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 West Union technicians use acoustic and thermal equipment to find them without tearing into walls or floors on a guess.
We use listening equipment and thermal imaging to locate leaks through walls, floors, and slabs without demolition.
We find the leak before recommending any repair scope, which keeps costs and disruption down.
Our West Union, IA 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 West Union, IA.
This method works well for pressurized supply line leaks that create a detectable sound signature.
We narrow a slab leak to a specific small area rather than an entire room.
Infrared imaging reveals temperature differences caused by escaping hot or cold water behind walls and under floors.
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.
Describe the symptoms to dispatch — a wet spot, a sound, or just a rising water bill all help narrow the search.
Our West Union, IA detection trucks carry the equipment needed for most residential and light commercial leak searches.
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, West Union
"Pool was losing water and they traced it to a cracked return line, not the liner like the pool company assumed." — West Union resident
"Kept the slab opening small because they found the exact spot first. Minimal mess." — West Union customer
We serve West Union proper and nearby West Union, IA communities for acoustic and thermal leak detection.
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.
