Plumbing leak detection
in Little Rock, AR

Your water bill keeps climbing but you're not using more water. You compare bills from the same months in past years and the current one is way higher. This usually means water is leaking somewhere constantly. Even a small leak that runs 24/7 adds up to hundreds or thousands of gallons wasted.

Your water meter doesn't stop moving. Go outside and check your water meter. Make sure nothing in your house is using water. No dishwasher running, no toilets filling, no one showering. If the meter is still spinning or the numbers are still changing, water is going somewhere. You've got a leak.

You hear the sound of running water but can't find the source. Late at night when the house is quiet, you hear water flowing through pipes. You check every faucet, every toilet, every fixture. Everything is off but you still hear it. That sound is water escaping from a pipe somewhere in your walls or under your house.

You see water stains on walls or ceilings. Brown or yellow spots that grow slowly over time. These stains usually show up below bathrooms or near plumbing. By the time the stain appears on your ceiling, water has been leaking above it for a while. The drywall soaked up water until it couldn't hold anymore and the stain broke through.

There are warm spots on your floor for no reason. If you have a slab foundation, hot water line leaks can create warm areas on your floor. You feel the warmth through the tile or carpet. This tells you hot water is leaking under your slab.

Your foundation has cracks or your floors are uneven. Underground leaks can wash away soil under your foundation. This causes the foundation to settle unevenly. You might see new cracks in walls, doors that stick, or floors that slope when they used to be level.

You have wet spots in your yard that won't dry up. Patches of grass that stay soggy days after rain. Green spots that grow faster than the rest of your lawn because they're getting extra water. Puddles that form when it hasn't rained. These point to underground water line leaks.

You smell mold or mildew inside your house. The smell is strongest near certain walls or in certain rooms. You check for obvious water sources but can't find any. Hidden leaks create moisture inside walls where mold grows. The smell is often the first sign you notice.

Finding leaks early prevents massive damage. Water leaking inside walls destroys drywall, ruins insulation, and rots wood framing. It creates perfect conditions for mold that makes people sick. The longer a leak runs, the worse the damage gets. Catching it early means less destruction and cheaper repairs.

Leak detection saves you money on water bills. That hidden leak costs you real money every single month. Once we find it and fix it, your bill drops back to normal. We've helped customers save $100 or more per month after finding leaks they didn't know existed.

Underground leak detection saves your yard and foundation. Without detection equipment, finding an underground leak means digging up large sections of your yard hoping to stumble onto the broken pipe. With detection, we pinpoint the leak location. We dig one small hole right where the problem is, fix it, and fill it back in. Your yard doesn't look like a construction zone.

Early detection protects your foundation. Water leaking under your house erodes soil and causes settling. This leads to foundation cracks, wall cracks, and structural problems that cost tens of thousands to repair. Finding and fixing the leak before this happens saves your foundation.

When we detect leaks, we use different tools depending on what we're looking for. For leaks inside walls, we use moisture meters that measure water content in building materials. We can find wet spots behind drywall without cutting holes everywhere. We use infrared cameras that show temperature differences. Wet areas show up cooler than dry areas on the thermal image.

For listening to leaks, we use acoustic detection equipment. Water escaping from a pressurized pipe makes a specific sound. Our equipment amplifies this sound so we can hear it through concrete, dirt, and other materials. We trace along the pipe path listening for the leak signature. When we find it, we mark the exact spot.

For slab leaks under concrete foundations, we sometimes use helium or hydrogen detection. We introduce a safe tracer gas into the water line, then use sensors to detect where the gas escapes through the slab. This pinpoints leaks under concrete without breaking up your floor.

We also do simple tests that catch obvious problems fast. We check your water meter before and after shutting off your main valve. We isolate different sections of plumbing to narrow down where the leak is. We pressure test lines to see if they hold pressure or if it drops, indicating a leak.

When you call us about a leak, we ask where you're seeing signs of water. This helps us know what tools to bring. Some leaks are obvious and easy to find. Others need special equipment to locate.

If you have an active leak that's causing damage right now, we walk you through shutting off the water while we're on the way. For a leak under a sink, turn off the valves under that sink. For a bigger leak, shut off your main water line. We get to you as fast as we can.

When we arrive, we inspect the problem area first. If the leak is visible, we can usually fix it quickly. If it's hidden, we use different methods to find it. We might use moisture meters to detect water inside walls. We check your water meter to see if it's spinning when nothing is running. For underground leaks, we use acoustic listening equipment that picks up the sound of water escaping from pipes.

Once we find the leak, we explain what's wrong and what it'll take to fix it. Sometimes we need to cut into drywall to reach a pipe. We make the smallest opening possible to do the repair. We fix the pipe, test it to make sure the leak is completely stopped, then patch the hole we made.

For supply line leaks, we shut off water to that section, cut out the damaged pipe, and replace it. We use the best materials for your situation. We test the repair under pressure before we close everything up. You don't want to fix a wall just to have the pipe leak again.

For drain leaks, we replace the leaking section and make sure it slopes correctly. Drain pipes need the right slope or they'll clog and leak again. We test drain repairs by running water through them and checking for any seepage.

We clean up our work area when we're done. We haul away any damaged pipe or materials. We test everything one more time to be absolutely sure the leak is fixed. We want you confident that the problem is solved, not just patched temporarily.

We've been fixing plumbing problems across Little Rock long enough to know what matters to homeowners. You want someone who shows up on time, doesn't try to sell you things you don't need, and fixes the problem right the first time.

We handle everything from plumbing repairs to complex remodeling projects. Whether you need emergency plumbing for a burst pipe, drainage service to clear a backed-up sewer line, gas installation service for a new appliance, or leak detection to find a hidden problem, we've done it hundreds of times. We work on water heaters, remodel bathrooms and kitchens, install and repair fixtures, and handle all the general plumbing work that comes up in older homes and new construction alike.

The difference is how we do the work. We show up when we say we will. Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm, we're available to help. We explain what's wrong in plain language. We don't use scare tactics or push unnecessary repairs. We give you options with honest prices and let you decide what makes sense for your situation and budget.

We do things by the book because cutting corners costs you more in the long run. We're licensed for everything we do, including gas work that some plumbers won't touch.
