(623) 451-8952East Valley’s Most Advanced Leak Detection Technology
A hidden water leak can ruin floors, drive up your water bill, and even compromise your home’s foundation. In the East Valley’s expansive clay soil, undetected slab leaks are especially destructive. We bring professional plumbing leak detection to your doorstep — using a combination of electronic amplification, infrared cameras, and acoustic pinning to locate the exact source of the leak without cutting into concrete or drywall unless absolutely necessary.
Our licensed technicians have over 15 years of experience interpreting the signals that hard water corrosion and shifting soil produce. Whether it’s a pinhole leak behind a wall, a slab leak under your living room, or a main line break in the yard, we pinpoint the problem in hours, not days. Then we provide repair options — often trenchless — to get your home back to normal fast.
Our Leak Detection Services
Acoustic Leak Detection
Highly sensitive microphones and ground probes listen for the sound of pressurized water escaping from pipes — even under concrete slabs.
Infrared Thermal Imaging
Thermal cameras detect temperature differences caused by hidden moisture, making leaks behind walls and under floors visible without damage.
Electronic Pipe Tracing
We use electromagnetic line tracing to map the exact route of metallic pipes and pinpoint the leak location with precision.
Video Camera Inspection
HD sewer cameras inspect the inside of drain lines and water mains to spot cracks, root intrusion, and collapsed sections.
Slab Leak Detection
Specialized equipment finds leaks in copper pipes beneath concrete floors. We locate the leak within inches, minimizing floor damage.
Water Main Leak Detection
From the meter to the house, we detect leaks in buried water mains and offer trenchless repair or replacement options.
Our Non‑Invasive Leak Detection Process
We check your water meter for movement, conduct a pressure test on the system, and listen at key access points with ground microphones. This gives us a general idea of the leak’s size and location.
We deploy infrared cameras to scan walls and floors for thermal anomalies. Simultaneously, we use electronic line tracing to map pipe routes and narrow the search area.
For slab leaks, we use acoustic amplifiers at multiple points on the floor to triangulate the exact leak location. We mark the spot and confirm with a second method to ensure accuracy.
We present you with repair options — including epoxy pipe lining, pipe bursting, or spot repair — and a flat‑rate quote. Most repairs are completed same‑day with minimal disruption.

Leak Detection FAQs — Slab Leaks, Infrared, and More
We use a combination of electronic amplification (acoustic pinning) and infrared thermal imaging. The acoustic device listens for the hissing sound of water escaping under pressure, while the thermal camera spots the subtle temperature difference caused by the leak. We triangulate the exact spot and mark it — only that small area needs to be opened for repair.
Acoustic pinning uses multiple ground microphones placed at different points on the floor. By measuring the time delay of the leak sound reaching each microphone, the system calculates the precise location — typically within 6 to 12 inches. It’s our primary tool for slab leak detection and is highly reliable.
Yes. Infrared thermal imaging is excellent for finding hidden moisture in walls, ceilings, and floors. Water changes the surface temperature, and our high‑resolution camera displays it as a cold or hot spot. It’s non‑invasive and very effective for shower pan leaks, behind‑wall pinholes, and ceiling drips.
Unexplained high water bills, sound of running water when all fixtures are off, warm spots on the floor, cracks in walls or flooring, and damp carpet are all indicators. East Valley homes with older copper pipes and hard water are especially prone. If you notice any of these, call us immediately.
Absolutely. Once we pinpoint the leak, we can often repair it the same day. We offer spot repairs, epoxy pipe lining, and trenchless pipe replacement. Our technicians carry the necessary equipment and parts to complete most repairs in one visit.
Most residential leak detection jobs take 1‑2 hours for a complete diagnostic. Complex slab leaks may take longer, but we’ll give you a timeline upfront. We never rush — accuracy is more important than speed.
Yes. Active leaks that are flooding your home can’t wait. Our 24/7 emergency team can arrive within 60 minutes to shut off water and begin detection. Call (623) 451-8952 for immediate dispatch.
