“Our restaurant drains backed up on a Friday night. They came out after closing and jetted the lines – we opened on time Saturday.”

Leak Detection FAQ – Santa Barbara, CA

How do you find a leak without opening walls?

We use acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and pressure testing to locate the leak within inches before any cutting is done.

Is a small leak really a big deal?

A pinhole leak can waste thousands of gallons and cause mold and structural damage in a Santa Barbara home. Fixing it early is always cheaper.

Can you detect underground water line leaks?

Yes – we locate leaks in main water lines, irrigation supply lines and under slabs using ground microphones and tracer gas.

Does my water bill indicate a leak?

If the bill jumped with no change in use, check your meter with all water off. If it moves, call (888) 480-9811.
