Our Reviews
When you can’t see where water is coming from but know something’s wrong, you need answers fast. Hidden leaks destroy drywall, create mold problems, and drive up your water bills month after month.
Our leak detection service finds the exact source using thermal imaging cameras and electronic equipment that sees what your eyes can’t. No guesswork, no tearing apart walls hoping to find the problem.
You get a clear answer about where the leak is, how serious it is, and what it’ll take to fix it. Then you can make decisions based on facts, not fears about what might be lurking behind your walls.
We’ve served Chicago and the surrounding suburbs since 2000, including Streamwood’s growing community of nearly 40,000 residents.
We understand the unique challenges that Streamwood homeowners face. Your area’s harsh winters freeze pipes, and many homes built during the community’s rapid growth periods have plumbing that’s now showing its age.
Our licensed, bonded, and insured technicians use the same advanced leak detection technology that larger companies charge premium prices for, but we keep our pricing fair because we’re local and we live here too.
First, we listen to what you’ve noticed – higher water bills, damp spots, or sounds of running water when everything’s turned off. These clues help us focus our search.
Next, we use thermal imaging cameras that detect temperature differences caused by moisture. Wet areas show up as distinct patterns on our equipment, even when they’re completely hidden behind walls or under concrete slabs.
We also use electronic leak detection equipment and electromagnetic locators to pinpoint the exact location. This technology eliminates guesswork and prevents unnecessary damage to your home during the detection process.

Our leak detection service includes infrared thermal imaging, electronic listening devices, and electromagnetic pipeline locators. This combination of technologies can find leaks in walls, under slabs, and in underground pipes without destructive digging or cutting.
Streamwood’s mix of older and newer construction means we see everything from original galvanized pipes that are prone to corrosion to newer PEX systems with connection issues. Our equipment works on all pipe materials and can detect leaks as small as a pinhole.
The process typically takes 1-2 hours depending on your home’s size and the complexity of the plumbing layout. You get a detailed report showing exactly where the leak is located, photos of our findings, and a clear explanation of what needs to be repaired.
Leak detection services in Streamwood typically range from $200-$500 depending on the size of your home and complexity of the search. This investment often saves thousands in water damage repairs and prevents months of high water bills.
Most homeowners find that professional leak detection pays for itself quickly. The average home loses 2,000 to 20,000 gallons per year from undetected leaks, which can add $200-$500 annually to your water bill.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what the service will cost. No surprises, no hidden fees.
Yes, our thermal imaging and electronic detection equipment finds most leaks without any damage to your home. The infrared cameras detect temperature differences caused by moisture, showing us exactly where water is present behind walls or under floors.
For underground leaks, we use electromagnetic locators that trace your pipes and identify problem areas without digging. This non-invasive approach is especially important in Streamwood where many homes have finished basements or expensive flooring.
In rare cases where we need visual confirmation, any access points we create are minimal and professionally repaired. But 90% of leaks are located without any damage to your property.
Watch for unexplained increases in your water bill, even when your usage hasn’t changed. Damp or warm spots on floors, walls that feel soft or show discoloration, and the sound of running water when all fixtures are off are clear warning signs.
In Streamwood’s climate, you might also notice ice forming in unusual spots during winter, or areas of your yard that stay green when everything else goes dormant. Musty odors, especially in basements, often indicate hidden moisture from leaks.
Don’t wait if you notice these signs. Early detection prevents major water damage, mold growth, and foundation problems that cost thousands to repair.
Most residential leak detection services take 1-3 hours depending on your home’s size and the location of the suspected leak. We start with the most likely areas based on your symptoms, which speeds up the process.
For slab leaks or underground pipe issues, the process might take longer as we trace the entire line to find the exact problem spot. But our advanced equipment is much faster than old methods that required extensive digging or wall removal.
You can stay in your home during the process, and we’ll keep you informed as we work. Once we locate the leak, we’ll show you exactly what we found and explain your repair options.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency leak detection for urgent situations like sudden water damage or suspected burst pipes. Streamwood’s winter weather can cause pipes to freeze and burst without warning, creating immediate flooding risks.
Emergency leak detection helps minimize water damage by quickly identifying the source so repairs can begin immediately. The faster we find the leak, the less damage occurs to your home’s structure and belongings.
Call us any time, day or night, if you discover water where it shouldn’t be or hear the sound of running water inside walls. Quick action saves money and prevents extensive damage.
Our equipment detects leaks in water supply lines, sewer lines, slab leaks under concrete floors, and hidden leaks behind walls or in crawl spaces. We can find problems in all pipe materials including copper, PVC, PEX, and even older galvanized steel pipes.
Slab leaks are particularly common in Streamwood due to soil conditions and temperature changes that cause concrete to shift. Our thermal imaging easily identifies these leaks by detecting the heat signature of hot water lines or cool spots from cold water leaks.
We also detect leaks in swimming pools, irrigation systems, and outdoor water features. Basically, if water is leaking somewhere it shouldn’t be, our equipment can find it.
