Leak Detection
A rising water bill or a faint damp smell is often the only warning sign of a hidden leak. Our detection process finds the source with minimal or no demolition.
Hidden leaks behind walls, under slabs, or within ceiling cavities are difficult to locate by guesswork alone. We use acoustic listening devices, moisture meters, and thermal imaging to pinpoint the source before recommending any repair.
Accurate detection saves money twice over — it avoids unnecessary demolition searching for the leak, and it stops ongoing water loss and potential mold growth as early as possible.
