Every leak detection service includes a complete property assessment using thermal imaging and acoustic detection equipment. We check behind walls, under floors, around fixtures, and in underground lines—anywhere water might be hiding.
In Melrose Park, we see specific patterns. Older homes often develop leaks where the main line connects to the street, especially after harsh winters. Homes built in the 1960s and 70s frequently have issues with copper pipes behind kitchen and bathroom walls. We know these trouble spots and check them first.
You get a detailed report showing exactly what we found, photos of any issues, and a clear explanation of your options. If we find problems, we’ll give you upfront pricing for repairs. If everything looks good, you get peace of mind knowing your plumbing system is solid.
We use thermal imaging cameras and acoustic sensors that detect temperature changes and sound vibrations through walls, floors, and underground. The thermal camera shows us temperature differences where water is present, while acoustic equipment picks up the sound of water moving through or escaping from pipes.
This technology is the same used by commercial buildings and water utilities. It’s incredibly accurate and completely non-invasive. We can pinpoint a leak’s location within inches without making a single hole in your property.
Only after we know exactly where the problem is do we make any openings—and only as small as necessary to access and repair the leak.
The most obvious sign is a water bill that’s higher than normal without any change in your usage habits. Other red flags include damp or discolored spots on walls or ceilings, the sound of running water when all fixtures are turned off, and musty odors that suggest mold growth.
In Melrose Park, we also see foundation settling, cracks in driveways or walkways, and unusually green or lush patches in yards during dry periods. These can indicate underground leaks that have been going on for months.
If your water meter keeps running when everything in the house is shut off, you definitely have a leak somewhere. Don’t wait—the longer it goes, the more damage it causes and the more expensive it becomes to fix.
Most leak detection jobs in Melrose Park homes take 2-4 hours, depending on the size of your property and how many potential leak sources we need to check. Simple cases where we’re looking for one specific leak might take just an hour.
Complex situations—like multiple leaks or issues with underground lines—can take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe before we start so you can plan your day accordingly.
The key is that we’re thorough. We’d rather spend an extra hour making sure we found everything than miss a problem that’ll cause you headaches later. Most of our customers appreciate that we take the time to do it right the first time.
Leak detection services in Melrose Park typically range from $300-$600, depending on the complexity of your property and how extensive the search needs to be. Simple residential jobs usually fall on the lower end, while larger properties or multiple potential leak sources cost more.
We provide upfront pricing before any work begins, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying. Many customers find that professional leak detection actually saves them money by preventing major water damage repairs that can cost thousands.
If we find leaks and you choose us for the repairs, we often apply the detection fee toward your repair costs. It’s our way of making sure you’re not paying twice for solving the same problem.
Yes, underground leak detection is actually one of our specialties. We use ground-penetrating acoustic equipment and pressure testing to locate leaks in water lines, sewer lines, and other underground pipes without digging up your yard.
Melrose Park’s older infrastructure means underground leaks are common, especially where service lines connect to the main water system. Tree roots, ground settling, and freeze-thaw cycles all contribute to underground pipe problems.
We can pinpoint the leak location within a few feet, which means minimal excavation when repairs are needed. This saves you money on restoration costs and gets your yard back to normal faster than traditional “dig and search” methods.
If we don’t find any active leaks, you get a clean bill of health for your plumbing system and detailed documentation of what we checked. Sometimes what appears to be a leak is actually condensation, a one-time overflow, or an issue that has already stopped.
We’ll still provide you with a complete report showing all the areas we inspected and any potential concerns we noticed—like aging pipes or connections that might need attention in the future. This gives you valuable information for planning future maintenance.
You pay for the professional assessment either way, but many customers tell us the peace of mind is worth it. Knowing your plumbing system is solid is valuable information, especially if you’re dealing with insurance claims or considering selling your home.
