What Is Electronic Leak Detection?
Electronic leak detection uses specialized equipment to find leaks without opening walls or slab by default. Acoustic sensors listen for the sound of escaping water; thermal imaging can show temperature differences from leaking water; electromagnetic and other tools help locate pipes and pinpoint leaks in slabs and underground lines. This reduces cost and disruption for Orange County homeowners.

Our Electronic Leak Detection Process
Meter & Pressure Baseline
We read your water meter and perform a static pressure test to confirm a leak exists and estimate its severity before deploying detection equipment.
Acoustic & Thermal Scanning
Sensitive ground microphones and thermal cameras are used to trace the sound and heat signature of escaping water through your slab, walls, or yard.
Electromagnetic Line Tracing
For deeper or more complex piping layouts, we use electromagnetic locators to map pipe paths and narrow the leak zone to within inches.
Findings Report & Repair Plan
You receive a clear explanation of the leak location, affected pipe material, and recommended repair options—complete with upfront pricing—so you can make an informed decision.
What's Included
- Acoustic, thermal, and electromagnetic leak detection
- No unnecessary demolition to find the leak
- Clear report and repair recommendation
- Available for walls, slabs, and underground lines
Costs & Timelines — What to Expect
Detection is typically a set fee based on the type of survey (e.g., slab, wall, underground). We quote the detection service upfront. Repair is quoted separately after we know the leak location and best method.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
We use industry-standard leak detection equipment: acoustic correlators and listening devices, thermal imaging cameras, and electromagnetic pipe and leak locators. This allows us to find leaks in copper, PEX, and other materials in walls, under slabs, and underground.
Leak detection is performed by our trained technicians. Any subsequent repair is done by our licensed crews (license #1142923) to current code. We are insured through Nautilus.
Risks of Waiting
- Undetected leaks waste water and drive up bills
- Hidden leaks can cause mold and structural damage over time
- Locating the leak first reduces repair cost and disruption
