Aqua Leak Detection
Household water leaks can originate from a shocking wide variety of sources. They can start suddenly and quickly cause an immense amount of immediately-visible damage, or they can be no more than a barely-noticeable trickle that sneaks up on you over time, leaving concealed but serious and costly damage in its wake.
Homeowners who know that they have a serious leak — because they are standing in a puddle — tend to take immediate steps to detect and repair it. Smaller leaks are, on the other hand, often ignored for far too long.
While this happens for a variety of reasons, one of the primary culprits can be found in the fact that household plumbing leaks can be extremely challenging to detect. To find the source of the leak, you might think, you would have to be willing to inflict significant damage to your property — demolishing walls and floors, and digging up your yard, for instance. Even then, you might not be sure you’ll identify the leak.
Are you currently facing a similar dilemma? You know that you have a water leak somewhere in your home, but you have no idea what is causing the leak or where it may be coming from? You don’t want the leak to go on, potentially severe destruction in its wake, but you are not quite ready to carry out unnecessary demolition work to identify it, either?
That’s where a reputable leak detection company staffed by an experienced team can come in. Meet the Aqua Leak Detection team. We’ll use the most cutting-edge non-invasive leak detection methods to identify the source of your leak in no time — without doing additional damage to your property.
Detecting a leak is the first step toward repairing it; the first step toward protecting your property.
What exactly do leak detection professionals do? What is non-invasive leak detection and in what kinds of situations do homeowners turn to leak detection specialists rather than plumbers? Why should you call Aqua Leak Detection if you need a trusted partner to detect a leak in your home?
Read on to discover answers to all these questions — and decide for yourself whether Aqua Leak Detection can help you.
What Is Leak Detection?
You may suspect a plumbing leak if you have wet or warm spots (or puddles) on a floor, if portions of your walls are wet or stained, if water resurfaces in your yard, if you hear water running when all your fixtures and appliances are shut off, and if your water bills are suddenly alarmingly high.
You may also question whether you may have a plumbing leak if you smell sewage, a sink or tub does not drain properly, there are signs of mold and mildew within your home, or your home has developed foundational cracks.
When you suspect that you could have a leak — and especially if you already know that you have a plumbing leak, just not where it is coming from — you know that you need to take action to find and repair the problem.
You may not know who to call, however. Most people would instinctively call a plumber. Leak detection specialists, like the experienced Aqua Leak Detection team, are especially trained to detect the root cause of any leak. Leak detection professionals carry specialized equipment to detect leaks in the least invasive way possible, without causing undue damage, and leak detection professionals are your best bet if you are determined to identify the source of a concealed leak as quickly as possible.
Because we are independent professionals who are in the business of detecting leaks, Aqua Leak Detection only pinpoints the source of the leak — and unlike plumbing businesses, we would never suggest remedying the problem by having your plumbing repiped completely when that is frequently entirely avoidable. As such, partnering with a leak detection company can save you thousands of dollars.
What Non-Invasive Leak Detection Methods Does Aqua Leak Detection Use?
Our experienced plumbing specialists rely on specialized training and equipment to detect leaks within your home and yard in a non-invasive way. If you have never worked with a leak detection company before, you will be curious what the process entails. Here is a look at the methods Aqua Leak Detection uses to identify the precise source of any leak on your property.
Acoustic Leak Detection
All water leaks produce noise — and indeed, the sound of humming water pipes or running water may be what led you to consider hiring Aqua Leak Detection in the first place. The sounds that leaks create offer a valuable diagnostic tool. This is because each type of leak produces a unique sound, and leaks in different types of pipes are all associated with specific frequencies, as well.
In some cases, leak detection professionals will be able to begin to identify a leak simply by listening. Many leaks are more hidden, however, and that is why Aqua Leak Detection relies on acoustic leak detection. Ultrasound, in combination with acoustic sensors, can help leak detection specialists find out exactly where your leak is situated. Even the smallest pinhole leaks can be “caught” quickly with the help of advanced equipment.
Video Leak Detection
Thanks to video leak detection, finding the source of a leak is less invasive than ever before. Aqua Leak Detection will use endoscopes or borescopes, cutting-edge imaging technology, to be able to get an in-depth look at the condition of your plumbing and surrounding small spaces.
Endoscopes, modern devices with tiny cameras at their tips, can effortlessly be fed through water pipes and sewage lines with the right know-how. They can also be used to inspect crawl spaces and other cramped areas surrounding pipes to analyze the presence of leak indicators such as mold and water accumulation. By inspecting the inside and outside of pipes, video leak inspections are an immensely valuable tool in detecting leaks without causing property damage.
Thermal Imaging to Detect Leaks
All plumbing leaks, no matter how extensive or minor, and regardless of their duration, lead to temperature differences. The water that is lost over the course of a leak can build up around the source of the leak, and whether the leaking water is cold water or warm water, this can be seen with the help of thermal imaging devices.
Aqua Leak Detection uses thermography to visualize the source of a water leak. This non-invasive technique does not call for any digging or demolition, and instead precisely indicates the location of a leak externally.
Leak Detection with the Help of Moisture Meters
Moisture meters are another extremely helpful tool in the leak detection process. While you may be unsure whether you have a leak, or the water damage that you have noticed could be caused by condensation instead, Aqua Leak Detection can use a moisture meter to analyze the moisture patterns within your walls, ceilings, and flooring.
Moisture meters are especially helpful in determining whether a leak is present within insulated walls and roofs.
A plumbing leak within your home or your commercial space can easily turn into a nightmare. Even seemingly small leaks that appear fairly safe to ignore at first sight can quickly cause shocking amounts of damage.
It’s not just the punishingly high water bills. It’s not just the fact that leaks can, if they are left alone for too long, lead to devastating repair bills, and even threaten the structural integrity of your property. It’s not just that water leaks cause mold and pests over time, leading to serious health risks.
Homeowners and business owners alike should take leaks very seriously for all of those reasons. Aqua Leak Detection is there to diagnose your leaks before they can do their worst — allowing you to save money and protect your property, and offering you peace of mind.
The best news? Thanks to the innovative and non-invasive leak detection, you now no longer have to worry that the leak detection process will itself inflict further damage and extra repair costs.
10 Common Reasons to Use a Leak Detection Company
Are you not familiar with leak detection professionals yet, but do you suspect that you have a leak? People just like you turn to leak detection specialists for a variety of compelling reasons.
1. Choosing a Leak Detection Company Is Cost Effective
Who should you call if you believe or know that you have a plumbing leak? Many people would still answer that they would call a general plumber. Many (though not all) general plumbers can indeed locate and repair water leaks. However, installing new pipes is their main job.
We’re sure that you have heard the expression “if you’re a hammer, every problem looks like a nail” before. We are not suggesting that plumbers will try to con you into having extensive repiping work carried out, but we are saying that plumbers will often suggest unnecessary repiping simply because they lack the capability of diagnosing the source of a plumbing leak accurately. Choosing a leak detection company can help you avoid this problem.
2. Leak Detection Specialists Are Trained to Detect Leaks
Specialists in leak detection are not only trained to detect leaks, but also carry advanced equipment that makes the job easier, faster, and leads to more accurate results. A leak detection company is your optimal option if you need to locate the source of a leak quickly — and you do.
3. Leak Detection Companies Are Independent
A leak detection company has one job, and one job only — we’re here to detect leaks. If you need an independent assessment, a leak detection company is the way to go. We’ll never suggest extensive repairs because that would cause us to profit.
4. Leak Detection Companies Offer Non-Invasive Leak Detection
Whether you were considering hiring some sort of contractor, or were thinking about poking around for the source of a leak on your own, leak hunting can itself cause extensive damage. Why not rely on leak detection professionals, who have the right tools to find the leak without adding to your problems, instead?
5. A Leak Detection Company Will Offer You Peace of Mind
Knowing that you have a leak, but not where it is coming from, can be extremely stressful. Once you are aware of the source of the leak, you will no longer have to worry.
6. Allowing a Leak to Continue Is Expensive
Even if you think you only have a small leak, the constant or periodic flow of water such a leak creates can lead to enormous damage over time. Every second the leak continues adds to your repair costs — and your water bill.
7. Leaks Can Threaten Your Home’s Structural Integrity
Over time, leaks can lead to foundational cracks, collapsed ceilings, and severe floor damage. Every fix has to begin with diagnosis, and a leak detection company will help you pinpoint the cause of your leak quickly.
8. Leaks Pose a Health Risk
Hidden water leaks almost always lead to mold and mildew. They can also attract rodents and other pests. Both can cause ongoing health problems, and prolonged mold exposure is even associated with the development of chronic respiratory conditions. Keep your family safe by calling a leak detection company as soon as possible.
9. Leaks Cause Environmental Damage
Even minor leaks can cause tens of thousands of gallons of water to be lost every year. If you care about the impact you have on the environment, detecting and fixing a leak should be your utmost priority.
10. Leak Detection Is Prudent Before You Buy a Home
Are you in the market for a new home? Even a “dream property” can quickly become a source of constant worry and financial losses when it turns out that your new home had a hidden leak. Sellers may not know about a leak, or may do their best to conceal it. A home inspector, who has to assess the whole state of the property very quickly, cannot be a substitute for a leak detection company in this case.

Our highly-trained and experienced team is able to pinpoint the source of any leak in your home, yard, or commercial space accurately and quickly — so that you can get to work on repairing the problem, and enjoy your property in peace.
