Finding Water That Never Reaches a Faucet
A bill that jumps two hundred gallons with no change in habits means water is going somewhere. So does a meter dial that keeps turning after every tap in the house is closed, a warm spot on a floor, or the faint sound of running water in a quiet room. Peninsula Plumbing, LLC provides Water Leak Detection and Testing in Ocean View, Delaware, and surrounding areas, locating the source before anyone opens a wall.
Call (302) 390-6401 if your usage has climbed or your meter will not settle. We will pinpoint the leak and explain exactly what the repair involves.
Locating Without Demolition
Cutting into drywall to hunt for a leak is a last resort, not a starting point. Our family owned company has spent more than 20 years tracking hidden water throughout Sussex and Kent County, using acoustic equipment, pressure testing, and thermal readings to narrow the search to a few feet of pipe. We hold a master license in three states, and locating a leak accurately is exactly what keeps the eventual repair small.
How We Track a Hidden Leak
Every inspection follows a methodical sequence rather than a guess about the likeliest spot:
- Meter testing to confirm water is moving with all fixtures off
- Isolating supply zones to narrow down which line is losing water
- Acoustic listening equipment for leaks under slabs and inside walls
- Pressure testing on individual sections of pipe
- Thermal imaging to spot moisture behind finished surfaces
- Locating slab leaks running beneath concrete floors
- Checking irrigation lines, outdoor spigots, and buried service pipe
- Written findings along with a clear recommendation for repair
Once located, the fix usually involves Leak Repair, Whole House Repiping, Trenchless Water Line Repair, or Water and Sewer Line Repairs when the trouble sits outside.
