What Is Included in Our Plumbing Leak Detection Service
Every leak detection visit includes a full system check and a written summary of what we found. Repair work is quoted separately so you can decide how to proceed.
Work order
Plumbing Leak Detection- Full Pressure Test: We isolate the supply and drain systems and use a pressure testing gauge to confirm whether the leak is on the pressurized side or the drain side. This step alone saves hours of unnecessary searching.
- Acoustic and Thermal Scan: We walk the property with an acoustic leak detection microphone and a thermal imaging camera. The microphone hears the leak through concrete, and the camera shows temperature changes from moisture. Both are included at no extra charge.
- Moisture Mapping: A moisture meter tells us how far water has spread from the leak. We map the affected area so you know whether drywall, insulation, or flooring needs to be dried or replaced after the repair.
- Marked Location and Photos: We mark the confirmed leak location with paint or tape and photograph it. You get a clear visual record of where the problem is, which is useful for insurance claims or for a second opinion.
- Written Findings Summary: Before we leave, we give you a written summary of what we tested, what we found, and what repair options make sense. If we can fix it same day, we will quote that on the spot.

Plumbing Leak Detection in Greer: What It Actually Involves
Finding the leak precisely is what keeps the repair small. We listen, measure, and mark the spot before anyone cuts. That saves you money and downtime.
Plumbing Leak Detection in Greer is the process of finding exactly where water is escaping from your pipes before anyone cuts drywall or breaks concrete. We start by isolating the system, then use an acoustic leak detection microphone to hear the leak through the slab or wall. A thermal imaging camera shows temperature differences where moisture hides. A pressure testing gauge confirms whether the loss is on the supply side or the drain side. When the source is still unclear, we bring in a tracer gas leak detector or a pipe inspection camera to see inside the line. The goal is simple: one precise location, not a demolition project.
Most Greer calls start the same way. A homeowner opens a water bill and sees it doubled. Another hears water running at 2 a.m. when every fixture is off. Older homes near Downtown Greer often have copper pipe that has pinhole leaks after decades of shifting soil. Newer builds with PEX tubing can still develop fittings that weep behind the drywall. If you need plumbing leak detection Greer SC near me, we can usually narrow the search to a single room or a single slab section in one visit.

How Our Leak Detection Process Works
Every job follows the same five steps.
Tools and Methods We Use for Leak Detection
Each method answers a different question. Together they leave very little to guess.
Shows temperature differences caused by moisture. Warm spots on a floor point to a hot water slab leak; cool spots can indicate a cold water line leak.
Confirms whether the leak is on the supply side or the drain side. This one step eliminates half the possibilities before we start scanning.
Introduces a safe gas into the line and follows it to the surface. It is especially useful for underground pipe leaks where acoustic signals are weak.
Lets us see inside the pipe to check for root intrusion, corrosion, or a failed fitting that is causing the leak.

How Plumbing Leak Detection Runs in Greer
Greer sits on clay soil that expands and contracts with the seasons, and that movement stresses buried water lines. In older neighborhoods near Downtown Greer, we see a lot of copper pipe with pinhole leaks after decades of shifting.
Downtown Greer
Many homes here were built before 1980 and still have original copper pipe. Pinhole leaks are common, and slab-on-grade construction means we often use acoustic equipment to find leaks under the floor.
Greer Station
Newer construction with PEX tubing and manifold systems. Leaks tend to happen at fittings inside walls, so we use a pipe inspection camera and moisture meter to find them without tearing out cabinets.
Taylors
A mix of older ranches and newer builds. We see underground water line leaks here from root intrusion, especially where trees are planted near the service line.

PhotoSlab Leak Under a Hallway Floor
Before: A homeowner in Downtown Greer heard water running at night and saw a warm spot on the hallway floor. They were worried the whole slab would need to be broken up.
After: We used thermal imaging and an acoustic microphone to pinpoint the leak in a two-foot section of hot water line. The repair crew cut one small access hole, replaced the copper pipe, and pressure tested it. The bill dropped back to normal the next month.
Pinhole Leak Behind a Bathroom Wall
Before: A property manager in Greer Station noticed a musty smell in a downstairs closet and soft drywall near the baseboard. A previous plumber had opened the wall in the wrong spot and found nothing.
After: We used a moisture meter to map the spread and a pipe inspection camera to find a pinhole leak in a copper line behind the adjacent bathroom. We repaired the pipe, dried the area, and the musty smell cleared within a week.
Underground Water Line Leak in the Yard
Before: A homeowner in Taylors saw a soggy patch in the yard that never dried out, even in summer. The water meter was spinning with everything off. They had already dug two dry holes looking for the leak.
After: We pressure tested the system, confirmed a supply leak, and used a tracer gas detector to follow the line. The break was from root intrusion on a PVC pipe. We marked the spot, and the repair crew replaced that section. The yard dried out and the meter stopped spinning.
Plumbing Leak Problems We Solve in Greer
Most leaks start small and stay hidden until they cause real damage.
High water bill with no visible leak
A hidden water line leak can waste 200 to 500 gallons a day, adding hundreds to your bill and saturating the soil under your foundation.
Warm spot on the floor or sound of running water
This usually means a slab leak. Left alone, hot water under the slab can crack tile, warp flooring, and soften the soil under your foundation.
Musty smell or mold from hidden leaks
Mold from hidden leaks spreads behind cabinets and under floors. It can affect air quality and turn a small pipe repair into a full remediation job.
Pool losing more than an inch of water a day
A pool leak can waste thousands of gallons a month, damage the pump, and soften the ground around the deck. It often gets mistaken for evaporation.
Why Greer Homeowners Call Us First
Finding the leak is the hard part. We do that with equipment, not with a sledgehammer, so the repair stays small and the bill stays predictable.
Stop the Water Bill Bleed
A slab leak or underground pipe leak can waste hundreds of gallons a day.
Protect the Foundation
Water under a slab softens soil and can lead to foundation leak symptoms like cracks in tile or sticking doors.
Prevent Mold From Hidden Leaks
Mold from hidden leaks usually starts behind a cabinet or under a floor where you never look.

What Greer Customers Say About Our Leak Detection
I called Greer Leak Detection Pros and they had the acoustic microphone out within an hour. Turned out to be a slab leak under the hallway. They marked it with tape and showed me the thermal image. The repair crew cut one two-foot section instead of the whole floor. Bill is back to normal.
We had a tenant reporting a musty smell in a downstairs closet. The team used a moisture meter and a pipe inspection camera to find a pinhole leak in a copper line behind the wall. They documented everything with photos and had the plumbing leak repair done the same week. No more smell, no more complaints.
I could hear water running at night but could not find it. They pressure tested the system, confirmed it was a supply leak, and used a tracer gas detector to follow it out to the yard. The underground line had root intrusion. They marked the spot and replaced that section of PVC pipe. Honest work, no upsell.

+18644286579A simple fixture or water line leak diagnosis sits at the low end. A slab leak that requires acoustic scanning, thermal imaging, and pressure isolation takes longer and costs more. We quote the detection fee before we start.
Start by shutting off every fixture and watching your water meter. If the dial still moves, you have a supply-side leak. Then check for warm spots on the floor, which point to a slab leak, or musty smells under cabinets. If you cannot narrow it down, call us. We use an acoustic leak detection microphone and thermal imaging camera to find the exact spot without tearing up your house.
Yes. Once we locate the leak, we can repair copper pipe, PEX tubing, or PVC pipe on the spot if the line is accessible. Slab and underground leaks may need a larger repair, which we schedule with a written scope. We pressure test every repaired line before we leave. If the pipe is too corroded, we recommend replacing that section rather than patching it.
The most common causes we see are pinhole leaks in older copper pipe, failed fittings on PEX tubing, root intrusion into underground water lines, and soil shifting under slab-on-grade homes. Greer's clay soil expands and contracts with the seasons, which stresses buried lines. High water pressure above 80 psi also wears out fittings faster. A pressure testing gauge reading tells us if that is a factor.
