First, we listen. Our acoustic equipment picks up sounds your ears can’t hear – the tiny drips and flows that signal trouble behind walls or under floors. This technology lets us pinpoint exactly where the problem is without guessing.
Next, we use thermal imaging and electromagnetic sensors to see what’s happening inside your walls. These tools show us moisture patterns and pipe locations, so we know exactly where to look and what we’re dealing with.
Finally, we give you a clear explanation of what we found and what it’ll take to fix it. You get photos, measurements, and a straightforward repair plan with upfront pricing. No mystery charges, no hidden fees, just honest information so you can make the right decision for your home.

Your leak detection service includes acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging, and electromagnetic pipe location technology. We check walls, floors, ceilings, and underground lines – basically anywhere water can hide and cause problems.
In Gage Park, we pay special attention to the basement and foundation areas where Chicago’s clay soil and freeze-thaw cycles cause the most trouble. Your neighborhood’s older bungalows have specific weak points we know to check, like where original galvanized pipes connect to newer sections.
You also get detailed documentation with photos and measurements – everything you need if you’re filing an insurance claim. We work with your insurance company to make sure they have all the information they need to process your claim quickly.
Leak detection typically costs between $200-$500 depending on your home’s size and the complexity of the search. This investment can save you thousands compared to the $3,000-$8,000 average cost of water damage repair in Chicago.
We provide upfront pricing before we start any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. Most homeowners find that catching a leak early through professional detection costs far less than dealing with the damage after a pipe has been leaking for weeks or months.
If we find a leak and you hire us for the repair, we often apply the detection fee toward your repair cost. This makes the detection essentially free when you need the repair work done.
Yes, our non-invasive technology finds leaks behind walls without cutting holes or causing damage. We use thermal imaging cameras that show temperature differences where water is present, and acoustic equipment that detects the sound of water moving through pipes or dripping inside walls.
Our electromagnetic pipe locators can trace the exact path of pipes behind drywall, so we know where your plumbing runs and where to focus our search. This technology is so precise that when we do need to access a pipe for repairs, we cut the smallest possible opening in exactly the right spot.
This approach saves you money on both the detection and the repair. Instead of cutting multiple exploratory holes, we make one targeted opening and fix the problem efficiently.
Most residential leak detection takes 1-3 hours depending on your home’s size and layout. We start with the most likely problem areas based on your symptoms and the age of your plumbing, then expand the search if needed.
For Gage Park’s typical bungalow homes, we can usually complete a thorough inspection in about 2 hours. Larger homes or properties with complex plumbing systems may take longer, but we’ll give you a time estimate before we start.
Emergency leak detection when you have active water damage happens much faster. We focus immediately on finding and stopping the source of water, usually within 30-60 minutes of arrival.
Watch for water bills that are higher than usual without explanation – this is often the first sign of a hidden leak. Other red flags include musty odors, especially in basements or near walls, and any visible water stains on ceilings or walls.
In Chicago homes, pay attention to changes in water pressure, sounds of running water when no fixtures are in use, and warm spots on floors that might indicate a hot water line leak. After our harsh winters, check for any new cracks in foundation walls or unusual dampness in basements.
Don’t ignore small signs hoping they’ll go away. A leak that starts small can quickly become a major problem, especially in older homes where water can travel through walls and cause damage far from the original source.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency leak detection throughout Gage Park and the greater Chicago area. Water damage doesn’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.
When you call for emergency service, we prioritize finding and stopping active leaks immediately. Our goal is to arrive within 60 minutes and have the water source identified and controlled as quickly as possible to minimize damage.
Emergency detection focuses on stopping ongoing damage first, then providing a complete assessment once the immediate crisis is handled. This approach saves your property and gives you time to make informed decisions about repairs.
Insurance coverage for leak detection varies by policy, but many insurers will cover the cost when it’s part of a covered water damage claim. If we find a leak that has caused damage, the detection cost is often included in your claim settlement.
We provide detailed documentation with photos and measurements that insurance companies need to process claims efficiently. Our reports include the location of the leak, the cause, and the extent of any damage we can see.
Even if detection isn’t covered, it’s usually worth the investment. Spending $200-$500 on professional detection can prevent thousands in water damage that might not be covered by insurance, especially if the damage is considered “gradual” rather than “sudden and accidental.”
