Water Leak Detection
SoCal Repipes provides professional water leak detection for homes experiencing hidden plumbing leaks. Using advanced electronic leak detection equipment and pressure testing methods, we accurately locate pressurized water leaks in walls, ceilings, yards, and beneath concrete slabs without unnecessary demolition.
Signs You May Have a Water Leak
Hidden water leaks can cause structural damage, mold growth, and rising utility costs if not addressed quickly.
- Unexplained increase in water bills
- Sound of running water when fixtures are off
- Low water pressure
- Warm or damp spots on flooring
- Water stains on walls or ceilings
- Musty or mold odors indoors
If you notice these warning signs, professional leak detection helps prevent further damage.
Our Water Leak Detection Process
We isolate and test your plumbing system to determine the source and exact location of the leak.
System Pressure Testing
Hot and cold water lines are tested independently to identify pressure loss and determine which line is leaking.
Electronic Acoustic Detection
Sensitive listening equipment detects the sound frequency of water escaping under pressure through pipes beneath walls or slabs.
CO2 Line Pressurization
When necessary, carbon dioxide is introduced into the system to enhance detection accuracy for low sound leaks.
Detection services locate the leak source only. Repair work is quoted separately once the location is confirmed.
What Water Leak Detection Does Not Include
- Non pressurized drain line leaks
- Roof leaks
