Leak Detection in Orange County, CA

Hearing water run with everything off? Water bill jumping for no reason? We trace slab leaks and hidden leaks to the exact spot with electronic detection — so we fix the leak, not your whole floor.

Signs you have a hidden leak

Hidden leaks waste water and quietly damage your home long before you see a puddle. Watch for:

  • A water bill that spikes with no change in usage
  • The sound of running water when everything is off
  • Warm spots on the floor (a hot-water slab leak)
  • Low water pressure that wasn't there before
  • Mold, mildew smell, or warped flooring and baseboards
  • The water meter still spinning with all fixtures shut

We find it before we fix it

The whole point of leak detection is to avoid ripping up floors and walls hunting for the source. We pinpoint the leak first:

  • Electronic acoustic listening to hear the leak through slab and walls
  • Pressure testing to confirm which line is losing water
  • Pinpoint location marking so any access is small and targeted
  • No needless demolition — we open only what we have to

Leaks we trace and repair

  • Slab leaks under the concrete foundation
  • Underground main and irrigation line leaks
  • Pinhole leaks in copper supply lines
  • Hidden leaks behind walls and under cabinets
  • Leaks driving up your bill that you can't see

Leak Detection questions

How do you find a leak without tearing up the house?
We use electronic acoustic equipment and pressure testing to pinpoint the leak's exact location first. That way any access we open is small and targeted — no guesswork demolition.
What is a slab leak?
A slab leak is a leak in a water line running under your concrete foundation. Signs include warm spots on the floor, a jump in your water bill, low pressure, or the sound of running water with everything off.
My water bill jumped — could it be a leak?
Often, yes. A sudden spike with no change in usage is one of the most common signs of a hidden leak. We can test your system and locate it.
Do you repair the leak too, or just find it?
Both. We locate the leak precisely, then repair it — from a pinhole in a copper line to a slab leak under the foundation.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — Rooter ER Plumbing is fully licensed and insured, CSLB License #1120615, family-owned and operated.
