Signs to look for

When to call us for leak detection

For the written restoration scope, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.

The meter's low flow indicator keeps turning with everything shut off

From the first moisture reading, that little triangle or dial moving with no fixture running proves water is escaping somewhere on the supply side.

Your utility sent a high usage or continuous flow alert

During our assessment, smart meters flag flow that never drops to zero across a whole day. From the first moisture reading, those alerts commonly arrive before any water is visible inside the building.

You can hear a hiss or a rush in one wall

For the written restoration scope, pressurized water escaping through a small opening makes a steady high frequency sound.

A strip of lawn is greener or soggier than the rest during dry weather

During our assessment, an underground service line leak waters the ground above it long before it surfaces.

The pool loses more than about a quarter inch a day

For the written restoration scope, evaporation accounts for roughly a quarter inch daily in most conditions.

An irrigation zone stays wet after the system shuts down

During our assessment, a cracked lateral or a valve that will not seat keeps feeding one zone continuously.

What happens

How we handle leak detection

Our restoration specialists adjust the work to the areas and materials involved, the measured reach of the water, and the materials that can be saved.

A symptom interview that narrows the system first

From the first moisture reading, supply, drain, irrigation, pool and hydronic heating all leak differently and are found with different methods.

Meter observation and valve by valve isolation

For the written restoration scope, we watch the water meter while closing isolation valves one at a time, section by section.

A static pressure test on the supply system

As our specialists document the loss, the main is closed and a pressure gauge is fitted at a hose bib or a laundry connection.

Hot side and cold side separated

During our assessment, isolating at the hot water outlet splits the system in half. For the written restoration scope, knowing which half leaks halves the search area before any listening starts.

Acoustic listening at ground and wall surfaces

For the written restoration scope, an acoustic listening device and a ground microphone amplify the sound of water escaping under pressure.

Leak noise correlation on long buried runs

As our specialists document the loss, a leak noise correlator places sensors at two access points and calculates the leak position from the tiny difference in arrival times.

What to expect

What to expect from our restoration specialists

Here is how we in many cases handle leak detection near Ohio.

  1. 1

    You describe the symptom and what has been ruled out

    As our specialists document the loss, meter movement, a wet spot, a sound, a bill, or a failed pressure test all start the search in different places.

    Your call
  2. 2

    One check you can make before we arrive

    From the first moisture reading, close every fixture, then look at the water meter and note whether the low flow indicator moves. During our assessment, describe the answer when we get there, because it aims the whole visit.

    +10 minutes
  3. 3

    The system is identified before any tool comes out

    For the written restoration scope, we confirm whether this is supply, drain, irrigation, pool or heating.

    On arrival
  4. 4

    Isolation, valve by valve

    From the first moisture reading, sections are closed one at a time while the meter is watched. As our specialists document the loss, each closure that stops the flow shrinks the search area, commonly by more than half.

    First 20 minutes
  5. 5

    Static pressure test to confirm and size the loss

    For the written restoration scope, a gauge on a closed system tells us whether pressure holds, and how fast it falls if it does not.

    Next 20 minutes
  6. 6

    Line tracing, then the acoustic sweep

    During our assessment, we map where the pipe runs, then listen along it with a ground microphone or a wall probe.

    Mid visit
  7. 7

    Correlation or tracer gas if the sound is not enough

    For the written restoration scope, long buried runs get a leak noise correlator, and quiet or plastic lines get tracer gas.

    As needed

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

We review with you the written restoration scope and price before you approve the job. These examples show what may change the estimate.

Common situationWhat the estimate may includeTypical range
Standard leak detection visit, accessible plumbing, one systemAs our specialists document the loss, national estimate for isolation, pressure testing and an acoustic sweep with a marked location.$150 to $400
Slab leak location using acoustic listening with thermal screeningDuring our assessment, national estimate. During our assessment, the common band for locating a leak under a slab on grade.$250 to $600
Underground water service line leak location between the meter and the houseDuring our assessment, national estimate including line tracing and correlation on a buried run.$300 to $800
Tracer gas testing where acoustic methods cannot isolate the lineDuring our assessment, national estimate. For the written restoration scope, used on plastic pipe, low pressure lines and noisy sites.$350 to $900
Pool or irrigation line leak locationDuring our assessment, national estimate. During our assessment, pressure testing each line and zone, then locating the failed section.$300 to $700
Written detection report with photographs for a carrier or a builderAs our specialists document the loss, national estimate added to the detection fee when formal documentation is required.$100 to $300
After hours or emergency detection dispatchFor the written restoration scope, national estimate for nights, weekends and holidays, billed once rather than per hour.$100 to $400 nationally

  • Which system is leaking
    From the first moisture reading, a supply line under pressure is the most locatable.

  • Whether the pipe route is known
    If nobody knows where the line runs, tracing has to happen before listening can start. On older properties that is commonly half the visit.

  • Slab, wall, crawl space or underground
    From the first moisture reading, an accessible wall or crawl space is quick.

  • Pipe material and depth
    For the written restoration scope, metal pipe carries leak sound well and is easier to hear.

  • Background noise conditions
    From the first moisture reading, traffic, machinery, wind and a busy building all mask the sound of a leak.

  • Access and what has to be moved
    As our specialists document the loss, furniture, stored goods, landscaping and finished surfaces all slow the sweep down.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

Moisture can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

Exploratory demolition costs more than detection

For the written restoration scope, two or three wrong holes in tile, drywall and flooring exceed a detection fee without delay, and the repairs are visible afterward.

A repair aimed at a guess leaves the leak running

As our specialists document the loss, replacing the section somebody suspected is how a stain returns three weeks later.

Every day is billed water and saturated ground

From the first moisture reading, a pressurized leak runs continuously, unlike a drip that only leaks when a fixture is used.

Soil washout undermines slabs and footings

For the written restoration scope, a leak under or near a foundation moves soil as well as water.

Helpful service information

What to know about leak detection

First identify the short explanation. Open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

As our specialists document the loss, the first move is deciding which system is losing water: pressurized supply, gravity drain, irrigation, pool plumbing or a heating loop.

Read the explanation

For the written restoration scope, leak detection is a process of elimination, and the tools come last. As our specialists document the loss, the first move is deciding which system is losing water: pressurized supply, gravity drain, irrigation, pool plumbing or a heating loop.

How the next step is decided

From the first moisture reading, a ground microphone on concrete or soil, or a probe against a wall, amplifies it while filtering traffic and machinery out.

Read the explanation

From the first moisture reading, acoustics work because pressurized water forced through a small opening makes a steady, characteristic sound.

What may change the work

During our assessment, the line is drained and charged with a hydrogen and nitrogen mix, safe and non toxic at the concentrations used.

Read the explanation

During our assessment, when nothing can be heard, tracer gas takes over. During our assessment, the line is drained and charged with a hydrogen and nitrogen mix, safe and non toxic at the concentrations used.

Common questions

Questions about leak detection

What is leak detection?

From the first moisture reading, it is the service of locating the source of an escaping water leak without demolishing the building to find it.

How is leak detection different from moisture mapping?

From the first moisture reading, they answer opposite questions. For the written restoration scope, detection finds where the water is coming from so it can be repaired. From the first moisture reading, moisture mapping measures how far the water has already spread so the right materials get dried.

Can you find a leak without breaking anything?

During our assessment, that is the entire point of the service. For the written restoration scope, acoustic listening, correlation, line tracing and tracer gas all work from the surface.

How accurate is leak detection?

From the first moisture reading, on a pressurized metal line in reasonable conditions we are commonly within a foot. As our specialists document the loss, plastic pipe, deep burial and heavy background noise widen that.

Do you repair the leak too?

As our specialists document the loss, no. For the written restoration scope, we locate, mark and document, and your plumber makes the repair.

How does acoustic leak detection work?

As our specialists document the loss, water escaping a pressurized pipe creates a steady sound as it forces through a small opening.

What is tracer gas leak detection and is it safe?

From the first moisture reading, the line is drained and filled with a hydrogen and nitrogen mix, which is a safe, non toxic blend at the dilution used.
