How a leak detection visit works in Connelly Springs
- Prove there is a leakMeter isolation tells us whether water is escaping and roughly how fast, before anyone starts opening things up.
- Split supply from drainA pressure test on the supply side separates a pressurized leak from a drain or roof issue - they look identical from the ceiling stain.
- Listen and imageAcoustic equipment finds pressurized leaks under Connelly Springs slabs and behind tile; thermal imaging maps the wet area.
- Mark the spotWe mark the exact point and show you before any cutting is authorized.
- Repair or rerouteSpot repair where access is reasonable, reroute overhead where a slab repair would cost more than it is worth.
What the job includes
- Meter isolation test to confirm a leak exists
- Acoustic listening on pressurized lines
- Thermal imaging across slabs, walls and ceilings
- Line tracing and depth marking for underground runs
- Static pressure test to separate supply from drainage leaks
- A marked location and a repair quote in the same visit

Leak Detection reviews from Connelly Springs
Whole house repipe. Four days, minimal mess, and they patched every opening they cut. Water pressure is better than it has been since we bought the place.
Nadia F.Connelly Springs, NCThird plumber we tried and the first one who actually found the leak. Used listening equipment, marked a spot on the floor, cut one small opening, and there it was. Everyone else wanted to start opening walls.
Priya N.Connelly Springs, NCWater heater died the day before we had family arriving. They got a new one in the same afternoon, took the old one away, and fixed the venting that had apparently never been right. Would use again without thinking about it.
Greg W.Connelly Springs, NCLeak Detection in Connelly Springs: common questions
How accurate is slab leak detection?
On a typical Connelly Springs slab we normally get within a foot or so, which is the difference between one small opening and a room of broken concrete.
What does leak detection cost in Connelly Springs?
Most residential detection in Connelly Springs runs $250 to $525 depending on square footage and how much of the system has to be isolated. The fee is credited against the repair when we do the work.
My bill doubled but I see no water. Where is it going?
Under a slab, into the ground on the service line, or through a running toilet flapper. We test all three - and the toilet is the cheapest possibility, so we check it first.
Can you find a leak under concrete or landscaping?
Yes. Line tracing and correlation equipment work through concrete, soil and pavers, and we mark depth as well as position.
Should I repair the slab leak or repipe?
One failure in a young system is a spot repair. Repeated pinholes in the same Connelly Springs house usually mean the pipe is failing everywhere and a repipe is the cheaper answer over five years.
