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

Our water bill nearly doubled with nothing visible. They isolated it to the service line, marked the exact spot in the yard, and replaced it without touching the driveway.
