Pressure isolation
By capping and pressurizing lines section by section, we prove which run is losing water and rule out the ones that aren't. No ambiguity, no fishing expeditions — just the failing line, identified.
Diagnosis, not demolition
Leak Detection in Austin & Marble Falls
Find the leak before anyone cuts.
Leak detection for Austin and Marble Falls homes — pressure testing and line isolation that find hidden leaks under slabs, inside walls, and in yard lines. A detection visit tells you what's wrong and where; repair is a separate, informed decision.
How we find it
Three methods, zero guesswork
Every detection visit follows the evidence — prove the leak, isolate the line, trace the signs.
Meter checks
With every fixture off, a moving meter proves water is escaping somewhere it shouldn't — and how fast. It's the first check on every detection visit.
Tracing the signs
Warm spots on the floor, damp carpet, a bill that doubled, the sound of running water when everything is off — leaks leave clues. We read them to narrow the search before anything is opened.
Detection vs. repair
Two scopes, each priced on its own
A detection visit answers one question: where is the water escaping, and what's the recommended fix? You get the location, the evidence, and a written report for your records or your insurance company. What happens next — spot repair, line reroute, or repiping — is your call, with real information in hand. If you already know you want the repair handled too, see our leak repair services.

Don't let it run

FAQ
Leak detection questions, answered
How does leak detection work?
We work by elimination. Pressure testing tells us which line is losing water: we isolate sections of the system, pressurize them, and watch which one won't hold. From there we trace the signs — meter movement, warm spots, damp areas, the sound of running water — to narrow down where that line is failing, all before anything is opened up.
Can you find a leak without tearing up my floors or walls?
That's the entire point of a detection visit. We diagnose first and open second. In most cases we narrow the search to the section of line that's failing, and any opening is limited to the small area where the repair will happen anyway. If we can't locate it, we'll tell you that honestly rather than start cutting.
My water bill jumped but I don't see any water. Is that a leak?
Very possibly. Do the meter test: make sure no water is running anywhere, then watch your water meter for 15–30 minutes. If it's moving, water is escaping somewhere — under the slab, in a wall, or in the yard line. That's exactly when to call for a detection visit, before the hidden water becomes visible damage.
Will I get documentation for my insurance company?
Yes. Every detection visit includes a written report with photos documenting the leak location and the recommended repair. That's exactly what adjusters need to evaluate a claim. If repair work follows, see our leak repair services — detection and repair are separate scopes, each priced on its own.
