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 Duke technicians use acoustic and thermal equipment to find them without tearing into walls or floors on a guess.
Detection equipment on every Duke 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.
Our Duke, MO 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 Duke, MO.
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.
We locate the actual leak point, which is often not directly behind the visible water stain.
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.
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.
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.
