Leak Detection & Slab Leak Repair

Leak Detection Salisbury Property Owners Call On

A hidden leak wastes water and can feed mold inside walls, under floors and in crawl spaces long before you see a stain. A high water bill with no change in habits is often the first clue.

Professional leak detection finds the source without opening more of the house than necessary. Call (410) 968-5894 to talk through what you have noticed.

Acoustic Leak Detection, Thermal Imaging and Pressure Tests

We start with a water meter test: with every fixture off, a moving meter confirms a leak. On a private well there is no city meter, so a pump that keeps kicking on with every tap closed is the clue instead. Acoustic leak detection listens for water escaping under pressure, thermal imaging shows warm or cool patches from hot and cold lines, and a pressure test isolates the failing section.

Together they narrow the search to a small area.

Signs of Slab Leak and Pinhole Leaks in Salisbury, MD

Signs of slab leak include warm spots on the floor, the sound of running water when everything is off, cracks in flooring and damp carpet with no obvious source. Slab leak repair may mean a spot repair through the slab or rerouting the line. On well water, Eastern Shore groundwater tends to be acidic, around pH 6.5, and low-pH water can eat through copper pipe as pinhole leaks.

High Water Bill Leak? Do a Meter Test

Turn off every tap and water-using appliance, then watch the water meter for 15 minutes. If the dial moves, water is leaving the system somewhere. City code bars new underground irrigation from tying into city water, so a moving meter usually points to the house plumbing or service line; if an older system is connected, shut it off too.

Then call (410) 968-5894 with what you found so leak detection can start in the right place.

Why Hidden Leaks Matter

Water under a slab or inside a wall can soak insulation, rot framing and create a mold risk long before it becomes visible. Near the Wicomico River, where tidal flooding reaches low parts of downtown, and anywhere the water table sits high, damp ground can hide or mimic a leak. A meter or pressure test settles it before anyone opens a floor or digs.
