Advanced Leak Detection: How We Find Hidden Plumbing Problems

Locating a hidden plumbing leak can feel like solving a mystery with only a few vague clues. That’s where experience, training, and the right technology come into play. At Aqueduct Plumbing Services, our licensed professionals use proven methods and state-of-the-art tools to identify leaks quickly, accurately, and with minimal disruption to your home.

Whether a leak is hidden behind walls, beneath concrete slabs, or running through your yard, we approach every situation with precision and care. Here’s how our process works:

• Advanced Diagnostic Equipment: We utilize specialized tools, such as thermal imaging cameras, to detect temperature differences that indicate moisture accumulation within walls or ceilings. In combination with acoustic listening devices, we can pick up even the faintest sounds of water escaping from pressurized pipes, allowing us to locate the exact source without damaging your property.
• System Pressure Testing: By isolating zones within your plumbing system and monitoring for pressure drops, we can identify which section of pipe is losing water and begin narrowing down the potential leak location. This method is especially useful when leaks are not visible but are causing noticeable effects, like reduced water flow or high water bills.
• Non-Invasive Dye Testing: For leaks in hard-to-reach systems, such as swimming pools, toilets, or underground piping, we may introduce non-toxic tracing dyes into the water supply. These dyes help us visually confirm where water is exiting the system and assist in pinpointing complex or slow leaks with accuracy.
• In-Pipe Camera Inspections: Our high-resolution plumbing cameras are inserted directly into your pipes to give us a real-time view of the interior. These inspections not only reveal active leaks but also help us spot early signs of corrosion, cracks, or root intrusion, allowing you to prevent future issues before they escalate.

Every step of our leak detection process is designed to minimize disruption, protect your property, and prevent further damage. With us on your side, hidden leaks won’t stay hidden for long!
