Our Reviews
You don’t have to guess anymore. Our advanced leak detection equipment pinpoints the exact location of leaks in walls, underground pipes, and slab foundations without tearing up your property.
No more digging up your entire yard hoping to find the problem. No more cutting holes in walls based on guesswork. You get precise answers that save time, money, and your sanity.
When you know exactly where the leak is, repairs happen faster and cost less. Your water bills drop back to normal. Your property stays protected from ongoing damage.
We’ve been serving Lincoln Square and the greater Chicago area with reliable leak detection services. We understand the unique challenges of Chicago’s aging infrastructure and seasonal ground shifts that can cause underground water leaks.
Our team is licensed, bonded, and insured, giving you complete protection when we work on your property. We’ve built our reputation on transparent pricing and getting the job done right the first time.
Lincoln Square homeowners and businesses trust us because we show up when we say we will, explain what we find in plain English, and never surprise you with hidden fees.
First, we listen to your concerns and inspect visible signs like wet spots, high water bills, or unusual sounds. This helps us focus our detection efforts where they’re most likely to pay off.
Next, we use electronic leak detection equipment to scan your property. These tools can detect the sound of water escaping from pipes, even when they’re buried deep underground or hidden inside walls.
Once we locate the leak, we mark the exact spot and explain what we found. You get a clear explanation of the problem and your repair options before any work begins. No surprises, no pressure, just the facts you need to make the right decision.

We detect leaks wherever they hide: inside walls, under slab foundations, in underground service lines, and throughout your plumbing system. Our equipment works through concrete, soil, and drywall without causing damage.
Lincoln Square’s older homes often have unique plumbing configurations that require specialized knowledge. We understand how Chicago’s freeze-thaw cycles affect pipe joints and where leaks commonly develop in different neighborhoods.
You get comprehensive leak detection that covers your entire property, not just the obvious spots. We check supply lines, sewer connections, and everything in between to make sure you’re not missing a hidden problem that could cost you later.
We use electronic listening devices and thermal imaging cameras that detect leaks through walls without cutting or drilling. The equipment picks up the sound of water moving through pipes or escaping from damaged areas.
Our thermal cameras show temperature differences that indicate moisture behind walls. When water leaks, it changes the temperature of surrounding materials, creating a signature we can read on our equipment.
This non-invasive approach means you avoid unnecessary repair costs from exploratory holes. We only recommend opening walls when we’re confident about the leak location, saving you money and hassle.
Chicago’s freeze-thaw cycles put tremendous stress on underground pipes. When water in the soil freezes, it expands and shifts the ground around your pipes, creating pressure that can crack joints and fittings.
Tree roots are another major cause, especially in Lincoln Square’s tree-lined neighborhoods. Roots naturally grow toward water sources and can wrap around pipes or penetrate small cracks, making them larger over time.
Aging infrastructure also plays a role. Many homes in the area have service lines that are 50+ years old, and materials like galvanized steel or older copper can corrode and develop pinhole leaks that gradually worsen.
We offer 24/7 emergency leak detection service and can typically respond within a few hours of your call. Water damage happens fast, so speed matters when you’re dealing with a major leak.
Our emergency response includes immediate leak location and temporary shut-off guidance to minimize damage while we travel to your property. We’ll walk you through stopping the water flow over the phone if needed.
For non-emergency situations, we usually schedule leak detection within 24-48 hours. But if you’re seeing active water damage or your water meter won’t stop running, we treat that as an emergency and prioritize your call.
Our leak detection methods are designed to be non-invasive. We use electronic equipment, ground-penetrating radar, and acoustic devices that locate leaks without digging or drilling exploratory holes.
For underground leaks, we mark the exact location before any excavation begins. This means we dig only where necessary, preserving your landscaping and minimizing restoration costs.
Inside your home, we can detect leaks behind walls and under floors without removing finishes. Only after we confirm the leak location do we recommend the smallest possible access point for repairs, keeping damage to your property minimal.
Our leak detection service includes a complete property assessment, electronic leak detection, exact location marking, and a detailed explanation of what we found. You get upfront pricing before we start, so there are no surprise charges.
We provide written documentation of leak locations with photos and measurements. This helps your repair contractor work efficiently and gives you records for insurance purposes if needed.
The service also includes recommendations for repair options and prevention strategies. We explain what caused the leak and how to avoid similar problems in the future, giving you the knowledge to protect your property long-term.
Leak detection costs vary based on property size and complexity, but most residential services range from $300-$600. We provide upfront pricing before starting work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay.
The cost of professional leak detection is typically much less than the water damage and high utility bills you’ll face if leaks go undetected. A hidden leak can waste thousands of gallons of water monthly and cause structural damage that costs thousands to repair.
We include travel time, equipment use, leak location, and detailed reporting in our service fee. There are no hidden charges for equipment or additional time needed to locate difficult leaks. You get comprehensive service for one clear price.
