Advanced Leak Detection — Non-Invasive Technology
Hidden leaks are one of the most damaging plumbing problems — they grow silently inside walls, under slabs, and underground while causing mold, structural damage, and sky-high water bills. SM Plumbing's uses advanced leak detection technology to find leaks precisely without unnecessary demolition.
Types of Leaks We Detect
- Slab leaks — pipes leaking under concrete foundations
- Wall and ceiling pipe leaks
- Underground water line leaks
- Gas line leaks (licensed gas detection)
- Pool and irrigation system leaks
- Commercial building leaks
Our Leak Detection Technology
Electronic Leak Detection: Amplified listening devices detect the sound of water escaping pipes through walls and concrete — no guesswork, no unnecessary cutting.
Thermal Imaging: Infrared cameras detect temperature changes caused by leaking water behind walls and under floors.
Pressure Testing: We isolate pipe sections and test pressure to confirm leak location before opening any walls or floors.
Warning Signs of a Hidden Leak
- Unexplained spike in water bill
- Sound of running water with all fixtures off
- Warm or wet spots on floors
- Mold or mildew smell without visible moisture
- Cracks in walls, floors, or foundation
- Low water pressure throughout the home
