Plumbing Leak Detection
Our plumbing leak detection service identifies hidden water leaks in residential and commercial properties using advanced acoustic sensors and thermal imaging. Technicians perform pressure tests and utilize specialized equipment to pinpoint leaks in walls, floors, and underground pipes. With over 40 years of experience, we minimize property damage by avoiding unnecessary excavation while ensuring long-term solutions for pipe integrity.
Water Intrusion Inspection
This service addresses water penetration through building envelopes caused by roof leaks, window failures, or groundwater issues. Our team conducts comprehensive inspections using moisture meters and infrared thermography to identify entry points. We provide detailed reports with photo documentation to facilitate insurance claims and repair planning for residential and commercial structures.
Pool Leak Detection
Specialized pool leak detection employs pressure testing, dye testing, and electronic leak locators to identify leaks in pool shells, plumbing lines, and spa systems. Our technicians are trained in aquatic system diagnostics and can locate leaks in skimmers, returns, and underground pool piping without draining the pool in most cases.
Sewer Drain Camera Inspection
Using high-resolution push cameras and tractor-mounted systems, we inspect sewer and drain lines for cracks, root intrusion, and blockages. This non-invasive method allows real-time visualization of pipe interiors up to 200 feet deep, providing accurate diagnostics for repair planning while preventing unnecessary excavation.
Smoke Testing
Smoke testing involves introducing non-toxic smoke into drain systems to identify leaks and improper connections. This method effectively locates venting issues and cracked pipes in residential and commercial plumbing systems. Our technicians use specialized equipment to ensure safe, accurate testing that complies with industry standards.
