Plumbing Leak Detection in San Antonio, TX
Your bill spiked, the meter moves with every faucet closed, or a stain keeps growing. We find hidden leaks with pressure testing, acoustic gear and thermal imaging.
Why this happens
Hidden leaks rarely announce themselves directly. You notice a higher bill, a meter that creeps, a soft spot in drywall, a ceiling stain, a cupped floorboard, or a musty smell that lingers. It might be coming from a pressurized supply pipe, a drain joint, the pan under a shower, a toilet ring or the line out to the meter. Cutting holes until you find it wastes money and makes a mess. Good detection shrinks the search to one small, correct opening.

Plumbing Leak Detection near Alamo Ranch and Westover Hills
Nearly every far west side home is built slab-on-grade, with PEX or copper under or inside the concrete. The clay below heaves and settles with the seasons, putting strain on those pipes. Often the first sign is a warm patch of tile or a SAWS bill that suddenly looks wrong. When we pinpoint it, you get one neat opening, not a torn-up floor.
Plumbing Leak Detection FAQ
Is there a way to check for leaks myself?
Turn off all water use, then watch your meter for about 15 minutes. Movement usually means a leak.
Are you going to open my walls?
Only after we have found the exact spot, and the opening stays small.
Can you detect leaks under tile floors?
In most cases. Our equipment works through the finish without removing it.
