Leak Detection & Repair
Leak detection Cape Cod homeowners trust — find hidden leaks before they become expensive damage, then fix them with minimal disruption.
Hidden leaks are the most expensive plumbing problem on Cape Cod precisely because they’re hidden — a pinhole leak inside a wall can run for months, feeding mold and rotting framing before anyone notices. The warning signs are subtle: a water bill that creeps up, a faint musty smell, warm spots on a floor, the sound of water running when everything is off. We find leaks with electronic acoustic detection, thermal imaging, and pressure isolation testing — which means we locate the leak precisely before opening anything, instead of cutting exploratory holes in your walls. Once found, we repair the line, document everything with photos for your insurance claim, and pressure-test the system so you know it’s actually fixed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you find a leak without tearing open walls?
Acoustic listening equipment hears water escaping under pressure, thermal cameras see temperature differences behind drywall, and pressure-isolation testing narrows the leak to a specific section of pipe. We open the wall once — where the leak actually is.
How do I know if I have a hidden leak?
Shut off everything that uses water, then watch your water meter for 15 minutes. If it moves, water is going somewhere it shouldn’t. Combine that with a higher-than-normal bill or a musty smell and it’s time to call.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover the leak damage?
Most policies cover sudden water damage and the cost of locating the leak, but not the worn-out pipe itself. We provide the photo documentation, written diagnosis, and itemized invoice that insurance adjusters ask for.
What’s a slab leak and why is it serious?
It’s a leak in a pipe running under your concrete foundation. Left alone, it erodes the soil supporting the slab and can crack the foundation. Symptoms: warm floor spots, the sound of running water, and cracks appearing in flooring.
Should I repipe my whole house or just fix the leak?
One pinhole leak in copper pipe is a repair. The third pinhole leak in two years is a pattern — the pipe is failing from the inside, and repiping costs less than repeated repairs plus repeated water damage. We’ll show you the pipe condition and let the evidence decide.
