Effects of Unchecked Water Leaks
Structural damage to your property
An underground leak may take time for the water to show up on the surface and can cause severe structural damage. Water seeping into your foundation or walls can weaken its structure and cause cracks, and in extreme cases, structurally unsound conditions that may lead to collapse. A water leak may be caused by:
- High system pressure
- Corrosion of pipes due to age
- Improper installation and maintenance
- Burst pipes due to frost and freezing
- Damaged and failing joints
- Ground shifting due to erosion or earthquake
Health hazards due to mold and mildew buildup:
Water leaking into your home can create a damp, humid environment and cause mold and mildew growth. Not only is this unsightly, but long-term mold exposure can cause serious health problems such as difficulty breathing, coughing, and skin irritation.
Increase in water bills:
Lost water can easily add up and result in skyrocketing water bills. You may not be aware of the leak until you’ve already replaced your entire plumbing system, or worse yet, have to pay a hefty fine from the water company. Possible areas where a leak may occur include:
- In water supply lines or pipes leading to or from the main
- Sewer lines
- Inside the walls
- Under the floor or in the crawl space
- Inside the appliance
- At the water meter or connection point
- Appliance connection joints
Possible contamination of your drinking water:
If the water leak is coming from a sewer line, there is a risk of contamination in your drinking water. This may cause harmful bacteria to enter your home and make you and your family ill.
Insect infestations:
Standing water provides a breeding ground for insects and pests, which can quickly become a major problem in your home. Not only can they do serious damage to furniture and property, but they may also spread diseases and cause serious health risks.
Give us a call for:
- Clogged bathroom sinks
- Backed up kitchen sinks
- Slow draining showers and bathtubs

For homeowners who want protection beyond standard leak detection, we install whole-home automatic shut-off systems that stop a flood before it starts.
These systems monitor water flow in real time. If abnormal usage or a burst pipe is detected, the main water supply shuts off automatically — limiting damage to a small, manageable event instead of a full-scale restoration.

Automatic main-line shut-off
App, text, or email alerts
Water-usage tracking
Remote control of your home’s water from anywhere

Is It Right for Your Home?
A shut-off system is usually recommended when:
You’ve had a previous leak
The home is vacant part-time
You’ve invested in a remodel or high-end finishes

We size and configure the system based on your plumbing layout so it works properly with your water pressure, fixtures, and appliances.

Reliable shut-off when it matters
No flow-restriction issues

Underground Leak Detection Methods
At our locally owned plumbing company, we use state-of-the-art technology to detect water leaks underground, in walls, ceilings, and other hard-to-reach areas inside your home or business. We use noise correlators and acoustic leak detector services to spot areas that could be indicative of a water leak problem. Our services also include line location and tracing, pressure testing, and infrared imaging to ensure you get the most comprehensive diagnosis of your water leak problem.
Â
To eliminate the need for digging out the ground and searching for the source of the leak, we use advanced detection methods which have proven to be more reliable and accurate. We have significantly reduced our response time and repair costs by utilizing these underground leak detection methods.
Â
1. Acoustic Leak Detection:
We use advanced acoustic microphones and amplifiers to detect even the slightest changes in pressure or sound that occur when a leak is present. We can pinpoint exactly where the leak is coming from and its severity, allowing us to repair it quickly with minimal disruption or damage. The size and material of the pipes also play a crucial role in how accurately we can detect any leaks. Small diameter and metallic pipes are particularly well suited for this technology.
Â
2. Ground Penetrating Radar:
This is a non-destructive method used to locate and determine the size of underground leaks. It works by sending out radio waves, which are reflected off objects in the pipes. The resulting data helps us to accurately identify and map the location of any leaks.
Â
3. Infrared Thermal Imaging:
This is a cost-effective method of detecting and locating underground leaks. It works by detecting changes in the temperature of pipes, which can indicate a leak. This method is particularly useful for detecting leaks in PVC pipes, as it is relatively easy to detect changes in temperature.
Â
4. Leak Noise Correlators:
This method uses two or more microphones placed at different points along the pipeline system. It listens for noise or vibration associated with a leak and then uses the data to pinpoint its exact location. An automated process identifies the source of the noise and generates a report with its exact location on the main control unit. Immediately after, we can then take the necessary measures to repair it quickly.
