An unexplained spike on the water bill, a damp patch on the floor with no obvious source, or the faint sound of running water somewhere in the walls — hidden leaks are frustrating precisely because you can't see them. Our Northbrook technicians use acoustic and thermal equipment to find them without tearing into walls or floors on a guess.
We use listening equipment and thermal imaging to locate leaks through walls, floors, and slabs without demolition.
Locating the leak precisely keeps any necessary opening small and targeted rather than exploratory.
Our Northbrook, IL technicians are trained specifically on detection equipment, not just general plumbing repair.
You'll see or hear the detection results and understand exactly where the leak is before deciding on repair.
These are the hidden leak scenarios we investigate most often across Northbrook, IL.
This method works well for pressurized supply line leaks that create a detectable sound signature.
A leak beneath a concrete slab is pinpointed using acoustic and thermal methods before any concrete is opened.
Thermal imaging is especially effective for detecting hot water line leaks inside walls.
Leaks inside wall cavities are traced to their source rather than just patching the visible stain or damage.
Pressure testing and specialized equipment locate leaks in pool plumbing and irrigation lines that waste significant water.
We check for common culprits — running toilets, slab leaks, irrigation issues — starting with the most likely first.
Describe the symptoms to dispatch — a wet spot, a sound, or just a rising water bill all help narrow the search.
A technician arrives with acoustic and thermal detection equipment ready to survey the affected area.
You'll understand exactly where the leak is and what fixing it will involve before agreeing to anything.
The identified leak is repaired, or we connect you with our repair team, and the fix is tested to confirm the leak is resolved.
