Fox’s Step-by-Step Leak Detection Process

We know how frustrating it is to chase down mysterious water leaks. That’s why our leak detection services in Seattle, WA follow a careful, step-by-step approach to pinpoint the exact source, fast, clean, and without the guesswork.

Initial Conversation & Site Walkthrough

It all starts with a conversation. We ask questions about what you’ve noticed, sounds, smells, stains, and take a good look around your property to identify potential problem areas in your plumbing system.

Meter & Pressure Testing

Next, we test your water meter and overall pressure levels. A sudden drop in pressure or a spinning meter when no water’s running can be a solid clue that a hidden water leak is at play.

Infrared Camera Scanning

Using thermal imaging, we scan walls, floors, and ceilings to detect temperature changes caused by leaking water lines or sewer lines. This helps us avoid tearing anything open unnecessarily.

Acoustic Listening Technology

We use advanced acoustic tools that let us “listen” inside your walls and under slabs. This technology amplifies leak sounds so we can zero in on the source, even if it’s deep beneath the foundation.

Confirm & Plan for Repair

Once we find the leak, we’ll confirm its location and severity. Then, we’ll walk you through repair options tailored to your home’s setup, budget, and long-term needs.

With our water leak detection services, there’s no guesswork, just straight answers and effective solutions.

How We Deal With Slab Leaks or Other Problematic Leaks Once They Are Located

Once we find leaks, especially tough ones like slab leaks, we move fast to stop further damage and get your home back in shape. First, we isolate the affected area to minimize disruption. Then, depending on the severity and location of the leak, we’ll either reroute your water lines above ground or break through a small section of flooring to access and repair the problem directly.

Slab leak repair is delicate work, but with our tools and know-how, we handle it efficiently. For other hard-to-reach leaks behind walls or under cabinetry, we use targeted demolition and trenchless techniques when possible.

Our goal? Minimal mess, minimal stress, and long-lasting leak repair that keeps your plumbing system strong and dependable.

Signs of a Plumbing Leak in Your Home

If you’ve just stepped into a puddle of water where it shouldn’t be, this is the most obvious sign of a leak that you’ll get. There are many other signs of hidden leaks, however, that are not so obvious.

Some of these include the following:

• Mold and mildew growth
• Musty smells
• Inexplicable rise in your home’s humidity
• Water stains on ceilings, walls, and floors
• Water blisters forming behind paint or wallpaper
• Running water meter
• Foundation cracks from undermining

You may notice some of these signs on your own, or another expert performing unrelated services on your property may notice them. Regardless of how you become aware of the signs of a possible leak in your home, it’s important to immediately call a plumber for help locating and repairing it.

When you reach out to Fox Plumbing, Heating & Cooling, we guarantee that we’ll get the job done right. Rest assured that we’ll help you find the leak in your home, stop it as soon as possible, and repair the underlying problem so it doesn’t happen again.

Where Do Leaks Happen in a Home?

Leaks are liable to occur anywhere in your home. Behind your walls and beneath your floors is a network of pipes that are all dedicated to delivering fresh water and removing wastewater and sewage. Leaks most commonly occur when pipes are improperly fitted or corrode over time.
