Leak Detection FAQs
Here are the common signs that indicate you may have a hidden water leak:
- Unexplained Water Bill Increases: Sudden spikes in your water bill without obvious cause.
- Sound Indicators: Running water sounds when no fixtures are in use, dripping or hissing noises inside walls.
- Visual Signs: Water stains on walls or ceilings, mold growth, warped flooring, peeling paint, damp spots on carpet.
- Environmental Changes: Musty odors, unusually warm spots on floor, foundation cracks, unexplained wet spots in yard.
- Water Meter continues running even when all water is turned off.
The areas most prone to water leaks in homes are found throughout several key locations. In bathrooms, common leak points include toilet seals, shower/tub enclosures, under sink plumbing, and faucet connections. The kitchen is another vulnerable area, with leaks typically occurring under sink pipes, around dishwasher connections, and along ice maker lines. Utility areas often experience leaks around the water heater tank, washing machine hoses, and main water line entry points. Outdoor leak sources include exterior faucets, sprinkler systems, and foundation walls. Hidden leaks frequently develop behind walls at pipe joints, under floors near supply lines, and in ceiling spaces where plumbing runs.
Types of Leaks and How Pro Services Can Fix Them
Pipe Leaks
Pipe leaks can occur due to corrosion, high water pressure, or temperature changes. Common signs include water stains on walls or ceilings, reduced water pressure, and increased water bills. Pro Services uses advanced detection methods, such as video camera inspections, to locate and repair pipe leaks efficiently, preventing further damage.
Slab Leaks
Slab leaks happen when pipes beneath your home’s foundation develop leaks. These can cause significant structural damage if not addressed promptly. Indicators include damp or warm spots on floors, mold growth, and unexplained water bills. Our team specializes in non-invasive detection techniques and repairs to fix slab leaks without disrupting your home.
Faucet and Fixture Leaks
Leaking faucets and fixtures are common issues that can waste a significant amount of water. A dripping faucet can waste over 3,000 gallons of water per year. Pro Services can repair or replace faulty faucets and fixtures, helping you conserve water and reduce utility costs.
Toilet Leaks
Toilet leaks often go unnoticed but can lead to water waste and damage. Signs include a constantly running toilet, water around the base, or unusual noises. Our technicians can diagnose and fix toilet leaks, ensuring your bathroom remains functional and efficient.
Underground Water Leaks
Underground leaks can be particularly challenging to detect and repair. These leaks can cause soggy patches in your yard, low water pressure, and high water bills. Pro Services uses state-of-the-art equipment to accurately locate and repair underground leaks, restoring your plumbing system’s integrity.

Water Jetting
Part of properly maintaining pipelines is to make sure drain lines remain open and free flowing. Clogs cause backup in the sewer lines and damage to septic systems. Water jetting service prevents damage to drain lines, removes build-up, is safe for the environment, and provides long lasting results. If your sewer or septic lines are clogged, we offer high pressure water jetting services to safely and effectively clear out any blockages caused by grease build-up, dirt and sediment, or any other though clogs that cannot be cleared with a cable. Water jetting is also safer on drain lines than mechanical snaking.
