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 Alta technicians use acoustic and thermal equipment to find them without tearing into walls or floors on a guess.
We use listening equipment and thermal imaging to locate leaks through walls, floors, and slabs without demolition.
Locating the leak precisely keeps any necessary opening small and targeted rather than exploratory.
Our Alta, IA technicians are trained specifically on detection equipment, not just general plumbing repair.
We walk you through what the equipment found, not just hand you a bill.
These are the hidden leak scenarios we investigate most often across Alta, IA.
Listening equipment picks up the sound of water escaping under pressure, even through concrete or behind walls.
We narrow a slab leak to a specific small area rather than an entire room.
Thermal imaging is especially effective for detecting hot water line leaks inside walls.
Leaks inside wall cavities are traced to their source rather than just patching the visible stain or damage.
Underground irrigation and pool line leaks are diagnosed with the same precision as household leaks.
An unexplained increase in water usage gets investigated systematically to find the hidden cause.
Describe the symptoms to dispatch — a wet spot, a sound, or just a rising water bill all help narrow the search.
Our Alta, IA 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.

Sensitive listening equipment picks up the sound signature of pressurized water escaping through a crack or joint, even through concrete.
Detection pricing is quoted upfront when you call, and often applied toward the repair if you proceed with us.
In most cases, yes — detection equipment locates the leak before any cutting, so demolition is targeted and minimal.
Reduced water pressure combined with a rising bill is another common early indicator worth investigating.
