How We Find Slab Leaks
We use the latest tools and techniques to ensure we can detect and repair slab leaks of all sizes—without damaging your home.
Here is just some of the equipment we have on hand:
- Electromagnetic pipeline locators: Electron signals enable our plumbers to locate and detect leaks beneath concrete slabs.
- Electronic amplification equipment: These tools use sensitive sound sensors to locate spraying or dripping water.
- Gas tracer systems: This equipment uses individual probes to detect deep leaks that listening equipment can’t locate.
- Infrared cameras: Infrared cameras use temperature variations to locate leaks in walls and beneath the concrete.
