Leak Detection in Lakebay
Long service-line and crawlspace leaks. We trace before opening. A leak you can hear, smell, or see somewhere it should not be. Leak detection traces the source so the repair can be targeted instead of guessed. The goal is to reduce unnecessary demolition. The goal is not zero openings.

Common Questions: Leak Detection in Lakebay
Usually we can locate it without major opening. Leak detection reduces unnecessary demolition. It does not always mean zero openings. Sometimes a small targeted access is needed to confirm before the repair.
Yes. Slab leaks are diagnosed with acoustic and thermal tools, then confirmed before any concrete work. The repair scope (reroute or slab access) is quoted separately based on what we find.
We open cleanly. Drywall patch, texture, paint, flooring, and finish work are by others unless those steps are written into the scope.
That is not plumbing and we will say so. Roof and exterior moisture intrusion is a different trade. We point you in the right direction.
