We’ve been serving Chicago and surrounding communities like Crestwood with honest, reliable plumbing services. We understand the unique challenges of older homes in this area—many built 45+ years ago with plumbing systems that need expert attention.
We’re licensed, bonded, and insured professionals who use the latest leak detection technology. No guesswork, no unnecessary digging, no surprises on your bill. Just accurate results and transparent pricing.
Our local expertise means we know Crestwood’s housing patterns, common plumbing issues, and how to work efficiently in your neighborhood. We’re here 24/7 because leaks don’t wait for business hours.
First, we listen. Our acoustic equipment picks up the sound of water escaping from pipes, even through walls and concrete. These specialized tools filter out background noise and amplify leak sounds that human ears can’t detect.
Next, we look. Thermal imaging cameras show us temperature differences that indicate moisture. A leak creates a cooler or warmer spot that shows up clearly on our screens, pinpointing the exact location without opening walls.
Finally, we confirm. Using pressure testing and other verification methods, we make absolutely sure we’ve found the source. You’ll see exactly where the problem is and understand what needs to be fixed before any work begins.

Our leak detection service covers everything from pinhole leaks in copper pipes to major underground water line breaks. We find leaks in walls, under slabs, in crawl spaces, and anywhere else water might be escaping.
In Crestwood’s older homes, we commonly find issues with corroded galvanized pipes, failed solder joints, and foundation settling that stresses plumbing connections. Our equipment detects these problems before they become major failures.
You get a complete assessment, not just a location. We’ll explain what caused the leak, how urgent the repair is, and what your options are. Every service includes upfront pricing so you can make informed decisions about your home’s plumbing.
We use acoustic leak detection and thermal imaging to find leaks behind walls without any damage to your home. Our acoustic equipment amplifies the sound of dripping or flowing water that you can’t hear normally. The sensitive microphones pick up these sounds through drywall, wood, and other materials.
Thermal imaging cameras show us temperature differences where moisture is present. A leak behind a wall creates a cooler or warmer spot that shows up clearly on our thermal camera screen. This combination of sound and heat detection pinpoints leaks with remarkable accuracy.
The process is completely non-invasive. We can identify the exact location of a leak and often determine its severity before recommending any repairs. This saves you from unnecessary wall damage and keeps repair costs focused on the actual problem area.
Leak detection pricing varies based on your home’s size, the complexity of your plumbing system, and how accessible the suspected area is. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know exactly what to expect with no surprises.
Most residential leak detection services in Crestwood range from basic inspections for simple problems to more comprehensive assessments for complex issues. The investment is typically much less than the cost of water damage repairs or months of inflated water bills.
We offer free estimates, so you can understand your options and costs before committing to any service. Our transparent pricing means you’ll get a clear breakdown of what’s included and why it’s necessary. No hidden fees, no hourly surprises—just honest pricing for professional results.
Yes, slab leak detection is one of our specialties. We use ground-penetrating acoustic equipment and pressure testing to locate leaks in pipes running under concrete foundations. These tools can pinpoint the exact location of a leak without breaking up your slab.
Slab leaks are particularly tricky because they’re completely hidden and can cause significant damage before you notice symptoms. Our equipment detects the sound of water escaping and the pressure changes that indicate a breach in the line.
Once we locate the leak, we’ll explain your repair options, which might include spot repairs, pipe rerouting, or other solutions depending on the pipe’s condition and location. The detection process itself causes no damage to your foundation or flooring, keeping your disruption to a minimum.
The most common sign is an unexplained increase in your water bill. If your usage hasn’t changed but your bill keeps climbing, there’s likely water escaping somewhere in your system. Even small leaks can waste hundreds of gallons per month.
Other warning signs include damp or discolored spots on walls or ceilings, the sound of running water when no fixtures are in use, and musty odors that might indicate hidden moisture. You might also notice warm spots on floors over slab leaks or areas where your lawn is unusually green.
Low water pressure throughout your home can also indicate a significant leak in your main line. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s worth having a professional leak detection service to identify problems before they cause major damage to your Crestwood home.
Most residential leak detection services take 1-3 hours, depending on your home’s size and the complexity of locating the leak. Simple leaks in accessible areas might be found quickly, while hidden leaks in complex plumbing systems take more time to pinpoint accurately.
We don’t rush the process because accuracy is crucial. Taking time to properly locate a leak saves you money on repairs and prevents unnecessary damage to your property. Our systematic approach ensures we find the actual source, not just symptoms of the problem.
The time investment is worth it when you consider the alternative—guessing at leak locations can lead to multiple repair attempts, higher costs, and more disruption to your home. Our thorough detection process gets it right the first time, saving you time and money in the long run.
