A name, a number and one sentence is plenty. Tell us what the water is doing: a damp patch, a bill that jumped, a meter that will not sit still, or a sound inside a wall. A photo of the wet patch helps even more. Call (585) 123-4567 and describe it in your own words.
Most leaks hide. Water travels along pipes and inside walls, so the damage often shows up far from the leak. Our guide on how to find a hidden water leak explains the checks in detail.
An unexplained jump in your water bill is the most common sign of a hidden leak. A step up that never comes back down is the shape of a leak. A high water bill investigation starts with the meter, not with a guess.
Turn off every tap and appliance, then watch the water meter. If the low-flow dial keeps moving, water is going somewhere. This water meter leak test takes only a few minutes.
Yellow or brown stains, paint that bubbles, or drywall that feels soft when you press it all point to water behind the surface. A damp patch low on a wall often means a water supply line is leaking inside it. A damp, earthy smell that cleaning does not remove means water is trapped somewhere.
A warm patch on a floor can point to a hot water line leaking under a slab foundation, often the line from the water heater. Slab leaks often show this way first.
If you hear water moving inside a wall or under a floor when every fixture is off, something is flowing that should not be. A hiss or a faint rush can be a pinhole leak in a copper pipe or an older galvanized pipe.
A leak is a slow puzzle. Here is the order we work in, from the phone call to the answer.
Call (585) 123-4567 any time, day or night. We ask what you can see, hear and smell, and what your bill has been doing. This is emergency leak detection.
When we arrive, we run a water leak inspection. We check the water meter with everything off, then shut off sections one at a time until the loss stops. That rules out the parts that are fine.
Then we use acoustic listening, thermal imaging, pressure testing and line tracing. Nothing is opened up until we can mark the spot and say the leak is there.
You get shown the spot and told what is happening there, in plain language. If the leak has damaged walls or floors, our water damage restoration Inwood team can handle the drying and repair.
Most leaks we locate we also repair. The opening is only as big as the fix requires, and we test the line again after the repair. If what you have is not a leak, we will say so.
Our leak detection services cover every kind of hidden leak. See the full list on our services page.
We listen for the leak. An acoustic listening device picks up the sound of water escaping from a pressurized pipe, through soil, concrete and tile. Headphones filter out background noise, so we can hear the hiss of a pinhole leak.
A thermal imaging camera sees temperature, not water. A hot water leak shows as a warm line on a wall or floor, and a cold leak shows as a cool damp patch. Thermal imaging leak detection finds it without opening anything, and it is especially useful for slab leaks.
We isolate a line and watch whether it holds pressure. If the pressure drops, the line has a leak. Pressure testing tells us which line is losing water. Roto-Rooter notes that home water pressure ranges from 30 to 50 psi and should not exceed 60 psi.
Pipes under a slab foundation are the hardest to reach. A slab leak often shows as a warm spot on the floor, a damp patch, or a bill that keeps climbing. We use acoustic listening and thermal imaging to pinpoint it, so only one small area is opened.
The water line from the street to your home runs underground, and a leak there can waste water for months without a damp wall to warn you. We use line tracing to map where the pipe runs, then acoustic listening to find the leak. This is underground leak detection: locate first, dig second.
If your bill jumped and you cannot see anything wet, we work the property until the bill makes sense. We check the meter, test the lines, and look indoors and outdoors. Most of the time, the answer is a hidden leak.
Many homeowners wait for a puddle before they call. That is the myth worth forgetting. Most hidden leaks never make a puddle. The water soaks into framing or drains into the soil under a slab. By the time water shows, the damage has usually been growing for weeks.
A leak gives itself away in sound, pressure, temperature and dye. Our hidden leak detection starts with equipment, not with a hammer. This is non-invasive leak detection.
Before anybody comes out, you can settle the biggest question yourself: is water actually going missing? These checks are safe and need no tools. If one of them looks wrong, call us before it becomes a repair.
Turn off every tap, toilet and appliance, then watch the water meter. If the low-flow dial creeps while everything is off, water is going somewhere. This water meter leak test is the fastest check.
A running toilet can waste a lot of water without a sound. Put a few drops of food colouring in the toilet tank and wait 20 minutes without flushing. If colour shows in the bowl, the flapper is leaking.
Walk the rooms where pipes run: kitchen, bathrooms, laundry and basement. Look for stains, bubbling paint, soft drywall and damp baseboards. Feel the floor for warm or cold patches.
Find your main shutoff valve before you need it, usually where the water line enters the home. If a leak turns into a burst, shutting off the water first limits the damage. If you cannot find it, ask us when we visit.
