An unexplained spike on the water bill, a damp patch on the floor with no obvious source, or the faint sound of running water somewhere in the walls — hidden leaks are frustrating precisely because you can't see them. Our Great Lakes technicians use acoustic and thermal equipment to find them without tearing into walls or floors on a guess.
Detection equipment on every Great Lakes truck means we don't have to guess and open drywall speculatively.
Locating the leak precisely keeps any necessary opening small and targeted rather than exploratory.
Every technician performing detection work carries full licensing and liability coverage.
You'll see or hear the detection results and understand exactly where the leak is before deciding on repair.
From a rising water bill with no visible cause to a damp spot that keeps returning, we locate the source before recommending repair.
Listening equipment picks up the sound of water escaping under pressure, even through concrete or behind walls.
We narrow a slab leak to a specific small area rather than an entire room.
Infrared imaging reveals temperature differences caused by escaping hot or cold water behind walls and under floors.
Leaks inside wall cavities are traced to their source rather than just patching the visible stain or damage.
Pressure testing and specialized equipment locate leaks in pool plumbing and irrigation lines that waste significant water.
An unexplained increase in water usage gets investigated systematically to find the hidden cause.
A quick call gets a detection specialist scheduled, often same-day.
A technician arrives with acoustic and thermal detection equipment ready to survey the affected area.
You'll understand exactly where the leak is and what fixing it will involve before agreeing to anything.
The identified leak is repaired, or we connect you with our repair team, and the fix is tested to confirm the leak is resolved.

Our goal is always to find the leak first, keeping any necessary opening as small as possible.
Reduced water pressure combined with a rising bill is another common early indicator worth investigating.
