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 Boring technicians use acoustic and thermal equipment to find them without tearing into walls or floors on a guess.
Detection equipment on every Boring 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.
Our Boring, OR technicians are trained specifically on detection equipment, not just general plumbing repair.
You'll see or hear the detection results and understand exactly where the leak is before deciding on repair.
These are the hidden leak scenarios we investigate most often across Boring, OR.
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.
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.
We check for common culprits — running toilets, slab leaks, irrigation issues — starting with the most likely first.
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.
The leak is located and the findings explained in plain terms, along with a flat price for the necessary repair.
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, Boring
"Pool was losing water and they traced it to a cracked return line, not the liner like the pool company assumed." — Boring resident
"Kept the slab opening small because they found the exact spot first. Minimal mess." — Boring customer
Our detection-equipped trucks cover Boring and the surrounding Boring, OR area for both residential and light commercial leak searches.
The equipment detects sound frequencies specific to escaping water under pressure, helping pinpoint location.
Ask dispatch for current detection pricing — it's disclosed before scheduling.
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.
