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.
We use listening equipment and thermal imaging to locate leaks through walls, floors, and slabs without demolition.
We find the leak before recommending any repair scope, which keeps costs and disruption down.
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.
This method works well for pressurized supply line leaks that create a detectable sound signature.
A leak beneath a concrete slab is pinpointed using acoustic and thermal methods before any concrete is opened.
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.
Underground irrigation and pool line leaks are diagnosed with the same precision as household leaks.
We check for common culprits — running toilets, slab leaks, irrigation issues — starting with the most likely first.
A quick call gets a detection specialist scheduled, often same-day.
Our Great Lakes, IL detection trucks carry the equipment needed for most residential and light commercial leak searches.
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.
"Damp spot kept coming back after we patched it ourselves. Turned out the actual leak was three feet away, inside the wall." — Homeowner, Great Lakes
"Thermal imaging found a hot water line leak we never would have located on our own." — Great Lakes resident
"Kept the slab opening small because they found the exact spot first. Minimal mess." — Great Lakes customer
We serve Great Lakes proper and nearby Great Lakes, IL communities for acoustic and thermal leak detection.
Sensitive listening equipment picks up the sound signature of pressurized water escaping through a crack or joint, even through concrete.
Ask dispatch for current detection pricing — it's disclosed before scheduling.
In most cases, yes — detection equipment locates the leak before any cutting, so demolition is targeted and minimal.
An unexplained water bill increase, warm spots on the floor, or the sound of running water when everything's off are common signs.
Yes, we perform pressure testing and detection on pool plumbing and irrigation lines, not just household supply lines.
