You know something’s wrong. Maybe it’s that wet spot in your yard that won’t dry up, or warm patches on your basement floor that shouldn’t be there. Your water bill keeps climbing, but you can’t figure out why.
Hidden leaks don’t announce themselves until they’ve already caused serious damage. By then, you’re looking at destroyed flooring, ruined drywall, or worse—structural problems that cost thousands to fix.
Our leak detection service finds the exact source of your water leak using advanced technology that pinpoints problems without destroying your property. No guesswork. No unnecessary digging. Just accurate results that save you money and protect your home.

Our leak detection service covers every type of water leak that can damage your Hoffman Estates property. Underground water leaks from main lines or sprinkler systems. Leaks in walls from supply lines or fixtures. Under-slab leaks that can undermine your foundation.
Hoffman Estates sits on clay-rich soil that expands and contracts with weather changes, putting extra stress on underground pipes. Many homes in the area were built during rapid development periods when installation standards varied. These factors make professional leak detection especially important here.
We use the same advanced equipment that major utilities rely on—acoustic detection for underground leaks, thermal imaging for wall leaks, and pressure testing to confirm our findings. This technology lets us give you definitive answers about your leak problems.
We use non-invasive technology including acoustic sensors that detect the sound of water escaping from pipes and thermal imaging that shows temperature differences caused by leaking water. These tools let us pinpoint leak locations within inches without any digging or wall removal.
For underground leaks, acoustic equipment picks up the distinct sound signature of water under pressure escaping through pipe cracks or joint failures. Thermal imaging shows us temperature variations that indicate moisture problems behind walls or under floors.
This approach saves you money on repairs and gets your leak fixed faster since we’re not spending time on exploratory digging or wall opening.
Call us if you notice unexplained increases in your water bill, wet spots in your yard that don’t dry up, warm or soft spots on concrete floors, or the sound of running water when all fixtures are off. These are classic signs of hidden leaks that need professional attention.
You might also see water stains on walls or ceilings, notice a musty smell in certain areas, or find that your water pressure has decreased. In Hoffman Estates, clay soil can shift and crack pipes, so foundation settling or new cracks in your basement walls can also indicate underground leaks.
Don’t wait for visible water damage to appear. Early detection prevents thousands in repair costs and protects your home’s structural integrity.
Most residential leak detection takes 1-3 hours depending on your property size and the complexity of the problem. Simple cases where we can quickly isolate the area take less time, while comprehensive whole-house leak searches may take longer.
We start with the most likely problem areas based on your symptoms and our experience with Hoffman Estates properties. This targeted approach usually gets us to the source quickly. If we need to expand our search, we’ll let you know why and how long it will take.
Our goal is accuracy, not speed. We’d rather take the time to find the exact problem than give you a quick guess that leads to unnecessary repairs.
Yes, older homes are actually where our leak detection service is most valuable. Many Hoffman Estates homes built in the 1960s-1980s have original plumbing that’s reaching the end of its expected lifespan. Cast iron, galvanized steel, and early plastic pipes all develop specific types of leaks as they age.
Our equipment works especially well on older plumbing because these materials conduct sound differently than modern pipes, making leaks easier to detect acoustically. We also understand how these older systems were installed and where problems typically develop.
Older homes often have multiple small leaks rather than one major failure. Our comprehensive detection process finds all problem areas so you can prioritize repairs and avoid future surprises.
Yes, we offer same-day leak detection service for urgent situations in Hoffman Estates. If you’re seeing active water damage, have flooding, or your water meter is spinning even with everything turned off, we’ll prioritize your call and get someone out the same day.
For non-emergency leak detection, we typically schedule within 24-48 hours. This gives us time to bring the right equipment for your specific situation and ensures we can complete the job properly without rushing.
We also provide 24/7 emergency service for situations where water is actively damaging your property. In these cases, stopping the immediate problem comes first, then we do comprehensive leak detection to find any additional issues.
Once we locate your leak, we explain exactly what we found, show you the problem area if possible, and provide upfront pricing for the repair. You get all the information you need to make an informed decision about how to proceed.
We can handle most leak repairs immediately if you choose to move forward. For complex jobs that require permits or extensive excavation, we’ll schedule the work at your convenience and coordinate any necessary inspections.
You’re never pressured to use our repair services. Some customers prefer to get multiple quotes for major work, and we respect that choice. Our leak detection findings give you the specific information any contractor needs to provide accurate estimates.
