Leak Detection & Repair
We find hidden leaks, watch the meter to confirm the fix, and check for others.
We use acoustic leak detection and thermal imaging to find leaks inside walls, under slabs, and behind fixtures without tearing into your home first. Once we pinpoint the problem, we repair it with the right method for that situation, whether that's a simple fitting replacement or a section of pipe. We've been doing this in Magnolia for years and know how to handle the mineral deposits and pressure issues common in our area.
Houston humidity and our hard water create conditions that accelerate corrosion in copper and galvanized lines. We check for leaks during the rainy season when water tables rise and pressure on underground pipes peaks. If we find an active leak, we'll explain whether a localized repair makes sense or if your line needs more work. We document everything with photos so you see exactly what we found and what we fixed.
You get a clear diagnosis before any work starts. We show you where the leak is, explain what caused it, and give you the repair cost upfront. Most jobs take a day or less. You'll know your water damage risk is handled and your bill won't surprise you.
What's included: Acoustic and thermal imaging to locate hidden leaks; Pressure testing to confirm leak location; Repair of the leak with materials rated for Magnolia water conditions; Documentation with photos of the problem and solution; Upfront pricing before any work begins.
Leak Detection & Repair — FAQ
How do you find a leak if I can't see water?
We use acoustic sensors that pick up the sound of water escaping from pipes, plus thermal cameras that detect temperature changes in walls and floors. These tools let us narrow down the exact spot without guessing or opening walls.
What if the leak is under my slab?
We can confirm a slab leak with imaging and pressure tests. Depending on the location and severity, we either access it from an existing cleanout or we discuss your repair options, which might include rerouting the line above ground if the leak is deep.
How much does leak detection cost?
Detection runs $150 to $250 depending on how accessible your lines are. If you move forward with repair, we credit half that fee toward the repair cost. Most repairs in Magnolia run $300 to $800 for standard copper or PEX lines.
