How leak detection works, step by step

  1. Read the meter under controlled conditions

    Everything off, valves closed in sequence. The meter tells us which side of the house the loss is on.

  2. Listen for it

    Pressurized leaks make sound through pipe and soil. Acoustic gear picks it up through slab and drywall.

  3. Confirm with thermal and moisture readings

    Temperature differences and damp mapping pin the spot down to a workable area.

  4. Mark the location and quote the repair

    You get the exact spot marked and a flat price to fix it.

What customers say

Third plumber we've had out for the same drain. First one who ran a camera and actually showed me the root ball. Jetted it, showed me the after footage, and it's been clear ever since.

Priya N., Onaway, MIHydro jetting

Basement drain backed up on a holiday weekend. I expected to be told to wait. They came out, cleared the main and charged the same flat rate they'd quoted on the phone.

Kevin W., Onaway, MISewer line repair

Pipes froze during that cold snap and split in two places. He found both, fixed both, then insulated the run so it wouldn't happen again. That last part is why I'll call back.
