# Leak Detection

We track down hidden leaks in walls, floors and supply lines, then fix the source for homes and businesses.

Not every leak drips where you can see it. Any of these can mean water is escaping somewhere:

- A water bill that jumps for no reason
- A water meter that keeps moving with every fixture off
- A warm spot on a slab floor
- Stained drywall or a musty smell
- A toilet that refills on its own

We start with the simple checks: fixtures, toilets, the water heater and the visible supply lines. Then we isolate sections of the plumbing and test until we know where the water is going. We want to open as little wall, ceiling or floor as possible and fix the actual source, not the symptom. Once we find the leak, we explain what failed and what the repair involves before we start. Hidden leaks get worse over time and can lead to rot and mold, so call early. We handle leak detection for homes and businesses in [Cincinnati](/areas/cincinnati/), [Kenwood](/areas/kenwood/), [West Chester](/areas/west-chester/) and nearby towns. If water is coming through a ceiling, shut off the main and call us at 513-771-7588\. We answer 24/7.

## Common questions

How can I tell if I have a hidden leak?

Turn off every faucet, appliance and fixture, then watch your water meter for a few minutes. If it keeps moving, water is going somewhere. A rising bill, damp spots and musty smells are other signs.

Will you have to cut into my walls or floors?

Sometimes an opening is needed to reach the pipe, but we narrow down the location first so the opening is as small as possible. We tell you where and why before we cut anything.

Do you do leak detection for businesses?

Yes. We work for both residential and commercial customers across Greater Cincinnati and Southeastern Indiana. Call 513-771-7588 or reach us through the [contact page](/contact/).
