How Our Leak Detection Services Work

Our team's process for leak detection services starts with a thorough inspection of your property. This is where most teams fail: they just look for the obvious signs of water damage, but our technicians take the time to look for the subtle clues that show a hidden leak. We use specialized equipment to detect moisture and water vapor, and we'll even use thermal imaging cameras to spot hidden leaks behind walls and ceilings. This is why our customers trust us to detect even the smallest leaks, and why we're often called in to help insurance companies resolve disputed claims.

Step 1: Initial Assessment and Inspection

Our crew will arrive at your home within 60 minutes of your initial call, equipped with the latest tools and technology to detect hidden leaks.

We'll also use specialized moisture detectors to identify areas of high humidity or water vapor.

Step 2: Moisture Detection and Testing

Using advanced moisture detection equipment, our technicians will scan your home for areas of high moisture content. This is where the subtlety of our approach really shines: most teams will just look for obvious signs of water damage, but our crew will detect the subtle changes in moisture levels that show a hidden leak. We'll also use thermal imaging cameras to spot hidden leaks behind walls and ceilings.

Step 3: Leak Detection and Identification

Once we've identified the source of the leak, our crew will use specialized equipment to pinpoint the exact location of the leak. We'll use a combination of visual inspection, moisture detection, and thermal imaging to confirm the presence of a leak and find out its severity.

Step 4: Water Removal and Drying

Once we've identified the leak, our crew will spring into action to extract the water from your home as quickly and efficiently as possible. We'll use specialized equipment to remove standing water, and then use professional drying techniques to prevent secondary damage and promote evaporation.

Step 5: Final Inspection and Clean-up

After the water has been removed and the drying process is complete, our crew will conduct a final inspection to ensure that your home is fully restored. We'll check for any remaining moisture or water damage, and make any necessary repairs to ensure that your home is safe and secure.
