Electronic Leak Detection

SoCal Repipes provides electronic leak detection services to accurately locate hidden water leaks in pressurized plumbing systems. Using advanced acoustic listening devices and pressure testing equipment, we pinpoint leaks in walls, ceilings, and beneath concrete slabs without unnecessary demolition.

When Electronic Leak Detection Is Needed

Hidden leaks can cause structural damage and high water bills if not located quickly. Electronic detection allows precise locating before repairs begin.

• Unexplained increase in water bills
• Sound of running water when fixtures are off
• Warm spots on flooring
• Water stains on walls or ceilings
• Low water pressure throughout the home
• Moisture or mold odors indoors

If you suspect a hidden pressurized leak, professional electronic detection helps avoid unnecessary cutting or excavation.

How Electronic Leak Detection Works

Our process focuses on isolating the affected line and using specialized equipment to narrow the leak location within a defined radius.

Acoustic Listening Equipment

Sensitive microphones detect the sound frequency produced by escaping water under pressure.

System Isolation and Pressure Testing

Hot and cold lines are tested separately to determine which system is losing pressure.

CO2 Pressurization When Needed

If a leak is not producing a strong acoustic signal, carbon dioxide may be introduced to improve detection accuracy.

Leak detection services identify the source location only. Repair estimates are provided separately once the leak is confirmed.

What Electronic Leak Detection Does Not Cover

• Non pressurized drain line leaks
• Roof leaks
• Rainwater intrusion
• Window leaks
• Air conditioning condensation leaks
• Swimming pool plumbing leaks

This service focuses specifically on pressurized water supply lines.

Benefits of Accurate Leak Detection

• Minimizes property damage
• Reduces unnecessary demolition
• Provides clear repair direction
• Saves time during repairs
• Protects flooring and structural components

Accurate locating is the first step in resolving water leaks correctly and efficiently.
