How We Track Down Hidden Leaks
Not all leaks make themselves known with a dramatic burst of water. Some are silent, slowly causing damage behind walls or beneath your foundation. That’s why we use a combination of technology, experience, and good old-fashioned detective work to locate leaks with minimal disruption to your home or business.
Some of the techniques we use to track down leaks include:
- Acoustic leak detection – Water escaping from a pipe makes distinct sounds that our specialized equipment can pick up, even behind walls or under concrete.
- Infrared thermal imaging – Temperature differences caused by moisture help us pinpoint leaks hidden within walls, ceilings, and floors.
- Pressure testing – By measuring pressure drops in your plumbing system, we can identify sections with hidden leaks.
- Video pipe inspections – For leaks inside drain or sewer lines, we send a high-resolution camera through your pipes to locate the issue.
Using these methods, we can find leaks quickly and accurately—without tearing apart your walls or floors in the process.

We Find Leaks the Right Way
Some plumbers play a game of "hide and seek" with leaks, relying on guesswork and assumptions to track them down. The result? Unnecessary damage, missed problems, and repairs that don’t quite do the job—leaving your wallet feeling the pain. Chasing leaks through trial and error might sound like fun for them, but it’s definitely not ideal for your home or your budget.
Here are some risks associated with inaccurate or delayed leak detection:
- Escalated water damage – Even minor leaks can lead to costly repairs as water seeps into walls, floors, or your foundation.
- Mold growth – Excess moisture creates the perfect environment for mold and mildew, which can pose health risks and require extensive remediation.
- Higher utility bills – Undetected leaks waste significant amounts of water, driving up your monthly water expenses.
- Unnecessary repairs – Misdiagnosing a leak means replacing or repairing the wrong areas, which doesn't fix the core issue.
Doug Anderson Plumbing and Heating takes the guesswork out of leak detection by prioritizing precision and efficiency. We’re dedicated to finding and addressing leaks accurately, saving you time, money, and preventing unnecessary disruptions to your home. Accuracy is our standard, not a luxury.
