An unexplained spike on the water bill, a damp patch on the floor with no obvious source, or the faint sound of running water somewhere in the walls — hidden leaks are frustrating precisely because you can't see them. Our Rio technicians use acoustic and thermal equipment to find them without tearing into walls or floors on a guess.
Detection equipment on every Rio truck means we don't have to guess and open drywall speculatively.
Locating the leak precisely keeps any necessary opening small and targeted rather than exploratory.
Our Rio, WI technicians are trained specifically on detection equipment, not just general plumbing repair.
We walk you through what the equipment found, not just hand you a bill.
These are the hidden leak scenarios we investigate most often across Rio, WI.
This method works well for pressurized supply line leaks that create a detectable sound signature.
A leak beneath a concrete slab is pinpointed using acoustic and thermal methods before any concrete is opened.
Infrared imaging reveals temperature differences caused by escaping hot or cold water behind walls and under floors.
We locate the actual leak point, which is often not directly behind the visible water stain.
Underground irrigation and pool line leaks are diagnosed with the same precision as household leaks.
An unexplained increase in water usage gets investigated systematically to find the hidden cause.
Describe the symptoms to dispatch — a wet spot, a sound, or just a rising water bill all help narrow the search.
A technician arrives with acoustic and thermal detection equipment ready to survey the affected area.
You'll understand exactly where the leak is and what fixing it will involve before agreeing to anything.
Detection and repair are backed by a written warranty on the diagnosis and any repair performed.

Ask dispatch for current detection pricing — it's disclosed before scheduling.
Our goal is always to find the leak first, keeping any necessary opening as small as possible.
