Plumbing Leak Detection
Our advanced electronic tools identify hidden plumbing leaks in walls, floors, and underground lines without destructive excavation. This non-invasive approach preserves property integrity while delivering precise diagnostics for residential and commercial systems. Customers benefit from reduced repair costs and minimized water waste through early issue identification.
Sewer Camera Inspection
High-resolution cameras navigate sewer lines to pinpoint cracks, blockages, and root intrusion. This technology enables accurate diagnosis of underground sewer issues without digging, allowing targeted repairs that extend system lifespan. Property owners gain clear visual documentation to make informed maintenance decisions.
Utility Line Location
Using electromagnetic and ground-penetrating radar, we map underground utility lines for water, gas, and electrical systems. This service prevents accidental damage during construction projects while ensuring compliance with safety regulations. Clients receive detailed site maps that facilitate safe excavation planning.
Leak Repair
We implement trenchless repair methods like epoxy lining and crack injection to fix leaks with minimal disruption. These solutions restore pipe integrity while avoiding costly landscape restoration. Commercial clients particularly benefit from reduced downtime and long-term cost savings.
LeakVUE Services
This IoT-enabled system continuously monitors water usage patterns to detect anomalies indicative of leaks. Real-time alerts enable prompt intervention, preventing extensive damage in residential and commercial properties. The technology integrates with smart home systems for proactive water management.

Able to find the leak and then dig a hole to repair replaced the piece of copper pipe and covered it. Comes with a year warranty. Took pictures and sent with receipt to email. Price was reasonable. They did a great job. Service: Plumbing leak detection

Had a slow water leak coming from a dry wall nail that had punctured the PEX water line. It took 6 years for the nail to rust and the leak to start. Henry found the problem and fixed it in a timely manner. Fortunately no major water damage in the wall. Company was easy to work with and schedule with. Service: Plumbing leak detection

This company does not want business. I had a plumber come to my home over a month ago. I have got nothing but a run around ever since. First two weeks it was "computer issues" and they could not send a quote. I've waited because out of the three plumbers who came I liked this one the best and had already decided that I would hire him even if he was the highest. The insurance did not get the estimate for over 4 weeks and NOW they are telling me they can only send it to insurance and not me. Well I am the one hiring not the insurance. They obviously do not want business.

Dakota came and performed a leak detection on my pool and repaired it same day for a third of what I thought the detection alone would cost! Great service

Came out, decided before he got started that we should do a bucket test. Evaporation not a leak. We did. No leak. No cost. Exactly what I would want from any expert.
