Every leak detection service includes comprehensive scanning of your entire plumbing system, not just the obvious problem areas. You get detection for leaks in walls, under floors, in slab foundations, and underground supply lines.
Fernway Park’s mix of older homes and newer construction means different leak patterns and detection challenges. Some properties deal with aging galvanized pipes, while others face issues with newer PEX installations or slab leak problems common in the area.
The service covers acoustic detection for pressurized lines, thermal imaging for wall leaks, and specialized equipment for underground detection. You receive a detailed report of findings, photos of problem areas, and clear repair recommendations with transparent pricing.
Leak detection typically costs between $200-500 depending on your home’s size and complexity, but you’ll save thousands compared to letting leaks continue. Most homeowners recover the detection cost within the first month through lower water bills.
The investment makes sense when you consider that a single hidden leak can waste 10,000+ gallons monthly, adding $100+ to your water bill while potentially causing structural damage. Professional detection pays for itself quickly by stopping waste and preventing major repairs.
You get upfront pricing before any work begins, so there are no surprises on your final bill.
Yes, modern leak detection uses non-invasive methods that find leaks through walls without drilling holes or removing drywall. Acoustic equipment picks up the sound of water movement, while thermal imaging shows temperature differences where water is escaping.
These techniques work on most wall types common in Fernway Park homes, from older plaster walls to modern drywall construction. The equipment can detect leaks behind tile, in bathroom walls, and even in multi-story homes where leaks might be several floors away from visible damage.
Only after pinpointing the exact leak location do we make minimal access points for repairs, saving you from unnecessary wall reconstruction and keeping repair costs reasonable.
Underground leak detection usually takes 2-4 hours depending on your property size and the complexity of your plumbing layout. The process moves efficiently because we start with the most likely problem areas based on your symptoms.
For Fernway Park properties, this often means checking the main service line from the street, areas where trees might cause root intrusion, and spots where ground settling could stress pipes. We use specialized listening equipment and ground-penetrating technology to avoid unnecessary digging.
Most underground leaks are located and marked for repair within a single visit, though complex properties with multiple service lines might require additional time for complete detection.
Your water bill jumping 25% or more without increased usage is the biggest red flag, especially when it stays high month after month. You might also notice wet spots in your yard, the sound of running water when everything’s turned off, or unexplained drops in water pressure.
Inside your home, look for water stains on walls or ceilings, musty odors that suggest hidden moisture, or areas where flooring feels soft or warped. In Fernway Park’s climate, you might notice ice forming in unusual spots during winter where underground leaks create moisture.
Don’t wait for visible damage to appear. By the time you see major signs, leaks have often been running for months, wasting water and potentially compromising your home’s foundation or structural integrity.
Yes, emergency leak detection is available 24/7 because water damage doesn’t wait for business hours. When you’re dealing with rapidly rising water bills, visible water intrusion, or sudden pressure drops, immediate detection prevents minor problems from becoming major disasters.
Emergency service focuses on quickly identifying and stopping active leaks that threaten your property. This includes situations where you hear water running constantly, see water pooling where it shouldn’t be, or notice your water meter spinning even when everything’s turned off.
Our emergency team arrives equipped with all necessary detection equipment and can often provide temporary leak isolation while scheduling permanent repairs, giving you peace of mind and stopping further damage immediately.
Professional leak detection equipment can pinpoint leak locations within 1-2 feet, which is accurate enough to minimize excavation and repair costs. The combination of acoustic detection, thermal imaging, and pressure testing provides multiple confirmation methods for precise location.
This accuracy matters especially for underground leaks where digging in the wrong spot costs time and money. Instead of excavating large areas hoping to find the problem, we can mark the exact location and make surgical repairs that restore your system quickly.
The equipment also distinguishes between different types of leaks, helping determine whether you’re dealing with a pinhole leak that needs simple patching or a more serious pipe failure requiring replacement. This precision ensures you get the right repair solution the first time.
