An unexplained spike on the water bill, a damp patch on the floor with no obvious source, or the faint sound of running water somewhere in the walls — hidden leaks are frustrating precisely because you can't see them. Our Radford technicians use acoustic and thermal equipment to find them without tearing into walls or floors on a guess.
Detection equipment on every Radford truck means we don't have to guess and open drywall speculatively.
We find the leak before recommending any repair scope, which keeps costs and disruption down.
Our Radford, VA technicians are trained specifically on detection equipment, not just general plumbing repair.
You'll see or hear the detection results and understand exactly where the leak is before deciding on repair.
From a rising water bill with no visible cause to a damp spot that keeps returning, we locate the source before recommending repair.
This method works well for pressurized supply line leaks that create a detectable sound signature.
We narrow a slab leak to a specific small area rather than an entire room.
Infrared imaging reveals temperature differences caused by escaping hot or cold water behind walls and under floors.
Leaks inside wall cavities are traced to their source rather than just patching the visible stain or damage.
Pressure testing and specialized equipment locate leaks in pool plumbing and irrigation lines that waste significant water.
We check for common culprits — running toilets, slab leaks, irrigation issues — starting with the most likely first.
Describe the symptoms to dispatch — a wet spot, a sound, or just a rising water bill all help narrow the search.
Our Radford, VA detection trucks carry the equipment needed for most residential and light commercial leak searches.
You'll understand exactly where the leak is and what fixing it will involve before agreeing to anything.
The identified leak is repaired, or we connect you with our repair team, and the fix is tested to confirm the leak is resolved.
"Damp spot kept coming back after we patched it ourselves. Turned out the actual leak was three feet away, inside the wall." — Homeowner, Radford
"Thermal imaging found a hot water line leak we never would have located on our own." — Radford resident
"Appreciated that they explained the equipment and showed me the readings instead of just saying 'trust us.'" — Radford customer
