Our service covers every type of water leak detection you might need in Lynwood, IL. We handle leak detection in walls, underground water leak detection for your main lines and sewer connections, and underfloor water leak detection for radiant heating systems or hidden pipe breaks beneath concrete slabs.
Lynwood’s mix of older and newer construction means we see everything from original galvanized pipes in vintage homes to modern PEX installations in recent builds. Each requires different detection approaches, and our team has the equipment and experience for all of them.
We also provide detailed documentation that’s useful for insurance claims if your leak has caused damage that needs coverage. This is especially important in our area where foundation issues from water damage can be costly.
We use acoustic listening equipment and thermal imaging cameras to pinpoint leaks behind walls without cutting into drywall. The acoustic equipment picks up the sound of water movement, while thermal imaging shows temperature differences that indicate moisture.
These methods are accurate within inches, so if we do need to make an access point, it’s minimal and targeted. Most wall leak detection is completely non-invasive, which means no patching drywall or repainting afterward.
Only in rare cases where the leak is very slow or deep within a thick wall do we need to make a small exploratory opening, and we always discuss this with you first and get your approval.
Unexplained increases in your water bill are the most common first sign, especially here in Lynwood, IL where water rates make even small leaks expensive quickly.

Low water pressure throughout your home can indicate a main line leak. Some underground leaks also cause foundation settling or cracks as water erodes soil beneath your home, which is a particular concern with our clay soil conditions.

Absolutely. Hidden leaks are often responsible for significant portions of high water bills, especially slow leaks that run continuously. Even a small leak can waste hundreds of gallons per month, which adds up quickly with Lynwood, IL water rates.
Underground leaks and leaks in walls are particularly wasteful because they often go undetected for months or even years. Once located and repaired, most customers see immediate reduction in their water usage and bills.
The cost of leak detection typically pays for itself quickly through water bill savings, not to mention preventing the much higher costs of water damage repairs, mold remediation, or foundation issues if leaks go unaddressed.
