Water Line Leak Detection FAQ
Got questions about water line leaks? You’re not alone. Many homeowners aren’t sure how deep leaks can be, if they can be found under concrete, or what happens after detection.
We’ve gathered some of the most common questions we hear and answered them simply so you’ll know exactly what to expect when you call us.
Yes, we can detect leaks on very long water lines, even those that stretch 15,000 feet or more. Using sonar-based listening equipment and specialized attachments, we carefully follow the sound of escaping water until we locate the problem.
While it takes more time to cover a line of that length, our process can handle both small residential service lines and larger commercial or municipal systems. This means no matter the size of the property, we can give you accurate answers without unnecessary digging or guesswork.
Even a small, unexplained increase in water use can signal a leak, so it’s best not to wait for major loss before calling. If your bill or meter shows a consistent jump without a reason, it’s time to get leak detection.
Signs you should call for detection:
- A sudden spike in your water bill without extra usage
- Your meter keeps running when no water is on
- Puddles, damp spots, or musty smells around your home or yard
- Hearing water running when everything is shut off
Rule of thumb: If your bill is noticeably higher or you suspect hidden water use, it’s better to check early than risk damage.
Why this matters: Acting quickly saves money, prevents property damage, and keeps small leaks from turning into costly repairs.
Yes, and in fact, this is one of the most common reasons homeowners call us.
A sudden increase in your water bill usually points to a hidden leak underground, under a slab, or in a water line that isn’t visible. These leaks often run continuously, so even a small break can waste hundreds of gallons in a short time. We use sonar listening equipment and other tools to track the sound of escaping water and pinpoint the area where the leak is occurring.
Once the leak is located, you’ll know what’s happening and can share that information with a plumber or contractor to get the right repair without wasted time or guesswork.
A sudden drop in water pressure is often tied to a hidden leak in your service line or plumbing system. When water escapes before it reaches your faucets, pressure throughout the house can drop noticeably.
We use specialized listening equipment to check the line and trace the source of the problem without unnecessary digging. Once we find the leak, you’ll have a clear explanation of what’s happening and can pass that information along to your plumber for repair.
