Advanced Leak Detection Technology

At Plumbing Detectives, we use a combination of thermal imaging and sonar (acoustic) leak detection to pinpoint leaks with precision:

  • Thermal Imaging: Detects temperature differences in surfaces caused by moisture. Ideal for finding leaks in walls, ceilings, and finished spaces.
  • Sonar Leak Detection: Uses acoustic listening devices to locate the sound of escaping water. Especially effective for underground and slab leaks.

By using both technologies, we ensure minimal disruption and maximum accuracy — helping you avoid unnecessary damage to your home.
