Specialized Leak Detection

Slab leaks, hidden pipe leaks, mystery water bills. We find it without tearing apart your house.

What we do

Specialized Leak Detection in Charlotte.

Hidden leaks can run for months before you see them — they show up in your water bill, your foundation, or behind your drywall. We use professional acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging, and pressure testing to pinpoint exactly where water is escaping, without tearing apart finished walls or floors first.

01

Slab leak detection

Acoustic and thermal imaging to locate concrete-slab leaks before they damage flooring, foundation, or structural components.

02

Hidden pipe leaks

Behind walls, in ceilings, under cabinets — we find the leak source with minimal cutting and zero guesswork.

03

Whole-house pressure testing

Section-by-section line testing when the leak source isn't obvious. Confirms or rules out each branch of the supply system.
