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 Menlo technicians use acoustic and thermal equipment to find them without tearing into walls or floors on a guess.
Detection equipment on every Menlo truck means we don't have to guess and open drywall speculatively.
Locating the leak precisely keeps any necessary opening small and targeted rather than exploratory.
Every technician performing detection work carries full licensing and liability coverage.
You'll see or hear the detection results and understand exactly where the leak is before deciding on repair.
From a rising water bill with no visible cause to a damp spot that keeps returning, we locate the source before recommending repair.
Listening equipment picks up the sound of water escaping under pressure, even through concrete or behind walls.
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.
We locate the actual leak point, which is often not directly behind the visible water stain.
Underground irrigation and pool line leaks are diagnosed with the same precision as household leaks.
We check for common culprits — running toilets, slab leaks, irrigation issues — starting with the most likely first.
A quick call gets a detection specialist scheduled, often same-day.
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.
"Damp spot kept coming back after we patched it ourselves. Turned out the actual leak was three feet away, inside the wall." — Homeowner, Menlo
"Thermal imaging found a hot water line leak we never would have located on our own." — Menlo resident
"Appreciated that they explained the equipment and showed me the readings instead of just saying 'trust us.'" — Menlo customer
Our detection-equipped trucks cover Menlo and the surrounding Menlo, IA area for both residential and light commercial leak searches.
Sensitive listening equipment picks up the sound signature of pressurized water escaping through a crack or joint, even through concrete.
Detection pricing is quoted upfront when you call, and often applied toward the repair if you proceed with us.
In most cases, yes — detection equipment locates the leak before any cutting, so demolition is targeted and minimal.
Reduced water pressure combined with a rising bill is another common early indicator worth investigating.
Outdoor systems are diagnosed with the same precision equipment used for household leaks.
Detection and repair are separate decisions — you're never obligated to use us for the repair after detection.
