Water Leak Detection

Water Leak Detection

Hidden water leaks can cause thousands of dollars in damage before you even know they exist. From mold growth behind walls to structural deterioration beneath floors, undetected leaks are one of the most costly plumbing problems homeowners and building managers face. Karl's Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling uses advanced, non-invasive leak detection technology to locate hidden leaks without tearing apart your property.

Non-Invasive Detection Technology

Our licensed master plumbers use electronic listening devices, thermal imaging cameras, and moisture meters to pinpoint the exact location of leaks hidden behind walls, under floors, and beneath concrete slabs. These tools allow us to detect leaks with precision, saving you the cost and disruption of exploratory demolition.

Common Sources of Hidden Leaks

• Slab leaks — pipes running beneath your foundation can crack or corrode over time
• Behind-wall leaks — supply lines inside walls may develop pinhole leaks from corrosion
• Toilet and fixture leaks — slow leaks around wax rings and supply connections waste water silently
• Radiant heating leaks — embedded pipes in heated floors can develop leaks that are difficult to access
• Underground service lines — the water main connecting your property to the city supply

Signs You May Have a Hidden Leak

Watch for these warning signs that indicate a hidden leak in your home or building:

• Unexplained increase in your water bill
• Sound of running water when all fixtures are off
• Musty or moldy odors, especially in enclosed spaces
• Damp spots, discoloration, or bubbling on walls, ceilings, or floors
• Warm spots on the floor (indicating a hot water line leak)

If you suspect a water leak in your home or commercial property, don't wait for visible damage to appear. Early detection saves money on both repair costs and water bills. Call Karl's Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling at (800) 721-3200 to schedule a leak detection appointment.
