The Importance of Professional Leak Detection
Water and gas leaks often develop in hidden locations – behind walls, under floors, in ceilings, or underground – making them difficult to detect without specialized equipment and expertise. Professional leak detection services provide the precise location of leaks without unnecessary demolition or guesswork, allowing for targeted repairs that minimize property damage and restoration costs.
Signs You May Have a Hidden Leak:
- Unexplained increase in water bills
- Sound of running water when no fixtures are in use
- Damp or warm spots on floors, walls, or ceilings
- Mold or mildew growth in unusual places
- Musty odors in specific areas of your home
- Reduced water pressure throughout your property
- Cracks in foundation or walls
- Unusually lush or soggy patches in your yard
- Water meter running when all fixtures are off
- Visible water stains or discoloration
If you notice any of these warning signs, contact Professional Plumbing & Sewer immediately for expert leak detection services. Early intervention can prevent minor leaks from developing into major water damage emergencies that require extensive repairs and restoration.

Our Advanced Leak Detection Technology
At Professional Plumbing & Sewer, we invest in state-of-the-art leak detection equipment to provide the most accurate, non-invasive leak location services possible. Our comprehensive approach combines multiple technologies to ensure no leak goes undetected.
Electronic Leak Detection
- Our electronic leak detection equipment uses sensitive acoustic sensors to detect the sound frequencies produced by water escaping from pipes, even when those sounds are inaudible to the human ear. This technology allows us to pinpoint leak locations with remarkable precision, even through walls, floors, and concrete slabs.
Thermal Imaging Cameras
- Infrared thermal imaging cameras detect temperature variations caused by water leaks, allowing us to visualize moisture patterns hidden behind surfaces. This non-invasive technology helps identify leak locations without any demolition, saving time and preventing unnecessary damage to your property.
Ultrasonic Leak Detection
- Ultrasonic technology detects the high-frequency sounds produced by pressurized leaks in both water and gas lines. This highly sensitive equipment can identify even the smallest leaks that might otherwise go unnoticed until significant damage occurs.
Tracer Gas Detection
- For particularly challenging leaks, we utilize tracer gas technology. This method involves introducing a harmless, non-toxic gas into your plumbing system, which escapes through any leaks and can be detected with specialized sensors, providing precise leak locations.
Video Pipe Inspection
- Our high-definition sewer cameras allow visual inspection inside pipes, identifying cracks, breaks, root intrusions, and other issues that may be causing leaks. This technology is particularly effective for sewer and drain line leaks that occur underground.
Moisture Meters
- Professional-grade moisture meters help us verify the presence of water and measure moisture levels in building materials, confirming leak locations and assessing the extent of water migration through structures.
