Suspect a leak right now? Do this first
If it’s safe to do so:
- Check visible sources (toilets, under sinks, water heater, appliances).
- Shut off the water if the leak appears active or worsening.
- Avoid electrical hazards if water is near outlets/appliances (turn off power only if safe).
- Take quick photos/videos for your records and insurance claim (if applicable).
- Call for leak detection—hidden moisture can spread behind walls and under floors.
What leak detection includes
Leak detection is the process of locating the source of a suspected leak—especially when it isn’t visible. We help identify where the leak is likely occurring and what the best next step is.
Depending on what we find, we can support:
- Leak source identification (pinpointing likely origin)
- Repair recommendations and next steps
- Coordination with the appropriate service pathway (plumbing repair and/or restoration if damage occurred)
If you’re already dealing with water damage (wet drywall, soaked flooring, odors, or visible spread), visit:
Types of leaks we help detect
We commonly help locate leaks in:
- Walls and ceilings (slow leaks from supply lines or fixtures)
- Floors and subfloors (hidden spread)
- Basements and crawlspaces
- Slab areas (suspected slab leak symptoms)
- Underground lines (when symptoms suggest it)
If you’re not sure what you’re seeing, tell us the symptoms—you don’t need to diagnose it yourself.
Common signs of a hidden water leak
Unexpected increase in water bill
A sudden spike can indicate a hidden leak running continuously
Wet spots, staining, or bubbling paint/drywall
Moisture can travel behind surfaces before it becomes visible.
Musty smell or persistent dampness
Hidden moisture can create odor issues even without visible standing water.
Warped flooring or soft spots
Water under flooring can cause swelling, warping, or spongy areas.
Sound of running water when fixtures are off
This can indicate an active leak in a supply line.
Low water pressure or inconsistent pressure
Sometimes associated with supply-line issues or leaks.
If you suspect active water spread:
How we perform leak detection
We use professional inspection methods to help narrow down the source and affected areas. Depending on the situation, this may include:
- Visual assessment of likely sources and pathways
- Moisture detection tools to identify affected materials
- Thermal imaging (where appropriate) to highlight temperature anomalies that may indicate moisture behind surfaces
- A clear explanation of findings and recommended next steps
Thermal imaging identifies temperature differences. When needed, additional confirmation methods may be recommended to validate findings.
Our leak detection process (and what happens next)
Intake + symptom review
We learn what you’re noticing (stains, odor, bill increase, dampness) and prioritize the most likely areas.
On-site evaluation + targeted inspection
We inspect suspected zones and use detection tools to narrow the source and the path moisture may be traveling.
Findings + location guidance
We explain what we found, where the leak is likely originating, and what materials may be affected.
Repair options + next steps
If repairs are needed, we explain the best path forward (which may include plumbing repair or coordinating with the right qualified trade, depending on the issue).
Restoration support if damage occurred
If the leak caused water damage (drywall, flooring, cabinetry), we can help coordinate cleanup and restoration.
Why “find + fix” matters
A hidden leak can cause damage long before it becomes obvious. A clear detection and repair plan helps you:
- Stop ongoing water loss
- Reduce the chance of further material damage
- Avoid unnecessary demolition by focusing on likely source areas
- Move faster into repairs and restoration (if needed)
