Our leak detection covers every area where water problems hide in Glenwood homes. We locate leaks in walls caused by pipe corrosion or freeze damage, underground leaks in your main water line or sewer connections, and slab leaks under your foundation that can undermine your home’s stability.
Many Glenwood homes built in the 1970s and 1980s have copper pipes that develop pinhole leaks over time. These tiny holes can go undetected for months while slowly damaging your walls and floors. Our equipment catches these early before they become expensive problems.
We also handle emergency leak detection when you need answers fast. Burst pipes, sudden water damage, or rapidly climbing water bills—we’re available 24/7 to find the source and stop the damage. Our goal is always to locate your leak with minimal disruption to your home and your day.
Watch for these warning signs: your water bill suddenly increases without explanation, you hear water running when all fixtures are off, or you notice musty odors and mold growth in areas that should be dry. You might also see wet spots on walls or floors, or notice that your water meter keeps running even when you’re not using water.
Many Glenwood homeowners first notice something’s wrong when their water bill jumps 20-30% higher than normal. This usually means water is escaping somewhere in your system. The sooner you investigate, the less damage you’ll face.
Don’t ignore these signs hoping they’ll go away. Hidden leaks only get worse over time, and what starts as a small problem can quickly become thousands in water damage repairs.
A slab leak occurs in the water pipes that run underneath your home’s concrete foundation. These are much more serious than regular pipe leaks because they’re harder to access and can undermine your foundation if left untreated.
Slab leaks often show up as hot spots on your floor, constantly running water heaters, or cracks in your foundation. They typically happen in hot water lines and require specialized equipment to locate without breaking up your entire floor.
Regular pipe leaks in walls or accessible areas are usually easier and less expensive to repair. But slab leaks need immediate professional attention because they can cause structural damage to your home’s foundation over time.
Professional leak detection in Glenwood typically ranges from $200-$500 depending on the complexity of your situation and the equipment needed. This investment often saves you thousands compared to the cost of water damage repairs.
The exact cost depends on factors like the size of your home, how many potential leak locations we need to check, and whether we need specialized equipment for slab or underground detection. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work.
Consider that the average water damage repair costs $3,000-$5,000, while foundation repairs from slab leaks can run $10,000 or more. Spending a few hundred dollars on professional detection is a smart investment that protects your home and your wallet.
Yes, our leak detection methods are designed to be non-invasive. We use acoustic detection equipment, infrared cameras, and pressure testing to locate leaks without cutting holes in your walls or breaking up your floors unnecessarily.
Our acoustic equipment can hear water moving inside pipes behind walls and under slabs. Infrared cameras show us temperature differences that indicate where water is escaping. These methods let us pinpoint leak locations with precision before any invasive work begins.
Only after we’ve located the exact spot do we make the smallest opening possible to access and repair the leak. This approach saves you money on repairs and gets your home back to normal faster than traditional “hunt and peck” methods.
