Leak Detection Houston TX Built on 13 Years of Slab and Pipe Work
Leak Detection The Heights has been chasing hidden water leaks across Houston since 2013. Thirteen years in, we have crawled under pier-and-beam homes in the Heights, cut into slabs in Meyerland, and traced irrigation breaks in Katy. Our techs carry RIDGID pipe inspection cameras, Fluke moisture meters, and FLIR thermal imaging cameras on every truck, so we diagnose instead of guess.
What sets us apart is that we locate and repair. You get one crew, one price, and a line that holds pressure before we pull out of your driveway. We work Houston TX Leak Detection calls from Downtown to Clear Lake, and we answer the phone at 2 a.m. when a frozen pipe lets go in January. Licensed under the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners, insured, and code-correct on every repair.

What we do
Water Leak Detection Houston: Every Leak We Chase
Water Leak Detection Houston covers a lot of ground, from a dripping shower valve in Midtown to a slab leak quietly shifting a River Oaks foundation. We handle 29 leak categories with the same approach: find it precisely, fix it correctly, and prove the repair holds. If you have been searching for Water Leak Detection near me Houston and getting nothing but guesswork, this is the lineup we bring.
Slab Leak Detection
A slab leak is water escaping under your foundation, and it shows up as a hot spot on the floor, a spike in the water bill, or a crack in the tile. We use acoustic listening devices and thermal imaging to pinpoint the break before anyone cuts concrete. Common in Houston's older pier-and-beam and slab neighborhoods alike.
Explore →
Foundation Leak Detection
Foundation movement in Houston clay soil often traces back to a plumbing leak feeding the soil under your home. We pressure test the lines, map the moisture with a Fluke meter, and tell you whether the fix is a pipe repair or a foundation conversation. Catching it early saves thousands.
Explore →
Pool Leak Detection
A pool losing an inch a day is not evaporation. We pressure test the plumbing loop, dye-test the shell and fittings, and check the skimmer and light niches. Houston pools run year-round, so a slow leak under the deck can erode the surrounding soil for months before you notice.
Explore →
Sewer Line Leak Detection
Sewer leaks announce themselves with backups, soggy patches in the yard, and that smell you cannot place. We run a RIDGID pipe inspection camera through the line to find root intrusion, collapsed PVC pipe, or a cracked fitting, then scope the repair. Common in older Bellaire and Third Ward homes.
Explore →
Gas Leak Detection
A gas leak is not a wait-and-see problem. We use a Sewerin tracer gas detector and pressure testing gauge to locate leaks at fittings, valves, and appliance connections, then isolate and repair. If you smell gas, leave the house and call us from outside. We respond 24/7.
Explore →
Plumbing Leak Detection
Plumbing leaks hide behind drywall, under cabinets, and inside walls. We use electronic leak detectors and moisture meters to trace the source without tearing your house apart. One pinpointed leak beats five exploratory holes every time.
Explore →
Roof Leak Detection
Houston hail and tropical downpours find every weak flashing and worn boot. We trace roof leaks with moisture meters and visual inspection, then tell you whether it is a roofing repair or a plumbing vent issue. We do not tarp and pray; we find the entry point.
Explore →
Irrigation System Leak Detection
A sprinkler zone leaking underground can waste thousands of gallons a month. We isolate each zone, pressure test the lateral lines, and locate the break with acoustic gear. Katy and Cypress lawns with big irrigation systems are our most common calls.
Explore →
Water Heater Leak Detection
Water heater leaks come from the tank, the T&P valve, or a fitting, and they all end up on your floor. We diagnose the source, check the anode rod and fittings, and tell you straight whether it is a repair or a replacement. No upselling a tank that still has years left.
Explore →
Pipe Leak Detection
Copper pipe, PEX tubing, and old galvanized lines all fail differently. Pinhole leaks in copper, cracked PEX fittings, and corroded galvanized joints are our bread and butter. We locate the failure, repair with the right material, and pressure test before closing the wall.
Explore →
Electronic Leak Detection
Electronic leak detectors pick up the sound of water escaping a pressurized line through concrete, tile, and soil. It is the fastest way to narrow a search area before we bring in cameras or thermal gear. Non-invasive and accurate to within a few inches.
Explore →
Thermal Imaging Leak Detection
A FLIR thermal imaging camera shows temperature differences that reveal hidden moisture and hot-water line leaks behind walls and under slabs. We use it alongside moisture meters to confirm what the camera suggests. No demolition required to get answers.
Explore →
Acoustic Leak Detection
Acoustic listening devices amplify the sound of pressurized water escaping a pipe. We place contact microphones on the slab, wall, or floor and triangulate the leak. This is the workhorse tool for slab leaks and underground water main breaks across Houston.
Explore →
Tracer Gas Leak Detection
For hard-to-find leaks in potable lines or gas systems, we introduce a safe tracer gas and sniff it with a Sewerin detector. It finds leaks that acoustic gear misses, especially in lines running under slabs or through landscaping. Precise and non-destructive.
Explore →
Pressure Testing for Leaks
We isolate sections of your plumbing and pressurize them with a hydrostatic test pump to confirm whether a line is leaking and where. Pressure testing is how we prove a repair holds before we call the job done. No guesswork, no callbacks.
Explore →
Underground Leak Detection
Water main breaks, irrigation line failures, and sewer leaks all happen underground. We use acoustic gear and tracer gas to locate the break without digging up your whole yard. One trench, one repair, done.
Explore →
Concealed Leak Detection
Concealed leaks behind walls, under floors, and inside ceilings are the ones that do the most damage before you notice. We use thermal imaging and moisture meters to map the moisture and trace it to the source. Then we open only what needs opening.
Explore →
Toilet Leak Detection
A running toilet can waste 200 gallons a day. We check the flapper, fill valve, and wax ring, and pressure test the supply line. If the leak is under the floor, we find it before the subfloor rots. Quick, cheap fix if you catch it early.
Explore →
Faucet Leak Detection
Faucet leaks are usually cartridge or O-ring failures, but sometimes the leak is behind the wall at the supply connection. We diagnose the source, repair or replace the fixture, and check the shutoff valves while we are in there. Most jobs done same day.
Explore →
Shower Leak Detection
Shower leaks show up as stained ceilings below, loose tile, or a water bill that creeps up. We check the pan, the drain connection, the valve body, and the supply lines. Houston's humidity makes hidden shower leaks a mold risk fast, so we do not wait.
Explore →
Bathtub Leak Detection
Tub leaks come from the overflow gasket, the drain shoe, or the supply lines behind the wall. We test each one and repair the actual failure. If water is staining the ceiling below your tub, call us before the drywall goes.
Explore →
Drain Leak Detection
Drain leaks under sinks, in crawl spaces, and inside walls rot wood and grow mold. We run a pipe inspection camera through the drain to find cracks, separated joints, and root intrusion. Then we repair with PVC pipe and fittings that match your system.
Explore →
Sump Pump Leak Detection
A sump pump that runs constantly or never runs is a problem either way. We check the check valve, discharge line, and pit for leaks, and test the float switch. Houston's high water table makes a working sump pump non-negotiable in low-lying areas.
Explore →
Water Main Leak Detection
A water main leak shows up as a soggy yard, a spinning meter, or low pressure in the house. We locate the break with acoustic gear and tracer gas, then repair or replace the section. Most main repairs are done in a single day.
Explore →
Fire Sprinkler Leak Detection
Fire sprinkler systems leak at heads, fittings, and the riser. We pressure test the system, locate the failure, and repair it to code. Commercial properties in Greenway Plaza and Downtown need this handled fast to stay compliant.
Explore →
HVAC Leak Detection
HVAC condensate leaks stain ceilings and trip float switches. We trace the drain line, check the pan and trap, and clear the blockage. If the leak is in the refrigerant circuit, we locate it with electronic detection and repair the line.
Explore →
Refrigerant Leak Detection
A refrigerant leak means your AC runs longer and cools less. We use electronic leak detectors and pressure testing to find the leak at the coil, line set, or Schrader valve. Then we repair and recharge to spec. Houston summers do not forgive a slow leak.
Explore →
Commercial Leak Detection
Commercial buildings have more pipe, more pressure, and more at stake. We handle restaurants, retail, offices, and warehouses across Harris County with minimal disruption. Night and weekend scheduling available so your business does not stop.
Explore →
Residential Leak Detection
From a 1920s Heights bungalow to a new-build in Cypress, we find residential leaks without tearing your home apart. Thermal imaging, acoustic gear, and moisture meters on every call. Upfront pricing and a repair that holds pressure before we leave.

Houston Leak Problems We Solve Every Week
Houston plumbing takes a beating: clay soil that shifts with every wet-dry cycle, summer heat that stresses pipe joints, and winter freezes that burst lines. Here are the calls we run most and how we handle them.
Ask a pro →Water bill doubled with no visible leak anywhere
That is almost always a slab leak or an underground irrigation break. We shut off the house, watch the meter, and isolate zones to find which line is losing water. Acoustic gear then pinpoints the break so we dig or cut in one spot, not five.
Warm spot on the floor and a faint sound of running water
Classic hot-water slab leak. We use thermal imaging to map the hot line under the slab and acoustic gear to hear the escape point. Repair usually means rerouting the line overhead or spot-repairing the copper, and we pressure test after.
Sewage smell in the yard and slow drains throughout the house
That points to a sewer line break or root intrusion. We run a RIDGID pipe inspection camera through the line to see exactly what is wrong, then repair or replace the damaged section. Common in older Houston neighborhoods with mature trees.
Frozen pipe burst during a January freeze
We shut the water off, locate the split with pressure testing, and repair the section. If it is a copper pipe, we cut out the failed piece and solder in new. PEX gets a coupling. Then we pressure test and get your water back on.

Leak Detection Houston TX Questions

We have been doing Leak Detection in Houston, Texas since 2013, we are licensed under the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners, and we pressure test every repair with a hydrostatic pump before we leave. Ask any company you call whether they locate and repair, or just locate. We do both.
Yes. We answer the phone around the clock and roll trucks for emergencies like burst pipes, gas leaks, and active flooding. A frozen pipe at 2 a.m. or a water heater letting go on a holiday gets the same response as a weekday call. Call 832-839-4984 and we will get someone headed your way.
