How To Detect A Water Leak
Professional leak detection companies use advanced technology and refined methods to locate leaks quickly and without unnecessary destruction to your property. At AquaPhoenix Builders, we detect leaks behind walls, under concrete slabs, in pipes, and even underground, ensuring no leak goes unnoticed.
Here are the common techniques we use:
- Thermal Imaging : Using infrared cameras, we can detect temperature differences in walls, floors, and ceilings that suggest hidden moisture and leaks.
- Moisture Meters: These tools measure moisture levels in materials like drywall and wood. Elevated readings often point to an active leak nearby.
- Pressure Testing: We isolate plumbing sections and pressurize them with water or air to check for drops that indicate a hidden leak.
- A coustic Leak Detection: With specialized listening equipment, our technicians can hear water escaping from pressurized pipes—even behind walls or beneath the floor—helping us zero in on the source.
What Are the Warning Signs of a Leak?
Not sure if you have a leak? Here are common warning signs that may indicate hidden water damage on your property:
- Water Staining: Look for water stains on ceilings, walls, or flooring, especially under sinks or near water-based appliances.
- Unusual Water Usage: An unexplained spike in your water bill or meter readings can signal a hidden leak.
- Acoustic Noises: Hearing hissing, dripping, or running water when no appliances are in use may point to a leak inside walls or floors.
- Damp & Musty Odors: A persistent musty smell—especially in basements or crawl spaces—is often a sign of hidden moisture.
- Mold Growth: Mold appearing around baseboards, ceilings, or under sinks could be the result of a leak you can't see.
If you notice any of these symptoms, don't wait. Contact a local leak detection company like AquaPhoenix Builders before the damage gets worse.

How Much Does It Cost To Detect A Water Leak?
The cost to detect a water leak can range from $100 to $1,000, depending on the type and location of the leak. For example, a slab leak is typically more difficult (and expensive) to detect than a wall or ceiling leak. Your homeowners' insurance may cover leak detection costs, especially if the damage was sudden or accidental. We're happy to provide all necessary documentation and readings for your claim.
