(510) 810-2788Find the Leak Without Tearing Up Your Home
Not every leak is obvious. Slab leaks, in-wall pinholes, and underground line breaks often show up only as a high water bill, a warm spot on the floor, or the sound of running water with everything shut off. Our plumbers use acoustic sensors, pressure testing, and thermal tools to locate the leak precisely — before any wall or slab is opened.
Pinpoint detection means a smaller, smarter repair. Instead of guessing and cutting open drywall, we find the exact spot, show you what we found, and fix it with as little disruption to your home as possible.

Leaks We Track Down
Slab Leaks
Leaks in pipes under your foundation cause warm floors and high bills. We locate them without jackhammering blindly.
Hidden Wall & Ceiling Leaks
Pinhole leaks stain walls and breed mold. We find the source behind the surface, not just the stain.
Underground Line Leaks
A break in your water service line shows up as soggy yard spots. We locate and repair it precisely.
Fixture & Supply Leaks
Toilets, water heaters, and supply lines leak quietly. We test the whole system to find every source.

- The sound of running water when everything is off
- Warm or damp spots on floors, walls, or ceilings

— Rachel D., Piedmont"No tearing up walls — they pinpointed the leak and the repair was tiny. Impressive."
— Hector V., OaklandLeak Detection Services — Questions & Answers
How do you find a leak without breaking walls?
We use acoustic listening equipment, pressure testing, and thermal imaging to locate a leak precisely before opening anything — so the repair is small and targeted.
What is a slab leak?
It's a leak in a water line running beneath your home's concrete foundation. Signs include warm spots on the floor, an unexplained high water bill, and the sound of running water.
How do I know if my high water bill is from a leak?
If your usage habits haven't changed but the bill jumped, a hidden leak is the likely cause. We can test your system and confirm where the water is going.
Can a small leak really cause big damage?
Yes. A slow hidden leak can rot framing, ruin flooring, and grow mold for months before you see it. Early detection saves thousands in repairs.
Do you repair the leak too, or just locate it?
Both. We pinpoint the leak, show you what we found, repair it, and verify the system is leak-free before we leave.
