Residential Plumbing Leak Detection Services from Mr. Rooter

No two water leaks are the same, but some leak locations are certainly more common than others. Here are some of the most common areas you may discover a leak on your property:

  • The service line to your home
  • Inside your walls and floors
  • Crawl spaces and basements
  • Plumbing systems like radiant floor heating and heating and cooling hydronic lines

Home slab leaks are easily some of the most challenging to identify and repair out of all possible water leaks. In most situations, these leaks happen when the pipes underneath your home’s concrete slab or basement floor spring a leak.

How We Detect Plumbing Leaks

Unless you can see and hear a water leak, water leak detection can often be challenging. In fact, many homeowners require the expert services of plumbing professionals.

Here are just some of the many leak detection methods we may rely on:

1. Acoustic Listening Equipment
Acoustic listening equipment can be an excellent detection method if you have a home slab leak or a water leak in your walls. This technology amplifies the sound of water leaks to help our service professionals estimate where they are. This may prevent us from performing any unnecessary digging or drilling!

2. Video Inspection Equipment
Do you suspect a pipe leak in your home? Ask our Mr. Rooter Plumbing team about our advanced video inspection equipment. We can use small cameras to peer inside your pipes and locate a leak. We can even identify their location based on how much cable we insert into your pipes.

3. Soil Probes
We strive to keep disruption to your property to a minimum when detecting residential leaks. Soil probes can help with that. We use soil probe devices to listen for pressurized water escaping around water mains and sewer lines. This approach means we can keep disruption in your yard to a minimum while we detect and repair your leaky pipe.
