Thermal imaging
An infrared camera maps surface temperature. Hot-water leaks show as warm blooms; wet drywall often reads cooler as it dries.
We locate hidden and slab leaks with thermal imaging, acoustic listening and moisture mapping, then mark one spot to open. Try it: drag the lens across this bathroom wall.
No single tool finds every leak, and anyone who says otherwise is overselling. Here is what each method can and cannot tell us, in plain terms.
An infrared camera maps surface temperature. Hot-water leaks show as warm blooms; wet drywall often reads cooler as it dries.
Ground microphones and amplified sensors pick up the hiss of water escaping a pressurized pipe, even under a concrete slab.
Pin and pinless meters measure moisture inside drywall, wood and subfloor, so we can draw where water has traveled.
Pick everything that applies. You get a likely cause, the method we would start with, a sample price range and how urgent it looks. It is a guide, not a diagnosis.
Most hidden leaks show two or three of these. The more you pick, the sharper the estimate.
Every price here is an example for this concept. On a real site these would be your own figures. Detection is quoted as a flat fee before we start; repairs are quoted after we find the source.
Most claims stall on one question: what caused the water, and when? Our report answers it with evidence, not opinion.
VisibleLeak finding is all we train for. You will see your technician's name and photo before arrival.

Precise location means a small, square access point that is easy to patch.

No. It reads the temperature of the surface. Water inside the wall changes that temperature, which is what we see. That is why we confirm with moisture readings or a pressure test before marking a spot.
If we cannot locate the leak on the visit, you do not pay the detection fee. It does not cover repairs or parts, and it does not apply if we cannot reach the area (for example, a locked unit or furniture we cannot move).
Yes. We are a licensed plumbing contractor, so we can repair or reroute the line the same day in most cases, with a fixed quote first.
Turn off the main water valve (usually near the meter or where the line enters the house) and switch off the water heater. Stay away from wet light fixtures, outlets and any sagging ceiling, and turn off the power to that area at the breaker only if you can reach it safely while dry. Then call us or another licensed plumber.
For repairs and reroutes over $1,000, monthly payment plans are available subject to approval. Detection visits are paid on the day.
Book a detection visit. You get a fixed fee up front, one marked spot, and a report you can keep.
