We specialize in non-invasive slab leak detection, using advanced, proven technology to pinpoint the exact source of leaks under your foundation. We find the problem without the destructive guesswork, saving you time, money, and the stress of unnecessary property damage.

Our Method: Precision Without Demolition

Forget the "search-and-destroy" methods. Our trained specialists in non-invasive detection use state-of-the-art equipment to find leaks with surgical precision. Our technology includes:

• Acoustic Sensors: We use highly sensitive electronic listening devices to "hear" the distinct sound of water escaping from a pipe under your concrete slab.
• Thermal Imaging: Infrared cameras allow our technicians to "see" temperature differences in your flooring, often revealing the exact path of a hidden hot water leak.
• Line Tracing: We can electronically trace the path of your hidden plumbing to create a map of your system.
• Pressure Testing: We can test the integrity of your entire plumbing system to confirm a leak exists and isolate it to a specific line.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most common cause of slab leaks in Boise? 

Slab leaks often result from plumbing failures, but in Boise, our unique soil and climate are major factors. The fluctuating soil moisture and freeze-thaw cycles can cause the ground to shift, putting stress on the pipes under your foundation and leading to cracks.

How are slab leaks detected without damaging my floors?

We use a combination of non-invasive technologies. We can often hear the leak with acoustic sensors or see its heat signature with an infrared camera, allowing us to map the leak's location without any digging or drilling.

Can a small slab leak really damage my foundation? 

Yes, absolutely. Over time, even a small leak can saturate and erode the soil supporting your foundation. This can cause the slab to "heave" or settle, leading to cracks in your foundation and walls, which are extremely expensive to repair.

How long does a slab leak detection visit take? 

Most slab leak detection appointments are completed within a few hours. This allows our technicians time to perform a thorough assessment using our specialized equipment and provide you with a clear, detailed report of the findings.
