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 Alton technicians use acoustic and thermal equipment to find them without tearing into walls or floors on a guess.
Detection equipment on every Alton truck means we don't have to guess and open drywall speculatively.
We find the leak before recommending any repair scope, which keeps costs and disruption down.
Every technician performing detection work carries full licensing and liability coverage.
We walk you through what the equipment found, not just hand you a bill.
These are the hidden leak scenarios we investigate most often across Alton, IL.
This method works well for pressurized supply line leaks that create a detectable sound signature.
We narrow a slab leak to a specific small area rather than an entire room.
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.
An unexplained increase in water usage gets investigated systematically to find the hidden cause.
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.
Detection and repair are backed by a written warranty on the diagnosis and any repair performed.
