Leak Detection — Common Questions
How do you detect leaks without tearing up my floors or walls?
We use non-invasive electronic leak detection equipment — acoustic devices and pressure testing — to locate leaks under slabs, behind walls, and underground without unnecessary demolition.
What are signs I might have a hidden leak?
Common signs include an unexplained increase in your water bill, the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, warm spots on the floor (slab leak), wet or discolored walls, or a water meter that moves when nothing is running.
What areas do you serve for leak detection?
We provide professional leak detection throughout San Diego County — including Carlsbad, Escondido, Oceanside, Vista, San Marcos, San Diego, and surrounding communities.

Yes — slab leak detection is one of our specialties. We use electronic detection equipment to pinpoint the exact location of leaks under your foundation so we can repair with minimal concrete removal.
