather. Cracks in your foundation or driveway can also indicate an underground leak that’s washing away soil beneath the concrete.
If your water meter continues to run when you’re not using any water, that’s a clear sign you have a leak somewhere in your system. Don’t ignore these warning signs—early detection can save you thousands in water damage repairs.
Our leak detection service starts with a diagnostic fee that covers the time and technology needed to locate your leak. The exact cost depends on the complexity of your situation—a simple acoustic detection might cost less than a comprehensive inspection requiring multiple technologies.
We provide upfront pricing before we start any work, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying. Many homeowners find that our diagnostic fee is quickly offset by the money saved on their water bills once the leak is fixed, not to mention avoiding the much higher costs of water damage repairs.
If you choose us for the repair work, we often apply the diagnostic fee toward your total repair cost. We believe in transparent pricing with no surprise charges, and we’ll explain all your options before you make any decisions.
Absolutely. Many South Deering homes have galvanized pipes that are 50-80 years old, and these pipes are particularly prone to corrosion and pinhole leaks. Our acoustic detection equipment is especially effective with these older metal pipes because they conduct sound well.
We also use electromagnetic pipeline locators to trace the exact path of buried galvanized lines, which helps us understand your entire plumbing layout before we start looking for leaks. This is crucial in older homes where the original plumbing layout might not match what you’d expect.
Our experience with South Deering’s housing stock means we know the common failure points in these older systems and can often predict where problems are likely to develop next. This helps you plan for future maintenance and avoid emergency situations.
Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency leak detection services throughout South Deering and the greater Chicago area. Water leaks don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. If you discover a major leak that’s causing active damage to your property, call us immediately.
Our emergency service includes rapid response to stop ongoing water damage, temporary repairs to control the situation, and full leak detection once the immediate crisis is handled. We understand that every minute counts when water is damaging your home or business.
For emergency situations, we prioritize getting someone to your location quickly to assess the situation and stop further damage. Then we can perform the detailed leak detection work needed to find and permanently fix the underlying problem.
Most leak detection jobs take 1-3 hours, depending on the complexity of your plumbing system and the location of the leak. Simple leaks in accessible areas might be located within an hour, while complex underground leaks or multiple leak situations can take longer.
We don’t rush the process because accuracy is more important than speed. It’s better to spend extra time with our detection equipment than to make unnecessary cuts in your walls or dig up your yard in the wrong places. Our thorough approach actually saves time overall because we get it right the first time.
Once we’ve located your leak, we’ll give you a clear timeline for the repair work. Emergency situations get priority scheduling, and we often can complete both detection and repair in the same visit for straightforward problems.
