Services
Leak Detection
Our advanced acoustic and thermal imaging technology locates hidden leaks in walls, floors, and ceilings without destructive testing. We identify pressurized water line issues, slab leaks, and roof seepage with 95% accuracy. Commercial and residential clients benefit from our guaranteed damage-free diagnostics and repair guidance.
Gas Leak Detection
Using calibrated gas sensors, we pinpoint methane and propane leaks in residential and commercial properties. Our technicians isolate affected lines and provide safety protocols for immediate remediation. We follow OSHA standards for hazardous gas detection and maintain partnerships with licensed plumbers for urgent repairs.
Sewer Inspection
Our Duct Hunter rod and sewer camera system navigates complex drain lines to identify blockages, root intrusion, and pipe degradation. We provide real-time video evidence of issues and collaborate with excavation specialists for targeted repairs. Annual inspections help prevent costly backups in multi-unit properties.
Infrared Imaging
This non-contact technology maps moisture intrusion and energy loss patterns across structures. We generate detailed thermal reports showing hidden water damage, electrical hotspots, and insulation deficiencies. Property managers use our scans to prioritize maintenance and improve energy efficiency.
Utility Mapping
We identify buried gas, electrical, and plumbing lines using electromagnetic detection before construction projects. Our color-coded site maps comply with California Gopher State standards, preventing accidental utility strikes during excavation. Emergency mapping services available for urgent development timelines.
