Leak Detection in Rowlett

"My water bill went up and I don't know why." "I hear water running somewhere but every faucet is off." "There's a damp patch and I can't find the source." Any of those is a leak detection call, whether the leak turns out to be a slab leak, a slow drip inside a wall, or a worn fitting under a fixture.

Electronic acoustic equipment picks up the specific sound of water escaping a pressurized line, and a correlator cross-references two listening points to narrow the location to a small area before any material is removed. For a suspected slab leak specifically, this is the same method covered in more depth on our slab leak page.

A meter test is the fastest first check. With every fixture off, a moving leak-indicator dial confirms real water loss somewhere in the system, which tells us where to start listening even before a technician arrives on site.

For a leak inside a wall or under a slab, acoustic tracing usually narrows the location closely enough on its own. For a suspected leak along a longer service line, or when acoustic results are inconclusive because of ambient noise or a busy street nearby, a sewer or water line camera can confirm the exact condition of the pipe visually rather than relying on sound alone. We only add a camera inspection when it genuinely changes the diagnosis, not as a standard upsell on every call.
