What Does Our Leak Detection Include?
Leak detection locates hidden leaks in pipes, slabs, or walls, and it is where every homeowner with damp spots or high bills should start.
Finding the exact source before repair work protects your foundation, lowers your water bill, and keeps damage from spreading.

- Detection for supply lines, drain lines, and pressurized water pipes
- Thermal imaging that spots moisture behind flooring and drywall
- A clear written finding that shows the leak location and next steps
- A flat $99 leak detection fee so you know the cost upfront
When to Call for Leak Detection
Hidden leaks rarely announce themselves, so the early warning signs are easy to miss. Watch for these clues, and call us in Redding, CA before a small leak turns into major repairs.
Your Water Bill Keeps Climbing
A steady jump in your water bill with no change in usage often points to a hidden leak. Even a small crack in a pressurized line wastes hundreds of gallons a month.
In Redding’s hot, dry summers, heavy outdoor watering can hide that extra loss. We find the source so you stop paying for water you never use.
Damp Spots or Warm Floors
Soft, damp, or warm areas on your floor can signal a slab leak under the concrete. Many Redding and Anderson homes sit on slab foundations, which makes this a common local problem.
You may also notice a mildew smell or discolored baseboards. Our equipment locates the leak before any concrete gets opened.
Low Water Pressure
A sudden drop in water pressure can mean water is escaping before it reaches your faucet. This often happens with cracked supply lines or corroded older pipes.
Homes built decades ago around Shasta Lake and Palo Cedro are especially prone to this. We trace the pressure loss to its exact point.
The Sound of Running Water
Hearing water run when every fixture is off is a clear sign of a hidden leak. The sound may come from inside a wall, under the floor, or below the slab.
This is easy to ignore until damage shows up. Our acoustic tools follow the sound straight to the source.

Most visits take one to two hours, depending on the size of your property and how hidden the leak is. Simple supply-line leaks are faster, while slab leaks take longer to trace.
