An unexplained spike on the water bill, a damp patch on the floor with no obvious source, or the faint sound of running water somewhere in the walls — hidden leaks are frustrating precisely because you can't see them. Our Colfax technicians use acoustic and thermal equipment to find them without tearing into walls or floors on a guess.
Detection equipment on every Colfax truck means we don't have to guess and open drywall speculatively.
Locating the leak precisely keeps any necessary opening small and targeted rather than exploratory.
Our Colfax, IA technicians are trained specifically on detection equipment, not just general plumbing repair.
You'll see or hear the detection results and understand exactly where the leak is before deciding on repair.
These are the hidden leak scenarios we investigate most often across Colfax, IA.
This method works well for pressurized supply line leaks that create a detectable sound signature.
We narrow a slab leak to a specific small area rather than an entire room.
Thermal imaging is especially effective for detecting hot water line leaks inside walls.
We locate the actual leak point, which is often not directly behind the visible water stain.
Underground irrigation and pool line leaks are diagnosed with the same precision as household leaks.
An unexplained increase in water usage gets investigated systematically to find the hidden cause.
Describe the symptoms to dispatch — a wet spot, a sound, or just a rising water bill all help narrow the search.
Our Colfax, IA detection trucks carry the equipment needed for most residential and light commercial leak searches.
You'll understand exactly where the leak is and what fixing it will involve before agreeing to anything.
The identified leak is repaired, or we connect you with our repair team, and the fix is tested to confirm the leak is resolved.
