Warning signs
Most leaks we find were never seen. They show up as a bill, a sound or a spot that will not dry.
The bill is higher than last year for the same month and nobody is using more water.
A hiss or trickle in a wall or under the floor when nothing in the house is on.
A hot water line leaking under the floor warms the spot above it, often in one patch.
Grass that stays wet or grows faster along one line can mean a leaking water service line.
Water spots on ceilings or drywall, bubbling paint or a smell that keeps coming back.
Pressure drops at every fixture at once, not just one faucet.
It takes 30 minutes, costs nothing and tells you whether water is escaping somewhere in your plumbing.
Call (336) 784-40141
Turn off every faucet, appliance and the irrigation.
2
Write down the meter reading or watch the leak indicator dial.
3
Wait 30 minutes without using any water, then check again.
If the meter moved, water is leaking somewhere between the meter and your fixtures. Call us and we will find where.
How we find it
We trace the leak to one spot before anything is opened. That keeps the repair small and the patch-up smaller.
Ground microphones pick up the sound water makes escaping a pressurized pipe, through concrete, soil and flooring.
A thermal camera shows the warm or cool trail a leaking line leaves in floors, walls and ceilings.
We isolate each line and watch the pressure, so we know which pipe is leaking before we look for where.
A camera on a cable shows the inside of drain and sewer lines, cracks, roots and all.
We open only the floor, wall or yard where the leak is, not rooms of flooring to go looking for it.
How it works
1
Call or send your details. We ask about the bill, the sounds and the spots, then book a time.
2
Your technician isolates the lines, pressure tests, listens and marks the exact spot.
3
We show you where the leak is and your repair options, with the price, before any work starts.
4
We open just the marked spot, fix the pipe and test the line again before we leave.
Where leaks hide
Every kind of leak needs a different test. These are the ones we are called for most.
Most Triad homes sit over a crawlspace, the rest on a concrete slab. Either way we find the leak and repair it through one opening.
The water service line from the meter to your house. We find the leak, then dig to it or replace the line trenchless.
Water service line replacement
Supply lines to bathrooms, kitchens and upstairs laundry rooms leak out of sight for months.
Shell cracks, skimmers, lights and underground pool plumbing, found without draining the pool.
Pool leak detection and repair
Roots, cracks and separated joints found on camera, then repaired, lined or replaced.
Sewer line replacement
Supply lines, shutoff valves and water heater connections that drip into cabinets and floors.

Before you book
It depends on the kind of leak and how many lines need testing, and you hear the price before we start. Pinpointing the leak usually costs less than opening floors and walls to hunt for it.
Many policies cover the cost of opening the floor or wall to reach a sudden leak, even when they do not pay for the pipe itself. We show you exactly where the leak is so you can give your adjuster the details.
Only at the spot we mark. We find the leak first, so the opening goes straight to it instead of across the room.
Often, yes. Winston-Salem and Greensboro both review high bills after a leak is repaired, and Winston-Salem asks for a plumber’s receipt. We give you one that shows where the leak was and what we fixed.

FAQ
Still not sure what you need? Call and ask. We will tell you straight whether it needs a visit.
Common signs are a water bill that jumps for no reason, soggy or unusually green spots in the yard, the sound of running water when nothing is on, and damp or warm spots on floors and walls. If you notice any of these, schedule leak detection before the damage spreads.
