What You Get With Slab Leak Detection Near You
Seven checks, in order, from proving the leak to marking it. This is what slab leak detection near you includes.
Meter and leak-dial check
Every fixture off, then the meter dial is watched. Movement with the house silent means water is going somewhere it shouldn't.
15-minute pressure-gauge test
A gauge goes on a hose bib and the supply is shut. Any drop in pressure confirms a leak that is too small for the meter to show.
Hot or cold isolation
The water heater supply is closed to see which side is leaking. Hot leaks warm the floor; cold ones do not, which is why they need this step.
Branch isolation
Lines are separated and tested one at a time, so the search is limited to the pipe that is actually losing water.
Acoustic pinpointing
Ground microphones listen through tile, carpet and concrete for the sound of water escaping under pressure.
Thermal imaging
On hot lines, a thermal camera shows the heat bloom where water is spreading under the slab.
Marked location and options
The leak point is marked on the floor, and the realistic ways to fix it are explained before anyone quotes a repair.

The Equipment That Finds It
Water meter & leak dial
The first proof. A turning dial with every fixture off means water is escaping.
Pressure gauge
Fitted to an outside tap for about fifteen minutes. Any drop confirms a leak.
Acoustic ground mic
Listens through tile and concrete for water escaping under pressure.
Thermal camera
Shows the warm trail of a leaking hot line under the floor.
What the Work Looks Like
Thermal imaging
Hot-water leaks show up as a heat trail through the floor.
Pressure test
A gauge on an outside tap confirms leaks too small for the meter.
Meter check
The leak dial is the first and simplest proof.
Problems Slab Leak Detection Solves
Water bill jumped
A bill that doubled with no change in use. Bills of $300 to $750 are what usually send people looking.
Meter moving, taps off
The leak dial on your water meter keeps turning with every fixture off.
Warm spot on the floor
A patch of tile or carpet that feels warm underfoot, often near the kitchen, a bathroom or the water heater.
Sound of running water
Water running in the walls or under the floor when nobody is using any.
Water heater never rests
The heater keeps firing because hot water is leaking away under the slab.
Hot water runs out fast
Showers going cold sooner than they used to.

How do plumbers detect a slab leak?
They prove it first with the water meter and a pressure gauge, isolate the hot and cold sides, then pinpoint it with acoustic listening and, on hot lines, thermal imaging.
Can you have a slab leak and not know it?
Yes. Cold-water leaks give no warm spot, and small ones barely move the meter. A pressure-gauge test catches leaks too small to see any other way.
How long can a slab leak go undetected?
Months, sometimes longer, when the water drains into the soil instead of coming up through the floor. A rising bill is often the only clue.
Is a slab leak an emergency?
It is urgent rather than a same-hour emergency, unless water is coming up through the floor. The leak runs day and night, so book detection within days, not weeks.
How do you find a cold water leak under a slab?
Cold leaks do not warm the floor, so thermal cameras miss them. They are found by isolating each line and listening acoustically along the run.
