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 McHenry technicians use acoustic and thermal equipment to find them without tearing into walls or floors on a guess.
Detection equipment on every McHenry 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.
Every technician performing detection work carries full licensing and liability coverage.
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 McHenry, IL.
This method works well for pressurized supply line leaks that create a detectable sound signature.
A leak beneath a concrete slab is pinpointed using acoustic and thermal methods before any concrete is opened.
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.
Pressure testing and specialized equipment locate leaks in pool plumbing and irrigation lines that waste significant water.
We check for common culprits — running toilets, slab leaks, irrigation issues — starting with the most likely first.
A quick call gets a detection specialist scheduled, often same-day.
A technician arrives with acoustic and thermal detection equipment ready to survey the affected area.
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.

"Thermal imaging found a hot water line leak we never would have located on our own." — McHenry resident
"Kept the slab opening small because they found the exact spot first. Minimal mess." — McHenry customer
