Hidden Wall Leak Detection
Water stains, peeling paint, or a musty smell can point to a leak sealed inside a wall cavity. Thermal imaging and moisture meters let technicians narrow down the exact leak location before opening anything up, keeping repair damage to a minimum.
What to Expect
- A local, independent professional is dispatched based on your location and current availability.
- Pricing and scope of work are discussed and agreed upon directly with the servicing professional.
- For urgent situations, mention it's an emergency when you call so the request can be prioritized.
- Licensing and insurance details can be confirmed directly with the professional before work begins.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does leak repair typically cost?
Cost depends heavily on the leak's location, severity, and what repair method is needed — a single patch versus trenchless line replacement, for example. Pricing is discussed directly with the technician after they've assessed the situation.
My water bill went up but I don't see any leak — could it still be a leak?
Yes — this is actually one of the more common signs of a hidden leak, particularly slab leaks or underground line leaks that aren't visible from inside the house. It's worth having a technician check.
What should I do while waiting for a technician to arrive?
If it's safe to do so, shut off the main water valve to limit further damage. Move any valuables away from the affected area and avoid using electrical outlets near standing water.
Can a leak be found without tearing open my walls or slab?
In most cases, yes. Acoustic listening equipment and thermal imaging let technicians narrow down a leak's location before any demolition starts, so only the necessary section gets opened up.
