How a leak detection visit works in Peletier
- 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 Peletier 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 Peletier
Our main line backed up into the downstairs shower on a Saturday. They cleared it, then put a camera down and showed me the roots coming in at a joint about thirty feet out. No pressure to do the repair that day, just the footage and a quote. Booked it for the following week.
Tanya R.Peletier, NCGarbage disposal was humming and I assumed it was dead. Turned out to be a jam plus a partly blocked trap arm. Cleared both, no new unit needed. Appreciated the honesty.
Kevin T.Peletier, NCFrozen pipe split in the crawlspace during that cold snap. They thawed it, replaced the section, and then insulated the run so it should not happen again. Explained everything as they went.
Lauren K.Peletier, NCLeak Detection in Peletier: common questions
How accurate is slab leak detection?
On a typical Peletier 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 Peletier?
Most residential detection in Peletier 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 Peletier house usually mean the pipe is failing everywhere and a repipe is the cheaper answer over five years.
