Where Hidden Leaks Commonly Occur

Leaks can hide in many places, making them difficult to find without specialized equipment. Some common locations include:

• Behind walls and cabinets
• Under floors and carpets
• Beneath concrete slabs (Slab Leaks)
• Around foundations
• Behind appliances (like refrigerators with ice makers or dishwashers)
• In underground pipes leading to your home or irrigation system
• Within pipes in crawl spaces or attics

Our technicians are trained to inspect these and other potential leak locations thoroughly.

Our Advanced Leak Detection Process

When you suspect a leak and call Midway Plumbing, here's what you can expect:

• Initial Assessment: Our technician arrives at your Sweetwater home and performs a visual inspection, gathers information about the signs you've noticed, and assesses the potential leak area.
• Utilizing Advanced Technology: We deploy sophisticated tools designed to locate leaks non-invasively.
• Pinpointing the Leak Source: Using the data from our equipment, we accurately identify the exact location of the hidden leak.
• Discussion & Recommendations: We clearly explain our findings, show you where the leak is, and provide recommendations for the necessary repairs.

The Technology We Use for Accurate Detection

Finding hidden leaks requires more than just looking around. We invest in state-of-the-art technology to ensure precise and efficient leak detection:

• Acoustic Listening Equipment: These highly sensitive tools allow us to listen for the sound of water leaking from pipes, even through walls or under floors and concrete. Different types of leaks produce distinct sounds that our trained ears and specialized equipment can identify.
• Thermal Imaging Cameras: Infrared cameras can detect subtle temperature differences caused by water leaks behind surfaces that are cooler or warmer than the surrounding area. This helps us narrow down potential leak locations without opening walls.
• Video Pipe Inspection: For leaks within drainage or sewer lines, we can use flexible cameras inserted into pipes to visually inspect the interior condition and identify blockages, cracks, or other damage causing the leak. Learn more about our Trenchless Sewers services.
• Pressure Testing: We can isolate sections of your plumbing system and test them under pressure to confirm if there's a leak and help determine which line is affected.

These methods are designed to be minimally invasive, saving you time, money, and the hassle of unnecessary destruction to your property.

How much does leak detection cost?

The cost of leak detection varies depending on the complexity of the leak, the size of the property, and the time required to locate it. We provide estimates before beginning work. It's important to remember that the cost of detection is often significantly less than the cost of repairing extensive damage caused by an undetected leak.

Can you find leaks anywhere?

We have the technology and expertise to locate leaks in most common areas of residential and commercial plumbing systems, including supply lines, drain lines, under slabs, behind walls, and within irrigation systems.

What happens if you find a leak?

Once the leak is located, our technician will discuss the findings with you and explain the repair options. We can then provide a separate estimate for the necessary repairs to fix the leak and restore your plumbing system. We can often handle the repair right away or schedule it promptly.

Is leak detection covered by insurance?

Coverage varies greatly depending on your homeowner's insurance policy. Some policies may cover the cost of locating the leak if the resulting damage is covered. We recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to understand your specific coverage.
