Find It Before It Spreads

Leak Detection in Palo Alto, CA

A small leak behind a wall or under a slab can run up your water bill and quietly damage your home for months before it's visible. Our leak detection process uses electronic listening equipment and moisture sensors to find the exact source — including radiant-slab leaks in Eichler homes, where guesswork means cutting into a concrete floor.

Signs You Need This

  • Your water bill jumped with no clear explanation
  • You hear hissing or dripping inside a wall or under the floor

Leak Detection FAQs

How do you find a leak without tearing up my walls?

We start with acoustic listening devices and thermal imaging to narrow the search area, so we only open up the smallest area necessary — usually after we're already confident where the leak is.

Will my homeowner's insurance cover this?

Many policies cover sudden leak damage but not the underlying repair. We can provide documentation of our findings to support a claim — check with your insurer for specifics.

How fast can you get someone out?

Active leaks are treated as priority calls. We'll typically get to you within the same day for anything causing ongoing water loss.
