Hidden Water Leak Detection in New Brunswick, NJ
Pinpoint leaks behind walls, under floors, and above ceilings without destroying your property.
Finding the Invisible Source
When you have a high water bill or damp drywall but no visible dripping pipe, you are dealing with a hidden water leak. In many older New Brunswick homes, plumbing runs behind plaster walls, beneath finished basement ceilings, or under concrete slabs. Tearing these areas apart based on a guess is an expensive mistake.
Our water leak detection New Brunswick NJ service uses non-invasive methods to find the exact location of the leak before a single hole is cut. Water can travel surprisingly far along framing and pipes from the actual break before showing up as a stain on your ceiling.
Our Diagnostic Process
- Acoustic Listening: Highly sensitive ultrasonic equipment allows us to "hear" the exact frequency of pressurized water escaping a pipe behind drywall or under concrete.
- Thermal Imaging: Infrared cameras detect subtle temperature anomalies caused by moisture accumulation, tracking the path of the water back to the source.
- Moisture Mapping: Deep-penetrating moisture meters outline the true extent of water spread inside structural cavities.
- Pressure Testing: Isolating hot and cold lines to determine which system has lost integrity.
