Our Reviews
That mysterious spike in your water bill? The wet spot that keeps coming back? The sound of running water when everything’s turned off? You’re not imagining it.
Hidden leaks waste thousands of gallons and cost hundreds in unnecessary bills. Worse, they’re quietly damaging your foundation, walls, and creating perfect conditions for mold growth.
Our leak detection service finds exactly where water is escaping before it becomes a major problem. You get precise location data, honest repair estimates, and most importantly—peace of mind that your property is protected.
We’ve been serving Clearing and the greater Chicago area with professional plumbing services. We understand the unique challenges Chicago properties face—from aging infrastructure to freeze-thaw cycles that stress plumbing systems.

Our leak detection service covers every area where water can escape—underground pipes, slab leaks, leaks in walls, and underfloor water leak detection. We use multiple detection methods to ensure accuracy, including electronic amplification, ground microphones, and correlating equipment.
Clearing properties often deal with specific challenges like clay soil movement and older copper pipes that develop pinhole leaks. Our local experience means we know where to look and what signs indicate different types of leaks.
You receive a complete report showing leak locations, severity assessment, and repair recommendations. We also identify potential problem areas that haven’t failed yet, helping you plan for future maintenance and avoid emergency situations.
We use advanced electronic leak detection equipment that listens for the sound of water escaping from pipes. Our acoustic equipment can pinpoint leaks through concrete, soil, and walls without any destructive investigation.
Ground microphones detect the specific frequency of water under pressure escaping from pipes. Electronic amplification equipment traces pipe paths and identifies exactly where the leak is occurring. Thermal imaging shows temperature differences that indicate moisture problems.
This technology is so precise that we can often locate leaks within inches of the actual problem. You get accurate results without the mess, expense, and property damage of exploratory digging.
We detect all types of water leaks common to Clearing and Chicago-area properties. Underground water leak detection covers service lines, sewer lines, and irrigation systems. We find slab leaks under concrete foundations and leaks in walls behind fixtures.
Underfloor water leak detection identifies problems in crawl spaces and basement areas. We also locate leaks in supply lines, drain lines, and water heater connections. Chicago’s freeze-thaw cycles often cause pinhole leaks in copper pipes, which our equipment detects easily.
Pool and spa leaks, outdoor faucet leaks, and sprinkler system problems are also within our detection capabilities. Basically, if water is escaping somewhere it shouldn’t, we can find it.
Most residential leak detection jobs take 2-4 hours, depending on your property size and the complexity of the leak. We start by reviewing your water usage patterns and identifying likely problem areas.
The actual detection process involves methodically checking your plumbing system with our equipment. We’ll walk your property, test different areas, and narrow down the leak location. You’re welcome to observe and ask questions throughout the process.
Once we find the leak, we’ll show you exactly where it is and explain what we discovered. You’ll receive a detailed report with photos, location markers, and repair recommendations before we leave.
Our leak detection methods are completely non-destructive. We don’t dig, drill, or break anything to find leaks. All our equipment works from the surface, detecting leaks through sound, electronic signals, and thermal imaging.
The most invasive thing we might do is remove a toilet or access panel to check specific areas, and we always restore everything exactly as we found it. Your landscaping, flooring, and walls remain untouched during the detection process.
This is a major advantage of professional leak detection—you get precise leak location without the property damage that comes with guesswork digging. If repairs are needed, we know exactly where to work, minimizing any necessary excavation.
Leak detection service typically costs much less than the water damage and high bills that undetected leaks cause. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying.
The cost varies based on property size and complexity, but most residential leak detection jobs are surprisingly affordable. Consider that a single hidden leak can waste thousands of gallons monthly—our service often pays for itself in water bill savings alone.
We also offer leak detection as part of our comprehensive plumbing services. If you need repairs after detection, we can often apply the detection fee toward your repair costs. Call us for specific pricing based on your situation.
With our advanced equipment and experience, we successfully locate leaks in the vast majority of cases. However, if we genuinely cannot locate a leak using our detection methods, we don’t charge you for unsuccessful detection attempts.
Sometimes what appears to be a leak is actually a different plumbing issue, like a running toilet or faulty fixture. We’ll identify these problems and help you resolve them. Other times, intermittent leaks require multiple visits to catch them when they’re active.
Our goal is always to solve your water loss problem, whether that’s finding a hidden leak or identifying other causes of high water usage. We stand behind our detection capabilities and work with you until we have answers.
