Our leak detection service covers every type of water leak that can affect your East Garfield Park home. We locate leaks in walls, under floors, in basement foundations, and throughout your underground plumbing system.
East Garfield Park homes face specific challenges due to the neighborhood’s mix of older and newer construction. Many properties have pipes that are approaching or exceeding their 25-50 year lifespan, making professional leak detection essential for preventing major failures.
We use multiple detection methods depending on your situation. Acoustic detection picks up the sound of water escaping from pipes. Thermal imaging reveals temperature differences caused by water leaks. Video pipe inspection shows us the inside condition of your pipes. This comprehensive approach means we don’t miss anything.
You also get a detailed written report with photos, repair recommendations, and cost estimates. If repairs are needed, we handle everything from simple fixture adjustments to complete pipe replacement, all with the same attention to quality and transparency.
Several signs point to hidden leaks that need professional detection. Your water bill suddenly jumping higher without increased usage is often the first indicator – leaks can waste 14% of your water usage and spike bills by at least 10%.
Look for water stains on walls or ceilings, especially if they appear in new locations or keep growing. A persistent musty odor often signals moisture problems from hidden leaks. You might also notice your water meter running even when no water is being used in your home.
Don’t ignore these warning signs. Mold can start forming within 1-2 days of a leak, and water damage repairs typically cost between $1,000 and $5,000 when problems are left unaddressed.
Yes, our advanced leak detection technology locates most leaks without any destructive digging or wall removal. We use acoustic leak detectors that listen for the sound of escaping water, electromagnetic pipe locators that trace your plumbing lines, and thermal imaging that reveals temperature differences caused by water.
These non-invasive methods work for leaks behind walls, under concrete slabs, and in underground pipes. We can pinpoint the exact location before any excavation is needed, which means minimal disruption to your property and lower repair costs.
In rare cases where access is required for repairs, we use the smallest possible opening and restore everything to its original condition. Our goal is always to solve your leak problem with the least possible impact on your home.
We offer same-day leak detection services and 24/7 emergency response for urgent situations. Most leak detection jobs are completed within a few hours, depending on your home’s size and the complexity of the plumbing system.
Emergency leaks get immediate attention because we understand that water damage gets worse every hour. For non-emergency situations, we typically schedule detection services within 24-48 hours of your call.
Once we locate the leak, repair timing depends on the specific problem. Simple fixture leaks can often be fixed the same day. More complex issues like underground pipe repairs might take 1-2 days, but we’ll give you an exact timeline upfront so you can plan accordingly.
DIY methods like food coloring in toilets or checking your water meter can identify obvious leaks, but they miss the hidden problems that cause the most damage. Professional leak detection uses specialized equipment worth thousands of dollars that homeowners don’t have access to.
Our acoustic detectors can hear water escaping from pipes buried under concrete or behind walls. Thermal imaging reveals temperature changes invisible to the naked eye. Electromagnetic locators trace your entire plumbing system to identify problem areas you’d never find on your own.
Professional detection also means accurate diagnosis the first time. We don’t just find where water is appearing – we locate the actual source of the problem. This prevents unnecessary repairs and ensures the leak is fixed permanently, not just temporarily patched.
Yes, we regularly work with insurance companies and understand what documentation they need for leak-related water damage claims. We provide detailed reports with photos, leak locations, and professional assessments that support your insurance claim process.
Our reports include all the technical information insurance adjusters require, including the cause of the leak, extent of damage, and recommended repairs. We can also provide written estimates for repair work that insurance companies use to process claims.
We’ve helped many East Garfield Park homeowners navigate insurance claims successfully. While we can’t guarantee coverage – that depends on your specific policy – we make sure you have all the professional documentation needed to present the strongest possible claim to your insurance company.
Leak detection costs vary depending on your home’s size, plumbing complexity, and the type of detection methods needed. We provide upfront pricing before any work begins, so you’ll know exactly what to expect with no surprise charges.
The investment in professional leak detection typically pays for itself quickly. Homeowners who use leak detection services save about $1,200 per year on water bills and repair costs. Early detection prevents major damage that can cost thousands to repair.

During our initial assessment, we’ll explain what detection methods your situation requires and provide a clear cost estimate.
