Our Reviews
You wake up to a mysteriously high water bill. Maybe you notice a damp spot on your ceiling or hear water running when nothing’s turned on. These aren’t just minor inconveniences—they’re early warnings of hidden leaks that could cost thousands in damage.
When we find and fix your leak, you get your peace of mind back. No more wondering if water is silently destroying your walls, floors, or foundation. No more watching your utility bills climb month after month. Just a properly functioning plumbing system and the confidence that comes with knowing your Stone Park home is protected.
The difference between catching a leak early and dealing with major water damage often comes down to one thing: acting fast when you notice the signs.
We’ve been serving Stone Park and the greater Chicago area with reliable plumbing solutions. We’re licensed, bonded, and insured—which means you’re protected, and so are we.
Stone Park’s older housing stock, with most homes built around 1964, presents unique challenges. We understand how Chicago’s harsh winters affect aging pipes and how the village’s dense population creates specific plumbing demands. When you call us, you’re getting plumbers who’ve seen it all in neighborhoods just like yours.
We don’t just show up and start digging. Our approach is methodical, respectful of your property, and focused on getting the job done right the first time.
First, we listen. Our acoustic detection equipment picks up sounds that human ears can’t hear—the subtle vibrations and frequencies that water makes as it escapes from pipes behind walls or under slabs.
Next, we look. Thermal imaging cameras show us temperature variations that indicate moisture and water flow patterns. This technology lets us see what’s happening inside your walls without opening them up.
Finally, we verify. Once we’ve pinpointed the leak’s location, we use targeted access methods to confirm the problem and make repairs. No guesswork, no unnecessary damage to your property, no surprises.
The whole process is designed around one principle: find the exact source of your leak with minimal disruption to your home and your day.

Every leak detection service includes a thorough inspection using professional-grade acoustic and thermal imaging equipment. We provide upfront pricing before any work begins, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Stone Park homeowners face specific challenges with the village’s aging infrastructure and Chicago’s freeze-thaw cycles. Our service addresses these local conditions with detection methods proven effective in similar neighborhoods throughout Cook County.
You’ll receive a detailed explanation of what we found, why the leak occurred, and what we recommend to prevent future problems. We also coordinate with insurance companies when needed, providing documentation and photos for claims processing.
Our goal isn’t just to find your current leak—it’s to help you understand your plumbing system so you can catch problems early in the future.
We use acoustic detection equipment that picks up the sound frequencies water makes as it escapes from pipes. These sounds are typically well outside human hearing range, but our professional-grade equipment can detect and trace them to their source.
We also use thermal imaging cameras that show temperature variations caused by water movement and moisture. Cold or warm spots often indicate where water is flowing where it shouldn’t be. This combination of acoustic and thermal technology lets us pinpoint leak locations with remarkable accuracy.
Only after we’ve identified the exact location do we make any openings in walls or floors. This targeted approach means we cut the smallest possible access point, reducing repair costs and disruption to your home.
The most common early warning is an unexplained increase in your water bill. Even small leaks can waste thousands of gallons per year, and that shows up in your monthly charges.
You might also notice damp or discolored spots on walls, ceilings, or floors. Musty odors often develop when moisture creates conditions for mold growth. Some people hear faint sounds of running or dripping water when no fixtures are in use.
In Stone Park’s older homes, watch for cracks forming in walls or flooring, especially after cold weather when freeze-thaw cycles stress aging pipes. If your water meter continues to run when all water sources are turned off, that’s a clear indicator of a leak somewhere in your system.
Our leak detection service starts with a diagnostic fee that covers the time and equipment needed to locate your leak. The exact cost depends on factors like the complexity of your plumbing system and the leak’s location.
We provide upfront pricing before beginning any work, so you’ll know the cost before we start. Many homeowners find that professional leak detection actually saves money by preventing extensive water damage and avoiding the trial-and-error approach that can lead to unnecessary repairs.
Insurance often covers leak detection and repair costs, especially when the leak has caused property damage. We work with insurance companies regularly and can provide the documentation they need for your claim.
Yes, slab leaks are one of our specialties. These leaks occur in water lines that run beneath your home’s concrete foundation, and they’re particularly challenging because the signs often appear far from the actual leak location.
We use specialized equipment designed specifically for slab leak detection. Ground-penetrating radar and acoustic equipment can locate leaks through concrete without any drilling or breaking. We also use pressure testing to isolate which section of your plumbing system has the problem.
Slab leaks are especially common in Stone Park because many homes were built in the 1960s when different pipe materials and installation methods were used. The good news is that modern detection technology makes these leaks much easier to find and fix than they were even a few years ago.
Absolutely. Water leaks don’t wait for business hours, and neither do we. We provide 24/7 emergency leak detection services throughout Stone Park and the surrounding areas.
Emergency situations include active flooding, sudden loss of water pressure, or any leak that’s causing immediate damage to your property. We understand that every hour counts when water is actively damaging your home.
Our emergency response typically includes immediate steps to minimize damage, such as shutting off water to affected areas, followed by leak detection and repair services. We carry the equipment and materials needed to handle most leak situations on the first visit.
Most residential leak detection takes between one to three hours, depending on your home’s size and the complexity of the plumbing system. Simple leaks in accessible areas can often be located within the first hour.
More complex situations, such as leaks in multi-story homes or those requiring slab detection, may take longer. We’ll give you a time estimate when we arrive and keep you updated throughout the process.
The actual repair time varies based on the leak’s location and severity. Minor repairs might be completed the same day, while more extensive work could require scheduling a follow-up appointment. We always prioritize stopping the leak and preventing further damage, then work with you to schedule any additional repairs at your convenience.
