Our Reviews
You’ll sleep better knowing that hidden leak isn’t silently destroying your foundation. Our advanced detection technology finds problems while they’re still small and manageable.
No more wondering if that slight increase in your water bill means trouble. No more worrying about mold growing behind your walls. When we’re done, you’ll know exactly where you stand.
Most leaks start small but grow into expensive disasters. We catch them early, when repairs are simple and affordable instead of complex and costly.
We’ve been serving Brookfield and the greater Chicago area since 2000. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured because your peace of mind matters.
Chicago area homes face unique plumbing challenges. Older pipe systems, ground shifts, and harsh winters create conditions where leaks develop. We understand these local issues because we’ve been fixing them for over two decades.
We know Brookfield’s infrastructure, from the vintage homes near the zoo to newer developments. This local knowledge helps us find problems faster and recommend solutions that last.
We start with thermal imaging cameras that detect temperature differences caused by moisture. These cameras see what your eyes can’t – water seeping behind walls, under floors, or through foundations.
Next, we use acoustic sensors to listen for the sound of escaping water. Different leak sizes create different frequency sounds, helping us pinpoint exact locations. For underground leaks, we combine both technologies for maximum accuracy.
Once we locate the problem, we mark the area and provide you with a detailed report. You’ll see thermal images showing exactly where the leak is, plus our recommendation for the most cost-effective repair approach.

Our leak detection service covers everything from tiny pinhole leaks to major underground breaks. We detect leaks in walls, under concrete slabs, in crawl spaces, and anywhere water flows through your property.
Brookfield’s mix of older and newer construction requires different detection approaches. Older homes often have galvanized pipes prone to corrosion, while newer properties might have plastic pipes that muffle acoustic signals. We adjust our methods accordingly.
We also provide detailed documentation that insurance companies accept immediately. Our thermal imaging reports include temperature-stamped images and moisture readings that speed up claim processing and reduce disputes.
Thermal imaging is highly accurate for leak detection, especially when combined with acoustic methods. Our equipment can detect temperature variations as small as 0.06°C, which means we catch even minor leaks before they become major problems.
The technology works best on hot water leaks because the temperature difference is more pronounced. For cold water leaks, we combine thermal imaging with acoustic sensors and moisture meters to ensure we don’t miss anything.
Our success rate exceeds 95% on the first visit. The few cases where initial detection is challenging usually involve very deep underground pipes or leaks in areas with heavy insulation that masks thermal signatures.
Yes, we specialize in non-invasive slab leak detection. Our thermal cameras can identify temperature anomalies through concrete caused by leaking pipes underneath. We also use acoustic equipment to listen for the sound of water escaping under pressure.
The combination of thermal imaging and acoustic detection allows us to pinpoint leak locations within inches. This means when repairs are needed, contractors know exactly where to access the pipe, minimizing damage to your floors.
Slab leaks are particularly concerning because they can go undetected for months, causing extensive damage. Early detection through our methods can save thousands in repair costs compared to waiting until the leak causes visible damage.
We provide 24/7 emergency leak detection services throughout Brookfield and the Chicago area. Most emergency calls receive same-day service, often within a few hours depending on the situation and time of day.
Water emergencies don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. Whether it’s a suspected burst pipe at 2 AM or a mysterious water stain discovered on Sunday morning, we’re equipped to respond quickly.
Our technicians carry portable thermal imaging equipment and acoustic sensors in their vehicles, so we can begin detection work immediately upon arrival. Fast response is crucial because water damage accelerates quickly, especially in Chicago’s climate conditions.
Watch for unexplained increases in your water bill, even when usage hasn’t changed. This is often the first sign of a hidden leak. Other warning signs include musty odors, water stains on walls or ceilings, and areas of unusually lush grass in your yard.
You might also notice reduced water pressure, sounds of running water when fixtures are off, or damp spots on floors and walls. In Brookfield’s older homes, check for new cracks in walls or foundations that could indicate settling caused by water undermining the structure.
Don’t ignore subtle signs. Small leaks become big problems quickly, especially during Chicago winters when freeze-thaw cycles can worsen existing damage. Early detection always costs less than emergency repairs.
Yes, we provide comprehensive leak detection services for both residential homes and commercial buildings throughout Brookfield. Commercial properties often have more complex plumbing systems, but our advanced equipment handles everything from small office buildings to large industrial facilities.
Commercial leak detection is especially critical because business interruption costs can be substantial. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your operations while ensuring thorough detection of any plumbing issues.
Our thermal imaging and acoustic equipment scales to any size property. Whether it’s a single-family home or a multi-story commercial building, we have the technology and expertise to locate leaks accurately and quickly.
Many insurance policies include coverage for leak detection services, especially when there’s evidence of water damage. We provide detailed thermal imaging reports and documentation that insurance companies readily accept for claim processing.
The key is acting quickly when you suspect a leak. Insurance companies prefer proactive leak detection over waiting until major damage occurs. Our professional documentation helps establish the timeline and extent of any issues.
We recommend checking your specific policy or calling your insurance company when you suspect a leak. Many policies cover “trace and access” services, which include the cost of locating hidden leaks using professional equipment like ours.
