Our Reviews
You’ll know exactly where the leak is without guessing games or destructive digging. Our thermal imaging and acoustic technology finds leaks behind walls, under floors, and underground without damaging your property.
Your water bills drop back to normal once we locate and repair the source. No more wondering why your usage spiked or watching money drain away with every gallon lost to hidden leaks.
You get peace of mind knowing your West Pullman home’s foundation, walls, and structure stay protected from water damage that could cost tens of thousands to repair later.
We’ve served West Pullman and the greater Chicago area for years, understanding exactly how harsh winters and aging infrastructure create unique leak challenges in your neighborhood.
We’re licensed, bonded, and insured professionals who’ve seen every type of leak West Pullman properties face. From frozen pipe damage to old galvanized pipes finally giving way, we know what to look for and how to fix it right.
Our team uses the same advanced equipment trusted by commercial facilities, but we bring that technology directly to your home with the personal service you expect from a local Chicago company.
We start with a thorough assessment of your property and listen to your concerns about potential leaks. Whether you’ve noticed higher water bills, damp spots, or strange sounds, we take it seriously.
Our technicians use professional-grade acoustic equipment and thermal imaging to scan your plumbing system without invasive digging or wall cutting. These tools detect even small leaks by picking up sound frequencies and temperature variations that indicate water escaping from pipes.
Once we locate the leak, we provide you with a clear explanation of what we found, where it’s located, and what repair options make the most sense for your situation and budget. You’ll know exactly what needs to be done before any work begins.

Our leak detection covers everything from slab leaks under your foundation to pipe leaks behind walls and underground water line breaks. We handle residential and commercial properties throughout West Pullman with the same attention to detail.
West Pullman’s housing stock includes many homes built in the early to mid-20th century, often with galvanized pipes that are now reaching the end of their lifespan. We understand these older systems and know where problems typically develop first.
Chicago’s freeze-thaw cycles put extra stress on underground pipes, especially service lines running from the street to your home. Our equipment can locate these breaks without excavating your entire yard, saving you time and landscaping costs.
We use professional-grade acoustic leak detection equipment that listens for the specific sound frequencies water makes when it escapes from pipes under pressure. Even small leaks create distinctive noise patterns that our sensitive equipment can detect through soil, concrete, and other materials.
Our thermal imaging cameras identify temperature differences caused by water leaks, showing us exactly where water is escaping without any excavation. This technology works especially well for slab leaks under concrete floors and leaks behind walls.
For underground water lines, we use electromagnetic pipeline locators to map your plumbing system first, then apply acoustic and thermal detection methods to pinpoint leak locations within inches. This precision means we only dig or cut exactly where needed for repairs.
The most common sign is an unexplained increase in your water bill without any change in usage patterns. If your bill jumped 25% or more compared to previous months, there’s likely a leak somewhere in your system.
You might notice damp or warm spots on floors, especially over concrete slabs, or hear the sound of running water when all fixtures are turned off. Musty odors, especially in basements or crawl spaces, often indicate hidden moisture from leaks that could lead to mold growth.
In West Pullman’s older homes, watch for water stains on walls or ceilings, peeling paint, or wallpaper that’s bubbling or coming loose. These visual signs often appear well after a leak has started, which is why professional detection equipment is so valuable for catching problems early.
Most residential leak detection appointments take 1-3 hours depending on your property size and the complexity of your plumbing system. Our advanced equipment works much faster than traditional methods that rely on guesswork and trial-and-error digging.
For emergency situations like suspected slab leaks or major water line breaks, we offer same-day service throughout West Pullman. We understand that water damage gets worse every hour, so we prioritize urgent leak detection calls.
Once we locate the leak, we can usually provide you with repair options and pricing on the spot. This means you can make informed decisions quickly instead of waiting days for multiple appointments and estimates from different contractors.
Our non-invasive detection methods are specifically designed to locate leaks without damaging your property. We use acoustic sensors that work through walls and thermal imaging that sees through materials without cutting or drilling.
For underground leaks, our equipment pinpoints the exact location so any excavation is minimal and targeted. Instead of digging up your entire yard or driveway, we typically need to access only a small area directly over the leak source.
When we do need to access pipes behind walls or under floors, we make the smallest possible opening and can often recommend trusted contractors for any cosmetic repairs needed. Our goal is to solve your leak problem while preserving your property’s condition and value.
Chicago’s harsh winter weather is a major factor in West Pullman leak problems. When temperatures drop below freezing, water in pipes expands and can crack or burst the pipe walls. Even small cracks from freezing can develop into significant leaks when the ice thaws.
Many West Pullman homes have aging galvanized steel pipes installed decades ago that are now corroding from the inside out. These older pipes become brittle and develop leaks at joints and fittings, especially where different metals connect and create galvanic corrosion.
Tree roots are another common cause in established neighborhoods like West Pullman. Mature trees send roots toward water sources, and they can infiltrate underground water lines through tiny cracks, eventually causing major breaks that require professional detection to locate.
Leak detection costs vary based on your property size, the complexity of your plumbing system, and how extensive the search needs to be. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
Most residential leak detection services pay for themselves quickly by identifying problems before they cause expensive water damage or continue driving up your monthly utility bills. Finding and fixing a leak early typically costs much less than dealing with flood damage, mold remediation, or foundation repairs later.
We offer emergency leak detection services for urgent situations, and we’re always transparent about pricing differences between standard and emergency service calls. Our goal is to solve your leak problem efficiently while respecting your budget and providing lasting value for your investment.
