An unexplained spike on the water bill, a damp patch on the floor with no obvious source, or the faint sound of running water somewhere in the walls — hidden leaks are frustrating precisely because you can't see them. Our Braidwood technicians use acoustic and thermal equipment to find them without tearing into walls or floors on a guess.
We use listening equipment and thermal imaging to locate leaks through walls, floors, and slabs without demolition.
Locating the leak precisely keeps any necessary opening small and targeted rather than exploratory.
Every technician performing detection work carries full licensing and liability coverage.
We walk you through what the equipment found, not just hand you a bill.
These are the hidden leak scenarios we investigate most often across Braidwood, IL.
This method works well for pressurized supply line leaks that create a detectable sound signature.
We narrow a slab leak to a specific small area rather than an entire room.
Infrared imaging reveals temperature differences caused by escaping hot or cold water behind walls and under floors.
Leaks inside wall cavities are traced to their source rather than just patching the visible stain or damage.
Pressure testing and specialized equipment locate leaks in pool plumbing and irrigation lines that waste significant water.
We check for common culprits — running toilets, slab leaks, irrigation issues — starting with the most likely first.
A quick call gets a detection specialist scheduled, often same-day.
A technician arrives with acoustic and thermal detection equipment ready to survey the affected area.
The leak is located and the findings explained in plain terms, along with a flat price for the necessary repair.
Detection and repair are backed by a written warranty on the diagnosis and any repair performed.
"Damp spot kept coming back after we patched it ourselves. Turned out the actual leak was three feet away, inside the wall." — Homeowner, Braidwood
"Pool was losing water and they traced it to a cracked return line, not the liner like the pool company assumed." — Braidwood resident
"Kept the slab opening small because they found the exact spot first. Minimal mess." — Braidwood customer
