FAQs
What are the most common signs I might have a hidden water leak in my Robbins home?
Look for an unexplained spike in your water bill, the sound of running water when no fixtures are on, damp or warm spots on floors or walls, mildew or musty odors, peeling paint or wallpaper, and low water pressure. If you notice any combination of these indicators, it’s wise to schedule professional leak detection right away to prevent structural damage and higher repair costs.
How does your leak detection process work?
Our certified technicians start with a visual inspection and meter test to confirm water loss. We then employ non-invasive technologies—such as acoustic listening devices, infrared thermal imaging, and pressure testing—to pinpoint the exact location of the leak without tearing into walls or floors. Once located, we provide a detailed report and recommendations for repair so you can make an informed decision.
Can you find leaks under slabs or underground service lines?
Yes. Slab leaks and underground line leaks are specialties of our Robbins leak detection team. We use electronic amplification equipment and ground microphones to listen for the distinctive frequency of escaping water. For deeper lines, tracer gas and correlating sensors allow us to locate the leak to within a few inches, minimizing excavation and repair costs.
How quickly can you respond to a leak detection request in Robbins?
We offer same-day service for most calls placed before noon and 24/7 emergency response for active leaks that could cause property damage. Our local technicians live and work in the Robbins area, allowing us to arrive on-site—fully equipped—within 60–90 minutes for urgent situations.
What does professional leak detection typically cost?
In Robbins, most residential leak detection jobs range from $175 to $450, depending on factors such as building size, accessibility, and the need for specialized equipment. We provide upfront, flat-rate pricing after a brief phone consultation, and the fee is applied toward repair costs if you choose us to fix the leak.
Will my homeowners insurance cover the leak detection and repairs?
Coverage varies by policy, but many insurers will reimburse the cost of accessing and diagnosing a sudden, accidental water leak, along with the resulting water damage. They may not cover repairing the leaking pipe itself. We supply detailed invoices, photos, and moisture readings to help streamline your claim, and we can work directly with adjusters upon request.
