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 Makanda 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 Makanda, IL technicians are trained specifically on detection equipment, not just general plumbing repair.
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 Makanda, 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.
Infrared imaging reveals temperature differences caused by escaping hot or cold water behind walls and under floors.
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.
Our Makanda, IL detection trucks carry the equipment needed for most residential and light commercial leak searches.
The leak is located and the findings explained in plain terms, along with a flat price for the necessary repair.
The identified leak is repaired, or we connect you with our repair team, and the fix is tested to confirm the leak is resolved.
