A hidden leak usually shows up as small signs instead of a puddle, like a bill that's higher than it should be, a warm spot on the kitchen floor, or the sound of water running with every tap shut. In a slab home in Carlton Hills or Sky Ranch, the leak could be under the concrete, inside a wall, or out in the irrigation, and the signs alone don't say which.
That's what leak detection is for. From job to job, the licensed contractor works out the method, with tools like listening equipment, thermal imaging and pressure testing that can narrow a leak down to a smaller area.
If there's a leak, you'll hear what was found and your repair options in plain English, including ones that don't involve opening the slab. If the equipment finds nothing, that's good news too, and the high bill may point somewhere simpler, like a running toilet.
