Professional leak detection is a specialized service that uses advanced technology, including acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging cameras, and electronic moisture meters, to locate hidden water leaks in your plumbing system without destructive exploration. Unlike general plumbing, leak detection focuses specifically on finding the source of leaks behind walls, under floors, and beneath foundations.
A typical residential leak inspection takes one to two hours, depending on the size of your home and the complexity of the plumbing system.
