Our leak detection services cover every area where water problems hide. We locate leaks in walls, under concrete slabs, in underground pipes, and behind fixtures. Whether it’s a pinhole leak in copper piping or a major break in your main water line, we find it.
Glencoe’s mix of older and newer homes presents unique challenges. Older properties often have galvanized steel pipes prone to corrosion, while newer homes may have issues with fitting connections or settling foundations affecting pipe integrity.
We use non-invasive methods whenever possible. Electronic detection equipment and thermal imaging often eliminate the need for exploratory demolition. You get answers without unnecessary damage to your property.
We use electronic listening equipment and thermal imaging cameras to locate leaks behind walls without cutting into drywall. The listening devices pick up the sound of water moving where it shouldn’t be, while thermal cameras detect temperature differences caused by moisture.
These tools are surprisingly accurate. We can often pinpoint a leak within inches of its actual location. This precision means any necessary repairs involve minimal wall damage – usually just a small access hole rather than tearing out entire sections.
If we do need to create an access point, we mark the exact spot first and keep the opening as small as possible. Most repairs require only a small patch job afterward.
Your water bill is often the first clue – unexplained increases usually mean water is going somewhere it shouldn’t. You might notice damp or discolored spots on walls, ceilings, or floors, especially after the area has been dry for a while.
Listen for unusual sounds like running water when all fixtures are turned off, or hissing sounds near walls or appliances. Musty odors, especially in basements or crawl spaces, often indicate moisture problems from hidden leaks.
Water pressure changes can also signal problems. If your shower pressure drops suddenly or you hear banging in pipes, there could be a leak affecting your system’s pressure. Don’t ignore these warning signs – early detection prevents major damage.
Leak detection costs vary based on your property size, the complexity of your plumbing system, and how extensive the investigation needs to be. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay.
Most residential leak detection services range from basic inspections for obvious problems to comprehensive whole-house evaluations using multiple detection methods. The investment often pays for itself by preventing major water damage repairs.
We’ll discuss your specific situation and recommend the most cost-effective approach. Sometimes a targeted inspection of a problem area is sufficient, while other situations benefit from a complete system evaluation. You decide what makes sense for your budget and concerns.
Yes, we use specialized equipment to locate underground leaks without excavation in most cases. Electronic pipe locators trace your water lines, while acoustic equipment detects the sound of water escaping from pressurized pipes underground.
We can often determine the leak’s location within a few feet, which minimizes any necessary digging. Instead of excavating large areas hoping to find the problem, we dig small, targeted holes exactly where the leak exists.
Ground-penetrating radar and other advanced tools help us map your underground utilities first. This prevents accidentally damaging other lines and ensures we’re digging in the right spot. Most underground leak repairs require much less yard restoration than homeowners expect.
We provide 24/7 emergency leak detection services because water damage doesn’t wait for business hours. Our response time depends on your location and current call volume, but we prioritize emergency situations that threaten property damage.
For true emergencies – like water actively damaging your home – we can often respond within hours. Non-emergency leak detection typically gets scheduled within 24-48 hours, which is still fast enough to prevent most damage from getting worse.
We’ll walk you through immediate steps to minimize damage while we’re on the way. This might include shutting off your main water supply or moving belongings away from affected areas. Quick action makes a huge difference in limiting repair costs.
Once we locate the leak, we provide a detailed explanation of what we found, why it happened, and what repair options you have. We show you exactly where the problem exists and explain the best way to fix it permanently.
You receive written documentation of our findings, including photos when helpful, and upfront pricing for recommended repairs. We explain different repair approaches when options exist, helping you choose the solution that fits your budget and timeline.
We can often handle repairs immediately if you choose to proceed, or you can schedule the work for a more convenient time. There’s no pressure to decide on the spot – you get the information you need to make the right choice for your situation.
