Our leak detection service covers every area where water problems typically hide in Albany Park homes. We detect leaks in walls using thermal imaging, locate underground leaks without digging up your yard, and find underfloor water leaks that could be damaging your foundation.
Chicago’s freeze-thaw cycles put extra stress on plumbing systems, especially in older Albany Park neighborhoods where pipes may have been installed decades ago. Our equipment is specifically chosen to handle these local conditions and find leaks that other methods might miss.
We also provide comprehensive testing after repairs to ensure no other leaks are lurking nearby. This thorough approach prevents you from dealing with multiple service calls and gives you confidence that your entire plumbing system is leak-free.
We use advanced infrared technology and thermal imaging cameras that can see temperature differences behind your walls where water is present. These tools detect moisture and leaks without requiring us to cut into drywall or tear up flooring.
Our acoustic sensors also listen for the sound of water moving through pipes where it shouldn’t be. This combination of thermal and acoustic detection means we can pinpoint the exact location of your leak and access it through the smallest possible opening.
This non-invasive approach saves you hundreds or thousands in unnecessary repair costs and gets your leak fixed faster since we’re not spending time on demolition and reconstruction.
Watch for unexplained increases in your water bill—even a small hidden leak can push your costs up by more than 10%. You might also notice musty odors, especially in basements or lower levels, which often indicate moisture from hidden leaks.
Look for water stains on walls or ceilings, peeling paint, or wallpaper that’s bubbling or coming loose. Soft or spongy spots in flooring, especially near bathrooms or kitchens, are also red flags.
In Albany Park’s older homes, pay attention to foundation cracks or settling that seems to be getting worse, as underground leaks can wash away soil and destabilize your foundation over time.
We provide 24/7 emergency leak detection service throughout Albany Park and the greater Chicago area. When you call with an urgent leak situation, we typically arrive within hours, not days.
We understand that water damage gets worse every hour you wait, especially in Chicago’s climate where moisture can lead to mold growth in just 24-48 hours. Our emergency response team is equipped with all the detection equipment needed to locate your leak immediately.
Same-day service is available for most leak detection calls, and we always provide upfront pricing before beginning any work, even in emergency situations.
Yes, our electromagnetic pipeline locators and ground-penetrating radar can detect underground leaks without any excavation. We can trace your water lines and identify exactly where water is escaping, even if the leak is several feet underground.
This technology is especially important in Albany Park where many properties have mature landscaping, driveways, and walkways that you don’t want disturbed. We can pinpoint the leak location so precisely that any necessary digging is minimal and targeted.
Once we’ve located the underground leak, we can often access it through existing access points or by creating the smallest possible opening to reach the problem area and make repairs.
Professional leak detection typically costs a fraction of what you’ll spend on water damage repairs if leaks go undetected. Most homeowners who catch leaks early save over $1,200 annually in reduced water bills and avoided damage costs.
Consider that mold remediation alone can cost thousands, and structural repairs from long-term water damage often run $10,000 or more. Meanwhile, early leak detection and repair usually costs hundreds, not thousands.
We provide upfront, honest pricing with no hidden fees, so you’ll know exactly what leak detection costs before we start. Most of our clients tell us the peace of mind alone is worth the investment.
Albany Park’s historic homes often have plumbing systems that are 30-50 years old, with pipes that may have been installed using materials and methods that are no longer standard. These older systems are more vulnerable to leaks, especially after Chicago’s harsh freeze-thaw cycles.
Many older homes also have plumbing that runs through areas that are difficult to access, like crawl spaces or between floors. The original construction may not have included easy access points for modern leak detection equipment.
Our experience with Albany Park’s diverse housing stock—from vintage bungalows to converted multi-units—means we know how to adapt our detection methods to work with older plumbing configurations and find leaks that might stump less experienced technicians.
