Hidden water leaks can waste thousands of gallons per month, damage your home's structure, and create conditions for mold growth -- all before you notice anything is wrong. A running toilet can waste 200 gallons per day. A slab leak can undermine your foundation.
Peerless Plumbing Company uses advanced leak detection technology including acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging cameras, and electronic leak detection equipment to pinpoint hidden leaks without tearing open walls or floors.
Leak detection service costs $200-$500 depending on the complexity. Simple detection (finding the source of a visible leak) runs $200-$300. Slab leak detection with electronic equipment costs $300-$500. The detection fee is typically applied toward the repair cost.
Common hidden leak locations include slab foundations, behind walls, under floors, at pipe joints, around water heaters, and at hose bibs. If your water bill has increased without explanation, you may have a hidden leak.

Our Process
Initial Assessment
We review your water meter readings, check for visible signs of leaks, and discuss any symptoms you have noticed (high bills, damp spots, sounds).
Electronic Detection
Using acoustic and electronic equipment, we systematically scan your plumbing system to pinpoint the exact leak location.
Verification
We confirm the leak location with thermal imaging and visual inspection. You receive a detailed report with the leak location marked.
Repair Options
We present repair options with pricing. For slab leaks, this may include spot repair, pipe reroute, or full repipe depending on pipe condition.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does leak detection cost?
Leak detection costs $200-$500. Simple leak location runs $200-$300. Slab leak detection with electronic equipment costs $300-$500. The fee is typically applied toward repair costs.
How do I know if I have a hidden leak?
Warning signs: unexplained water bill increase, water meter spinning when nothing is running, damp spots on floors or walls, musty odor, warm spots on the floor (hot water leak), or foundation cracks.
Can you detect leaks without breaking walls?
Yes. Our acoustic and electronic detection equipment can pinpoint leaks through walls, floors, and concrete slabs without destructive exploration. We only open access points when needed for repair.
What causes slab leaks?
Slab leaks are caused by pipe corrosion, shifting foundation soil, poor installation, abrasion from pipe rubbing against concrete, and chemical reactions between copper pipe and soil.
How serious is a slab leak?
Very serious. A slab leak can undermine your foundation, cause mold growth, damage flooring, and waste enormous amounts of water. Address slab leaks immediately to prevent structural damage.
Can leak detection find small leaks?
Yes. Our equipment can detect leaks as small as a pinhole. Even small leaks waste hundreds of gallons per month and cause progressive damage if left unaddressed.
