Leak detection

Found, not guessed

From: $249
How long: Usually 1 to 2 hours

Water travels before it shows. A stain on a ceiling can be ten feet from the joint that’s leaking, so we find it before anyone reaches for a saw: a thermal camera shows the cold trail, a listening kit hears the hiss, and a pressure test tells us which line it’s on.

Then we mark the spot and open up only that. When we do the repair, the detection fee comes off the bill.

Questions

Will you cut holes to find it?

Not to find it. We open the wall or floor only where the tests say the leak is, usually a hole the size of a hand.

Will my insurer want a report?

Often. We give you photos, the readings and where the leak was, written up the same day.
