Electronic Leak Detection on Maui

The Least Invasive Way to Find A Leak

Plumbing leaks can be silent killers when it comes to your property. A leak could cause an extreme amount of damage in a short amount of time, and you may not even know it’s there until it’s too late. With the overwhelming majority of your plumbing lines hidden in your walls or in the slab beneath your feet, you’re more than likely never going to see a leak for yourself, only the damage it can cause when left unresolved for too long. So, what is a homeowner to do when they suspect they have a leak? Are you supposed to tear into your walls or rip up your foundation to find it? No—the answer is far simpler than that.

Service You Need from Pros You Can Trust

One of the worst things that can happen to your home is having a leak that you don't know about. A water leak can cost hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars in wasted water each month, plus it compromises the structural integrity of your foundation and home. Fixing a leak can be tremendously expensive, not to mention then you have to deal with fixing the damage that your leak caused.

While you might be able to see signs of a leak, like water all over the floor or unexpectedly high water bills, locking down the location isn’t always so simple. At Steve's Plumbing & A/C Service, we use expert electronic leak detection equipment to get a better assessment. Using a system like electronic leak detection makes a world of difference. We're even able to find leaks under concrete flooring, which would otherwise be undetectable, without destroying the flooring and ripping into your foundation—something that could cost thousands to repair.

We can detect leaks in all areas of your home, including:

• Main water lines
• Bathroom water lines
• Kitchen water lines
• Utility water lines
• Water heater lines

How Leak Detection Works

Leak detection is done through a number of different methods. One method we use is actually a fairly simple one, known as the meter test. In this test, we shut off all water-using devices in your home so that there shouldn’t be any water being used anywhere in your home or business. Then we go to your water meter and check it—if it’s still turning and logging water use, then there’s a pretty strong chance you have a leak somewhere in your system. When this happens, we’ll investigate further.

We also use tests such as the air pressure test. This test involves filling your water lines with air and then using a high-sensitivity microphone to listen for the sound of air leaking out of the line. This microphone allows us to locate even some of the smallest leaks, down to mere pinhole-sized leaks that only allow a small drip of water.
