Hidden Leak Detection in Sorrento and Mount Plymouth
Sorrento, Mount Plymouth, and Heathrow Country Estates often have longer pipe runs, irrigation tap-ins, and a mix of well and municipal water. A silent leak can dump thousands of gallons into sand before you see a puddle. Leak detection is how you stop paying for water you never used, and how you avoid tearing up the wrong part of a new driveway.
Clues you shouldn’t ignore
- •Unexplained jump in the water bill or well pump runtime
- •Warm spots on a slab or the sound of water with everything off
- •Low pressure in one wing of the house
- •Soft ground or extra-green strips in the yard
How we locate without demolition first
Listening devices, cameras where appropriate, and isolation tests tell us which zone is leaking. Then we open only what we must. Insurance often wants a written finding, we provide clear reports.
Long runs and irrigation taps
Country lots hide long buried lines and tees for irrigation. A leak past the meter but before the house can look like a mystery bill with dry floors. We isolate house, irrigation, and well so we are not digging the wrong hundred feet.
What you can check before we arrive
Shut off irrigation. Note whether the meter moves with all fixtures off. Listen at night. Do not start trenching. Photos of wet spots and the meter help us plan tools.
After we find it
Repair can be a coupling in a small pit, a reroute around a slab, or a section of new pipe. We quote the locate and the repair as separate decisions when that is fairer for you.
Frequently asked questions
Do you find leaks under slabs?
Yes. We use acoustic and other locating methods to pinpoint slab and underground leaks before opening floors or yards.
My water bill jumped but I don’t see a leak. Now what?
Check the meter with all fixtures off. If it still moves, you have a leak. We locate it, toilet flappers, underground lines, or slab.
