Our Reviews
That unexplained spike in your water bill isn’t a billing error. Hidden leaks waste thousands of gallons monthly while silently damaging your property’s foundation, walls, and flooring.
Our advanced leak detection technology pinpoints exact leak locations without tearing apart your home or business. You’ll know within hours where the problem is and exactly what it’ll cost to fix.
No more guessing. No more destructive digging. No more watching your water bill climb while your property value drops from hidden damage.
We’ve been solving Chicago’s toughest plumbing challenges for years. We understand how Uptown’s aging infrastructure and harsh winters create unique leak problems that out-of-town companies miss.
Our licensed, bonded, and insured technicians live and work in Chicago. When you call us for emergency leak detection at 2 AM, we’re not driving in from the suburbs.
We’ve seen every type of leak Chicago properties can throw at us, from frozen pipe bursts to slow foundation seepage that takes months to surface.
First, we listen. You describe what you’ve noticed – higher bills, wet spots, musty smells, or sounds of running water when everything’s turned off.
Next, we use electronic listening equipment and thermal imaging to scan your property without damaging walls or floors. These tools detect moisture patterns and pressure changes that reveal hidden leaks.
Within hours, we’ll show you exactly where the leak is located, explain what caused it, and provide upfront pricing for the repair. No surprises, no hidden fees, no unnecessary work.

Our comprehensive leak detection covers everything from obvious pipe bursts to nearly invisible slab leaks that develop over months. We check water lines, sewer connections, fixture supply lines, and underground piping.
Chicago’s clay soil and temperature fluctuations create specific leak patterns we recognize immediately. Uptown’s mix of vintage buildings and newer construction requires different detection approaches – we adjust our methods accordingly.
You receive a detailed report showing leak locations, severity assessments, and repair recommendations. We explain everything in plain language so you can make informed decisions about your property.
Professional leak detection in Uptown typically ranges from $200 to $500, depending on property size and complexity. This upfront investment usually saves thousands in prevented water damage and reduced utility bills.
Most homeowners recover this cost within the first month through lower water bills alone. When you factor in avoiding major repairs to flooring, walls, or foundation damage, leak detection pays for itself many times over.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know the exact cost with no surprises or hidden fees added later.
Yes, our electronic listening equipment and thermal imaging cameras locate leaks inside walls without any destructive investigation. These tools detect moisture patterns, temperature variations, and sound signatures that pinpoint exact leak locations.
We only recommend opening walls when absolutely necessary for repairs, not for detection. This non-invasive approach saves you hundreds in drywall and painting costs while getting faster, more accurate results.
Our equipment is sensitive enough to detect leaks behind tile, inside concrete slabs, and within wall cavities that would be impossible to find through visual inspection alone.
Most residential leak detection takes 1-3 hours, depending on your home’s size and the number of potential leak sources. Simple fixture leaks might be found within 30 minutes, while complex slab leaks or multiple leak sources take longer.
We work systematically through your property, checking the most likely problem areas first based on your symptoms. This targeted approach usually identifies leaks quickly without wasting time on unnecessary testing.
You’ll receive results the same day, along with a detailed explanation of what we found and recommended next steps for repairs.
Call us for leak detection if your water bill increased without explanation, you hear running water when fixtures are off, or notice wet spots, musty odors, or mold growth in unexpected areas.
Other warning signs include warm spots on floors (indicating hot water line leaks), reduced water pressure throughout the house, or foundation cracks that weren’t there before. Don’t wait for visible water damage to appear.
Early detection prevents thousands in repair costs and protects your property value. Even small leaks waste significant water and create conditions for mold growth and structural damage over time.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency leak detection throughout Uptown and Chicago. Water emergencies don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.
Emergency situations include sudden water bill spikes, sounds of rushing water inside walls, or visible water damage that appeared quickly. We prioritize these calls because fast response prevents exponentially more damage.
Our emergency technicians carry full leak detection equipment and can begin work immediately upon arrival. You’ll have answers and a repair plan within hours, not days.
Absolutely. Underground water leak detection is one of our specialties, using ground-penetrating equipment that locates leaks in buried supply lines and sewer connections without excavation.
Chicago’s clay soil and freeze-thaw cycles frequently damage underground pipes, especially in older Uptown properties. We can trace underground lines and identify leak points before recommending targeted digging.
This precision approach saves you from unnecessary yard destruction and reduces repair costs by focusing excavation work only where it’s needed. Most underground leaks can be located within a few feet of the actual problem area.
