Get answers to common questions about our leak detection services in Los Altos.
Common indicators include: your water meter is moving when all fixtures are off, your water bill has increased without explanation, you hear water running inside walls or under the floor, you notice damp or warm spots on the floor, or you see mold/mildew appearing on walls without an obvious moisture source. Any one of these warrants a professional leak detection visit.
We use a combination of electronic amplification (listening devices that detect the acoustic signature of water escaping under pressure), thermal imaging cameras (which reveal temperature changes caused by water behind surfaces), and pressure isolation testing (which narrows the leak to a specific pipe zone). Together, these allow us to locate most leaks without opening walls or floors.
In experienced hands, electronic and acoustic leak detection is accurate to within 6–12 inches on buried or concealed pipes. We locate the leak precisely before recommending any access cuts or excavation — minimizing repair costs and damage to your Los Altos home.
A slab leak occurs when a water supply or drain pipe embedded in your concrete foundation fails. Signs include warm spots on the floor (hot water line leak), the sound of water running underfoot, cracks appearing in your slab or flooring, and high water bills. Slab leaks are common in Los Altos’s 1940s through 1960s homes where copper supply lines were embedded directly in the slab. We locate slab leaks non-invasively before any concrete is cut.
Once we’ve precisely located the leak, we provide a written repair quote. Depending on the location, repair options may include direct pipe repair, pipe rerouting to avoid the slab, or epoxy pipe lining. We explain all options and their trade-offs before any work begins — you’re always in control of the decision.
