What is leak detection?

Leak detection is the process of finding the exact location of a hidden leak without tearing out floors, walls, or yards. Technicians use acoustic listening, electronic amplifiers, infrared thermal cameras, and video pipe cameras to locate water, sewer, or gas leaks, so repairs can be small and targeted.

Water, sewer, and gas lines are mostly hidden in walls, slabs, and soil. That is why leaks go unnoticed until a bill spikes or a floor feels warm. Finding the exact spot first is what keeps repairs small and costs down. Learn more about Slab Leak Detection, Water Leak Detection, or Sewer & Drain Leak Detection.

How do I know if I have a hidden leak?

Common signs of a hidden leak include a higher water bill, a water meter that moves when everything is off, damp or warm spots on floors, musty smells, and the sound of running water. If you notice any of these, call a leak detection specialist before the damage spreads.

Here are the signs we hear about most from Murrieta homeowners:

  • Higher water bill with no change in use
  • Water meter moves when everything is off
  • Warm or hot spots on the floor
  • Damp carpet, stains, or bubbling paint
  • Musty smell or visible mold
  • Sound of running water in a wall
  • Wet or sunken patches in the yard
  • Pool losing more than a quarter inch a day

Why do Murrieta homes get hidden leaks?

Many Murrieta homes sit on concrete slabs with water lines buried underneath. Clay-rich soil that swells and dries, hard water that wears on copper pipe, and aging lines in older neighborhoods all raise the chance of a pinhole leak. Detection finds it before it spreads.

Murrieta’s homes range from the older streets around Historic Murrieta to newer communities such as Bear Creek and Copper Canyon. Water arrives through local districts, including Eastern Municipal Water District and Rancho California Water District, and the line between the meter and your house belongs to you.

Warm, dry summers also keep pools and irrigation systems running hard. That adds more buried plumbing that can fail, from sprinkler lines to pool returns. It is one more reason to check a sudden bill jump quickly.

What should I do right now if I have a leak?

If you think you have a leak, shut off the main water valve, turn off appliances that use water, and take photos of any damage. Then call a leak detection pro. If you smell gas, leave the home first and call 911 and your gas utility from outside.

  1. Shut off the main water valve
  2. Turn off water heaters and water-using appliances

What is infrared and ultrasonic leak detection?

Infrared and ultrasonic leak detection are two non-invasive ways to find a hidden leak in Murrieta homes. An infrared thermal camera shows warm or cool patches where water from a hot or cold line soaks the slab or a wall. Acoustic (ultrasonic) listening gear picks up the hiss of water escaping a pressurized pipe.

  • Infrared thermal imaging: best for hot water slab leaks and wet walls or ceilings.
  • Acoustic and ultrasonic listening: best for pinpointing a leak under concrete or in a buried water line.
  • Pressure testing: proves which line is leaking before anyone opens a floor.
  • Video pipe cameras: used for sewer and drain lines.

Most visits use two or more of these together. See slab leak detection for prices, or call (951) 299-3473.

Common Questions

Leak Detection FAQs

What areas do you serve?

Murrieta Leak Pros provides leak detection throughout Murrieta and Southwest Riverside County, including Temecula, Menifee, Wildomar, Lake Elsinore, Winchester, French Valley, Canyon Lake, Hemet, and Sun City.

Are you available for emergencies?

Yes. Our dispatch line is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. If water is running out of control, shut off the main valve first, then call us. If you smell gas, leave the home and call 911 and your gas utility first.

How quickly can a technician arrive?

Arrival time depends on where you are in Southwest Riverside County and how many calls are ahead of you. When you call, dispatch gives you a clear arrival window, and emergency calls are handled first.

Is leak detection covered by insurance?

It can be. Many homeowner policies cover sudden water damage, and some also pay for the cost of finding the leak. The pipe repair itself is often not covered. Coverage differs by policy, so ask your insurer. We can give you a written report to send them.

Do you repair leaks or only detect them?

We do both. Once we find the exact spot, we explain your repair options, from a small spot repair to re-piping or trenchless pipe repair. You see what we found before you decide anything.

How accurate is non-invasive leak detection?

It is accurate when the right tools are matched to the type of leak. Acoustic listening, electronic amplification, and infrared thermal imaging can narrow a leak down to a small area, so any opening in a floor or yard stays small.

Is leak detection free in Murrieta?

A phone consultation is free. You can call 24/7, describe what you see, and get advice and a price range before anyone is sent. An on-site leak detection visit is a paid service, usually about $250 to $650 for a slab leak and $200 to $550 for a standard water leak in Murrieta. The price is confirmed before a technician comes out. See our Murrieta leak detection cost guide for details.
