Leak Detection Services in Austin, TX
High water bill with no visible leak? A hidden slab, supply line, or roof leak may be the cause. We find it before it turns into a much bigger repair.
Leak detection finds hidden slab, supply line, and roof leaks using acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging, and moisture meters, without needing to cut into your foundation or walls first. It is the right call when you notice a high water bill or a damp spot with no obvious source. Call (512) 675-8599 to schedule detection.
Central Texas soil movement makes slab leaks a real risk
Austin's clay-heavy soil expands and contracts with rainfall and drought cycles, and that movement puts steady stress on the plumbing running under a home's foundation. A slab leak often starts small and stays hidden for weeks or months, showing up only as a high water bill, a warm spot on the floor, or a faint sound of running water.
Left undetected, a slab leak keeps feeding moisture into the foundation and subfloor, which eventually leads to flooring damage and mold, even without ever flooding visibly.
From high water bill to a pinpointed leak
Acoustic listening
Specialized equipment picks up the sound of water moving through pipes under floors and slabs.
Thermal & moisture confirmation
Thermal imaging and moisture meters narrow the leak location without cutting into the structure.
Targeted access
Only a small, precise access point is needed once the leak is confidently located.
Every week it runs is more water, more cost, and more risk.

Leak Detection FAQs
How is leak detection different from a water damage inspection?
Leak detection is used before visible damage appears, to find an active but hidden leak, often based on a high water bill or a sound of running water. A water damage inspection is used after a known event to document how far water already spread.
What tools are used to detect a hidden leak?
Acoustic listening devices pick up the sound of water moving through pipes, thermal cameras spot temperature differences caused by moisture, and moisture meters confirm damp areas behind walls or under flooring, all without needing to open up the structure first.
Can a slab leak be found without cutting into my foundation?
In most cases, yes. Acoustic and thermal detection methods can usually locate a slab leak closely enough to guide a small, targeted access point instead of a large exploratory cut into the foundation.
Why is my water bill high with no visible leak?
A hidden leak, often under a slab or inside a wall, is one of the most common causes of an unexplained water bill spike. Even a small, steady leak can add up to real gallons over a billing cycle without ever showing on the surface.
What happens after a leak is found?
Once located, the leak itself typically needs a plumber to repair the pipe, while any resulting water damage is extracted and dried by the restoration crew. Network pros can coordinate both so the fix happens without unnecessary back and forth.
