Find and Fix Hidden Leaks Before They Cause Damage

Even a small plumbing leak can lead to major problems like water damage, mold growth, and increased utility costs if not detected early. Clovis Plumbing provides precise, non-invasive leak detection services to locate problems quickly—whether they’re behind walls, beneath floors, or underground—without unnecessary disruption to your home.

Our plumbers have years of expertise in pinpointing the source of leaks and recommending the best repair options for lasting protection. From early detection to final repair, we’re committed to delivering dependable service and giving you confidence in your plumbing system.

Why Professional Leak Detection Matters

Even a small plumbing leak can cause serious damage if left unaddressed. What starts as a minor drip can quickly escalate into major issues such as:
  • Wood rot that weakens walls, flooring, and structural supports
  • Foundation damage from prolonged water exposure
  • Mold and mildew growth that impacts indoor air quality and health
  • Wasted water and higher utility bills over time
DIY fixes might mask the problem temporarily but rarely address the source of the leak. Professional leak detection from Clovis Plumbing ensures hidden leaks are accurately located and repaired correctly the first time.

Our Leak Detection Services

Our team uses advanced, non-invasive tools and proven methods to locate leaks quickly and accurately. Each detection technique is selected based on your home’s plumbing layout, the type of leak, and its location within your system.

Acoustic Leak Detection

Using sensitive listening equipment, we detect the sound of water escaping from pipes. This allows us to locate hidden leaks precisely without digging or demolition.

Thermal Imaging

Infrared cameras help us identify temperature differences caused by moisture or escaping water. This method is especially effective for detecting leaks under concrete slabs, behind drywall, or in ceiling spaces.

Moisture Meter Testing

We use moisture meters to measure humidity and detect dampness. This technique helps confirm the presence of leaks and assess the extent of hidden water damage.

Pressure Testing

By testing your water pressure levels, we can determine whether there’s a drop indicating a hidden leak. This method is ideal for identifying small leaks in water supply lines or plumbing systems that are otherwise difficult to access.

Common Sources of Leaks

Leaks can form anywhere in your plumbing system and often start small before becoming noticeable. Some of the most common sources of plumbing leaks include:

  • Worn-out seals or washers around faucets and fixtures
  • Deteriorated pipe joints that loosen or corrode with age
  • Slab leaks beneath your foundation caused by shifting soil or pressure changes
  • Cracked or damaged underground water lines due to freezing or ground movement

Understanding where leaks commonly occur can help you spot early warning signs and schedule repairs before they escalate. Staying proactive keeps your plumbing system efficient and helps you avoid unexpected disruptions.

Signs You May Have a Plumbing Leak

Catching a leak early can make all the difference in avoiding water damage and costly repairs. If you notice any of the following warning signs, contact Clovis Plumbing for a professional inspection:

  • Water stains on walls or ceilings
  • Mold or mildew growth
