Our Reviews
You know something’s wrong. Maybe your water bill jumped for no reason. Maybe you hear dripping in the walls. Maybe there’s a damp spot that won’t go away.
Hidden leaks don’t announce themselves until they’ve already done damage. By then, you’re looking at ruined drywall, warped floors, or worse – mold growing behind your walls. In Ford Heights, where many homes have older plumbing systems, these problems happen more often than they should.
When we find your leak fast, you avoid the nightmare. No torn-up walls searching for the source. No weeks of contractors tracking mud through your house. Just precise detection, targeted repair, and your life back to normal.
We’ve served the Chicago area long enough to know what residents in Ford Heights face. We understand the challenges of aging infrastructure and tight budgets.
Our licensed, bonded, and insured technicians use professional-grade equipment – not guesswork. We’ve seen how Chicago’s freeze-thaw cycles crack pipes and how decades-old plumbing systems develop problems. That local knowledge means faster diagnosis and smarter solutions.
You get upfront pricing before we start, experienced professionals who respect your home, and the confidence that comes with working with a company that’s built its reputation one satisfied customer at a time.
First, we listen. You tell us what you’ve noticed – the sounds, the wet spots, the high water bill. That gives us a starting point.
Next, we use thermal imaging cameras and acoustic listening devices to scan your property. The thermal camera shows temperature differences where water is cooling surfaces. The acoustic equipment picks up the sound of water moving where it shouldn’t be. These tools let us pinpoint leaks without cutting into walls or digging up your yard.
Once we locate the problem, we map it out and show you exactly what’s happening. Then we explain your repair options and give you a clear, upfront price. No surprises, no hidden fees – just honest information so you can make the right decision for your situation.

Our leak detection service covers everything from pinhole leaks in walls to major underground breaks. We handle residential properties throughout Ford Heights and know the specific challenges this area presents.
Ford Heights sits on aging infrastructure, much of it installed decades ago. The village has worked to address water system issues, but individual properties still deal with the reality of older pipes. Our equipment can detect leaks in copper, PVC, cast iron, and even the lead service lines that still serve many Chicago-area homes.
We detect leaks in walls, under slabs, in crawl spaces, and underground without destructive digging. Whether it’s a slow drip that’s been raising your water bill or an active leak causing visible damage, we’ll find it and give you options for fixing it that make sense for your budget and your home.
Leak detection typically costs much less than the damage an undetected leak can cause. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying.
The investment in professional leak detection often pays for itself quickly. A hidden leak can add $100-300 or more to your monthly water bill. More importantly, it can cause thousands in structural damage if left undetected. Our non-invasive detection methods also save you money by avoiding unnecessary demolition and repair work.
We believe in transparent pricing because we know Ford Heights residents need to make informed decisions about their homes and budgets. Call us for a specific quote based on your situation.
Yes. Our thermal imaging and acoustic detection equipment locates leaks without demolition in most cases. We only recommend opening walls or floors when absolutely necessary for repairs.
Thermal imaging shows temperature differences where water is present behind surfaces. Acoustic listening devices detect the sound of water movement in pipes and leaks. These technologies have revolutionized leak detection, making the old “drill holes until you find it” approach mostly obsolete.
This non-invasive approach saves you significant money on repairs and gets your home back to normal faster. You avoid the mess, dust, and extended disruption of exploratory demolition while still getting precise leak location.
Most leak detection jobs take 1-3 hours, depending on your home’s size and the complexity of the plumbing system. Simple leaks in accessible areas can often be located within an hour.
Our advanced equipment speeds up the process significantly compared to traditional methods. Instead of spending days searching, we can typically pinpoint leak locations quickly and accurately. This means less disruption to your day and faster resolution of your problem.
For emergency situations, we offer 24/7 service because we know water leaks don’t wait for convenient times. The sooner we find and stop the leak, the less damage it can cause to your property.
Common signs include unexplained increases in your water bill, sounds of running water when no fixtures are in use, damp or warm spots on floors, musty odors, and visible water damage like stains or warped materials.
In Ford Heights, where many homes have older plumbing, you might also notice reduced water pressure, which can indicate leaks in the main line. Soft or spongy spots in flooring, especially near bathrooms and kitchens, often signal leaks underneath.
Don’t ignore these warning signs. What starts as a minor issue can quickly become major structural damage. Early detection and repair save money and prevent the health hazards associated with mold growth from hidden moisture.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency leak detection services throughout Ford Heights and the Chicago area. Water emergencies don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.
Emergency situations include active leaks causing visible damage, sudden loss of water pressure indicating a major break, or any leak that threatens your property or safety. We understand that in a community like Ford Heights, every day a major leak continues can mean hundreds of dollars in additional damage.
Our emergency response prioritizes stopping ongoing damage first, then locating and repairing the source. We carry the equipment and materials needed to handle most emergency repairs on the spot, getting your water service restored and your property protected as quickly as possible.
Professional leak detection saves time, money, and prevents unnecessary damage to your property. Our specialized equipment can locate leaks that would be impossible to find otherwise, especially those behind walls or underground.
Attempting to locate leaks yourself often leads to expensive trial-and-error demolition. You might cut into walls or dig up areas that don’t contain leaks, creating more problems than you solve. Our thermal imaging and acoustic equipment eliminates guesswork by showing us exactly where the problem is.
Additionally, we can assess the full extent of any damage and provide proper repair solutions. A leak might seem simple on the surface but could indicate larger plumbing system issues that need professional attention to prevent future problems.
