Our Reviews
You’re looking at a dry basement instead of standing water. Your water bill drops back to normal instead of climbing every month. Your walls stay intact without mysterious wet spots spreading behind the paint.
That’s what happens when leaks get caught early. Our advanced leak detection technology finds problems you can’t see—behind walls, under floors, in underground pipes—before they turn into expensive disasters.
No more guessing where water is coming from. No more ripping apart your home to find the source. Just accurate results that let you fix the real problem and move on with your life.
We understand Burbank’s unique plumbing challenges. The harsh Chicago winters that freeze pipes. The older infrastructure that creates hidden problems. The seasonal stress that turns small issues into big ones.
You’re dealing with a local company that’s licensed, bonded, and insured—because your investment should be a safe one. We’ve been solving plumbing problems across the Chicagoland area, bringing that local knowledge to every job.
When you call us, you’re getting professionals who understand what Burbank homeowners face and know exactly how to handle it. No learning curve. No surprises. Just experienced service that gets results.
First, we use acoustic listening devices to detect the sound of escaping water. These sensitive instruments pick up leak sounds even through concrete and steel, pinpointing the exact location without any digging or demolition.
Next comes infrared thermography. Our thermal cameras scan surfaces to identify temperature differences that indicate water presence—hot spots from warm water leaks, cool zones from cold water problems.
For the toughest cases, we deploy ultrasonic technology that uses high-frequency sound waves to detect pressure changes in your plumbing system. This method catches even small leaks that other techniques might miss.
The result? You know exactly where your leak is before any repair work starts. No exploratory digging. No unnecessary wall demolition. Just targeted fixes that solve your problem efficiently.

Our service covers every type of water leak detection you might need in Burbank. Underground water leak detection, slab leaks, leak detection in walls, and underfloor water leak detection—all handled with the same precision.
Burbank’s housing stock, with many homes built in the 1960s, often develops leaks in aging pipe joints and connections. Our equipment is specifically chosen to work effectively in these older systems without causing additional damage.
Heavy spring rains can reveal foundation leaks, while winter freezes stress pipes in ways that create problems months later. Our comprehensive approach catches these issues before they become major headaches.
Every service includes a detailed report of what we found and recommendations for preventing future problems specific to your home’s age and plumbing configuration.
Modern leak detection methods are extremely accurate when performed by trained professionals. Acoustic listening devices can locate leaks within a few centimeters of the actual source, while thermal imaging provides clear visual evidence of water presence behind walls and under floors.
Our combination approach using multiple technologies—acoustic, infrared, and ultrasonic—gives us accuracy rates that far exceed traditional methods. We can detect leaks as small as pinhole-sized openings and identify problems up to 30 meters underground.
The key is having the right equipment and knowing how to interpret the data. Our technicians are trained on the latest detection technology, so you get reliable results that eliminate guesswork and prevent unnecessary property damage during repairs.
Yes, our leak detection methods are completely non-invasive. We use infrared cameras, acoustic sensors, and ultrasonic equipment that work from the surface without requiring any demolition or excavation to locate problems.
Thermal imaging lets us see temperature variations through walls, floors, and ceilings that indicate water presence. Acoustic detection picks up the sound of water escaping from pipes, even when those pipes are buried in concrete or hidden behind finished surfaces.
This approach saves you significant money on repairs because we know exactly where the problem is located beforehand. Instead of opening up large areas to search for leaks, we make precise, targeted repairs that minimize disruption to your home and reduce overall project costs.
Several signs indicate hidden leaks that require professional detection. Unexplained increases in your water bill are often the first clue—even a slow leak can waste thousands of gallons per year and increase costs by 10% or more monthly.
Other warning signs include damp or discolored spots on walls and ceilings, musty odors that suggest mold growth, the sound of running water when no fixtures are in use, and areas of your yard that stay unusually green or soggy.
You can do a simple meter test by turning off all water in your home and checking if your water meter continues to move. If it does, you likely have a leak somewhere in your system that needs professional location and repair.
Our detection equipment handles every type of water leak you might encounter. This includes slab leaks in pipes running under concrete foundations, leaks behind walls in supply lines, underground water leak detection in your yard, and leaks under floors in crawl spaces or basements.
We can detect both pressurized and non-pressurized leaks, hot and cold water line problems, and even very small leaks that haven’t yet caused visible damage. Our acoustic equipment works on all pipe materials—copper, PVC, steel, and cast iron.
The technology is particularly effective for the types of problems common in Burbank’s older homes, including leaks at pipe joints, corrosion-related failures in aging systems, and stress-related cracks that develop over time in Chicago’s freeze-thaw climate conditions.
Most leak detection services take between 1-3 hours depending on your home’s size and the complexity of the problem. Simple acoustic detection for a suspected leak in a specific area might be completed in under an hour.
More comprehensive inspections that involve checking multiple systems or using several detection methods take longer but provide complete peace of mind about your entire plumbing system’s condition.
We work efficiently because our equipment gives us precise information quickly. Unlike traditional methods that involve trial-and-error searching, our technology directs us to the exact problem location, which speeds up both the detection process and any subsequent repairs you choose to have completed.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency leak detection services throughout Burbank and the greater Chicago area. Water leaks don’t wait for convenient times, and neither do we when you need help fast.
Emergency situations like sudden water bill spikes, visible water damage, or the sound of running water in walls require immediate attention to prevent extensive property damage. Our emergency response team carries all necessary detection equipment to identify and locate problems quickly.
We understand that leak emergencies create stress and urgency. Our goal is to provide fast, accurate detection so you can make informed decisions about repairs and minimize damage to your property. Call us anytime—we’re ready to help when plumbing problems disrupt your life.
