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 Sheldahl technicians use acoustic and thermal equipment to find them without tearing into walls or floors on a guess.
We use listening equipment and thermal imaging to locate leaks through walls, floors, and slabs without demolition.
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.
We walk you through what the equipment found, not just hand you a bill.
From a rising water bill with no visible cause to a damp spot that keeps returning, we locate the source before recommending repair.
Listening equipment picks up the sound of water escaping under pressure, even through concrete or behind walls.
We narrow a slab leak to a specific small area rather than an entire room.
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.
Underground irrigation and pool line leaks are diagnosed with the same precision as household leaks.
An unexplained increase in water usage gets investigated systematically to find the hidden cause.
Describe the symptoms to dispatch — a wet spot, a sound, or just a rising water bill all help narrow the search.
Our Sheldahl, IA detection trucks carry the equipment needed for most residential and light commercial leak searches.
You'll understand exactly where the leak is and what fixing it will involve before agreeing to anything.
Detection and repair are backed by a written warranty on the diagnosis and any repair performed.
