When you need leak detection in West Town, you’re getting a company that knows your neighborhood and understands your property’s needs.
First, we assess your situation and discuss what you’ve noticed—water stains, unusual sounds, or higher bills. We listen to understand the full scope before we start.
Next, we use professional acoustic equipment to detect sounds from leaking pipes that are beyond human hearing range. Our thermal imaging cameras identify temperature variations that indicate moisture behind walls or under floors. For underground leaks, we use electromagnetic pipeline locators to trace your lines without excavation.
Once we pinpoint the exact location, we provide you with a clear explanation of what we found and upfront pricing for repairs. No surprises, no hidden costs. We handle the repair with minimal disruption to your property, testing everything thoroughly before we consider the job complete.

Our leak detection services cover every area where water problems hide. We detect leaks in walls using thermal imaging that shows moisture patterns without cutting into drywall. For underfloor water leak detection, we use specialized equipment that identifies problems beneath concrete slabs and wooden floors.
Underground water leak detection is handled with electromagnetic locators and acoustic equipment that traces your water lines from the street to your home. We also provide comprehensive plumbing leak detection for fixtures, supply lines, and drainage systems throughout your West Town property.
Chicago’s older buildings and harsh winters create unique leak challenges. Frozen pipes, aging cast iron, and settling foundations all contribute to hidden water problems. We’ve adapted our detection methods specifically for these local conditions, ensuring we catch leaks that other companies might miss.
We use thermal imaging cameras and acoustic detection equipment to locate leaks behind walls without cutting or drilling. The thermal camera shows temperature differences where moisture is present, while acoustic equipment picks up the sound of water moving through pipes—even sounds too faint for human ears.
This non-invasive approach means we can pinpoint the exact location of your leak before making any cuts. When we do need to access the pipe, we make the smallest possible opening in the precise spot where the leak exists. No guesswork, no unnecessary damage to your drywall or tile.
Watch for water bills that are higher than usual without increased usage—this is often the first sign. You might notice water stains on walls or ceilings, musty odors that suggest mold growth, or the sound of running water when no fixtures are in use.
Other signs include warm spots on floors (indicating hot water line leaks), low water pressure, or areas of your yard that stay unusually green or soggy. In Chicago’s climate, you might also notice ice forming in unusual places during winter, which can indicate a leak that’s freezing. If you suspect a leak, it’s better to have it checked sooner rather than later—early detection saves thousands in water damage repairs.
Most leak detection services take 1-3 hours depending on your property size and the complexity of the issue. Simple fixture leaks can be identified quickly, while hidden leaks in walls or underground lines require more thorough investigation.
We start with the most likely locations based on your symptoms, then systematically check other areas if needed. Our professional equipment speeds up the process significantly compared to traditional methods. Once we locate the leak, we’ll explain exactly what we found and provide you with repair options and upfront pricing before proceeding with any work.
Yes, we specialize in underfloor water leak detection using acoustic equipment and electromagnetic pipeline locators. These tools can detect leaks beneath concrete slabs, basement floors, and crawl spaces without breaking through the surface.
For slab leaks, we use sensitive listening devices that pick up the sound of water escaping from pipes embedded in concrete. We also use pressure testing to isolate which section of your plumbing system has the leak. This targeted approach means we only excavate or cut concrete in the exact spot where the repair is needed, minimizing damage to your floors and reducing repair costs.
Our leak detection service includes a complete assessment of your plumbing system, professional equipment usage, and a detailed report of our findings. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying.
