How We Find the Leak Without the Damage
In the past, plumbers had to play a guessing game, cutting holes in walls to find a leak behind a wall in Bridgewater. We utilize a non-invasive diagnostic process.
Our specialists employ thermal imaging cameras to detect temperature anomalies caused by escaping water. We use highly sensitive acoustic listening equipment to hear the exact frequency of water escaping a pipe under pressure. Additionally, moisture mapping and tracer gas testing allow us to isolate the exact location of the failure.
Once pinpointed, we can discuss precise pipe leak repair options, opening only the small area necessary to fix the problem.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will you need to tear down my walls to find the leak?
No. Our non-invasive technology allows us to pinpoint the location of the leak through solid surfaces. We only need to open the wall exactly where the repair must take place, saving you significant repair costs.
What should I do while waiting for your technician?
If the leak is active and causing damage, locate your home's main water shut-off valve and turn it off. This will stop the flow of water and prevent further damage until we arrive. For major flooding, see our emergency leak repair page.
