Signs you need a professional
Don't wait until minor issues become major losses.
Water stain on ceiling
A brown ring on the ceiling below a bathroom usually means a supply line or drain leak above. We find the exact pipe without opening the ceiling.
Damp drywall
Drywall that feels damp or shows bubbling paint has moisture behind it. We find the pipe source without cutting it open.
Unexplained high water bill
Your water bill is the best leak detector. If it's rising without changing usage, a hidden pipe leak is the most likely cause.
Musty smell in a room
Persistent musty odour behind a wall or under a floor means moisture is trapped. We find the pipe leak before mold becomes a health issue.
Sound of running water
Hearing water when all fixtures are off? There's a leak. We use acoustic detection to find it even behind finished surfaces.
Plumber couldn't find it
If your plumber has opened walls and still can't find the leak, call us. Our technology finds what visual inspection misses.
