Water Leak Detection
for Homes and Businesses
Water bill climbing for no reason? Our water leak detection service isolates every part of your plumbing, from toilets to irrigation, and tracks down exactly where water is escaping.
Water Leak Detection That Rules Out Each System One by One
Most properties have more places to leak than people realize. Toilets, faucets, the water heater, washing machine hoses, ice maker lines, the main service line, sprinkler zones, pool fill valves and the supply pipes hidden inside walls and slabs all carry water. When the bill goes up, any one of them could be responsible. Effective water leak detection starts by narrowing the search, ruling out systems one at a time until only the leaking section remains.
We call this isolation testing. Our technicians close individual valves, watch the meter, dye-test toilets, check the water heater relief valve and run irrigation zones separately. If interior plumbing is the culprit, we pressure test the hot and cold sides independently, which tells us whether a leak is on a heated line, a common sign of slab leaks. Only after the leaking system is confirmed do we bring out acoustic and thermal equipment to find the exact spot.
Water Leak Detection Services We Provide
Our water leak detection covers every part of a property’s plumbing, inside and out. Each check is designed to either clear a system or confirm it as the source, so time is spent efficiently.
Toilet Testing
Dye tests reveal silent flapper and fill valve leaks wasting water.
Supply Lines
Pressure test hot and cold lines to isolate hidden pipe leaks.
Service Line
Check the buried line between your water meter and building.
Irrigation Zones
Test each sprinkler zone for broken pipes, heads and valves.
Appliance Lines
Inspect ice maker, dishwasher, washer and water heater connections for leaks.
Bill Investigation
Compare meter readings and usage history to explain sudden bill spikes.
Common Sources of Water Leaks Found During Our Inspections
Toilets top the list. A worn flapper or misadjusted fill valve can leak silently into the bowl all day, wasting hundreds of gallons without a single visible drip. Irrigation systems come next, especially when a buried pipe cracks or a valve fails to close fully. Because sprinkler lines are underground and run intermittently, these leaks often go unnoticed for months until a soggy patch or an unusually high summer bill appears.
Inside walls and slabs, leaks often start at fittings, elbows and places where pipes rub against framing or concrete. Pinhole leaks in older copper, failing joints in polybutylene and corroded galvanized pipe are frequent finds. Water heaters can leak through a relief valve discharge line that runs outside, where nobody sees it dripping. Finally, the main service line can crack from ground movement or tree roots, releasing water before it ever reaches the house.
Why Customers Rely on Our Water Leak Detection
We don’t start cutting into walls on a hunch. Our licensed and insured technicians work through each system logically, document what they rule out and show you the evidence pointing to the leak. Many leaks turn out to be simple fixes like a toilet flapper or irrigation valve, and we’ll tell you so honestly. When a hidden pipe is the cause, we pinpoint it precisely, so repairs are focused, quick and as affordable as possible.

Benefits of Finding Water Leaks Quickly
Every day a leak runs adds to your water bill and increases the chance of damage. Prompt detection stops the waste and often pays for itself through lower bills alone. Finding leaks early prevents rot, mold and structural damage inside walls and under floors. Many water utilities offer leak adjustments on high bills when a repair is documented. And knowing your plumbing is leak-free gives you confidence that your usage reflects only what your household actually uses.

How to Test Your Toilets for Silent Leaks
Toilets are one of the most common hidden leaks, and testing them takes only a few minutes with something you probably have in the kitchen.
Remove the tank lid and add several drops of food coloring or a dye tablet to the water in the tank. Don’t flush. Wait about fifteen minutes, then look in the bowl. If colored water has appeared, the flapper isn’t sealing and water is leaking from tank to bowl continuously.
Also listen for the fill valve turning on by itself between flushes, and check whether water is running into the overflow tube. Either sign means water is being wasted. Replacing a flapper or adjusting the fill valve is inexpensive, yet it can make a noticeable difference to your bill.
How Our Water Leak Detection Works
Share your recent water bills and any symptoms you’ve noticed. Comparing usage history helps us estimate how much water is being lost.
Your technician reads the meter, then isolates systems step by step: toilets, irrigation, appliances, the water heater and the main service line. Interior supply lines are pressure tested separately on the hot and cold sides. Once the leaking system is identified, acoustic and thermal tools pinpoint the exact location.
You’ll get a clear explanation of the source, photos and a written summary suitable for utility leak adjustment requests or insurance. Simple fixes, such as toilet flappers, are often handled immediately. For hidden pipe leaks, we explain repair options and can schedule the work right away.

Water Leak Detection Questions Answered
Why is my water bill suddenly high?
Common causes include running toilets, irrigation leaks, hidden pipe leaks and service line breaks. A meter test confirms whether water is escaping.
Can a toilet leak raise my bill?
Yes. A silently leaking toilet can waste hundreds of gallons daily without visible signs. A simple dye test reveals most toilet leaks.
Will my utility adjust a high bill?
Many water utilities offer leak adjustments when a repair is documented. Our written findings and repair invoice can support your request.
Do you check sprinkler systems for leaks?
Yes. We test irrigation zones individually to find broken pipes, damaged heads and valves that don’t close fully, common sources of hidden water loss.
What if the leak is outside the house?
If the meter moves with the main valve closed, the leak is likely in the service line. We trace and locate it with acoustic equipment.
