Sacramento County · Detection
Non-invasive detection for hidden leaks inside walls, ceilings, and under floors.
The Lindgren Family in East Sacramento, Sacramento noticed discolored or bubbling paint on a wall or ceiling and wasn't sure how serious it was. Sacramento's hot, dry summers followed by wet winters create one of the more pronounced seasonal soil-moisture swings among the state's major metro areas, and combined with original cast-iron and galvanized plumbing still common in the city's older core neighborhoods, interior leaks here often coincide with the first heavy rains after a long dry stretch. The leak was marked in that same visit, and the repair crew only had to open a small section instead of the whole area.

Sacramento's hot, dry summers followed by wet winters create one of the more pronounced seasonal soil-moisture swings among the state's major metro areas, and combined with original cast-iron and galvanized plumbing still common in the city's older core neighborhoods, interior leaks here often coincide with the first heavy rains after a long dry stretch.
Water service in Sacramento is provided by the City of Sacramento Department of Utilities, and confirming whether an issue is on your private plumbing or the utility side of the meter is one of the first things we check.
Not every leak announces itself with a puddle. Many hidden water leaks develop slowly inside a wall cavity, under a cabinet, or above a ceiling, and are only noticed once staining, warped material, or a spike in the water bill shows up. Our general water leak detection service covers the full interior plumbing system: supply lines, fixture connections, water heaters, and any point where a line runs through a wall, floor, or ceiling.
We start with a whole-home pressure and usage check to confirm whether a leak exists, then use acoustic listening devices and moisture meters to trace it to a specific wall section, joist bay, or fixture, rather than opening multiple areas to search.

“Older home near Land Park with original cast iron. They explained the corrosion issue clearly and pointed to the exact section that needed attention instead of a vague 'somewhere in there.'”
“Appointment was easy to schedule and the technician was on time. Found the leak near our water heater connection within the hour.”
“The floor in our hallway had a warm spot for weeks. They found the slab leak in under an hour with the listening equipment and marked a tiny area instead of tearing up the whole hallway. Huge relief.”
“Our water bill jumped for two months straight and we couldn't find why. Turned out it was a slow leak behind the water heater. Professional, on time, and explained everything on the spot.”
“Salt air had corroded a fitting outside near the meter box. They traced it with the acoustic equipment without digging up my whole side yard first. Appreciated the straightforward report.”
