The problem

The bill jumped. The meter spins with every tap closed. Something is losing water and nobody knows where.

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., Shelby, MIHydro jetting

Bought an older house and had them scope the sewer before closing. Found a cracked section the inspection missed and it saved us a negotiation. Got the video to keep, too.

Bill H., Shelby, MISewer camera inspection

Pipe burst in the crawlspace while we were away. They got in, stopped it, and sent photos of the repair before I even got home.
