Repair Options Compared
Here is how the main options for leak detection compare. We will recommend the right one for your situation.
| Option | Best For | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
| Acoustic listening | Hidden leaks in walls or underground | Non-invasive, locates the spot | Needs a pro to interpret |
| Pressure testing | System or line leaks | Confirms a leak exists | Does not pinpoint location |
| Camera inspection | Drain and sewer leaks | Shows the inside of the line | For waste lines, not supply |

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you find a leak behind a wall?
We use acoustic listening equipment and pressure testing to narrow down the source before opening walls, so we disturb as little as possible.
Will finding the leak damage my home?
We use non-invasive methods first. Some repairs require opening a wall or floor, but we keep that to the minimum needed.
My water bill jumped. Could I have a leak?
Yes, a sudden rise in your water bill is a common sign of a hidden leak. Check your meter for movement when nothing is running, then call us.
Can you detect slab leaks?
Yes. We use listening and pressure methods to help locate leaks under concrete floors.
