Leak Detection & Water Line Repair

We find hidden leaks in risers, mains and supply lines and repair the water service behind them.

What It Is

Leaks in a commercial building can hide inside walls, under slabs or along buried service lines. We locate them, repair the line, and hand your building engineer documentation they can file.

Signs You Need It

  • A water bill that spikes without explanation
  • Damp walls, ceilings or floors
  • Low pressure on upper floors
  • Water pooling outside near the service line

What To Expect

We confirm the leak, locate it with electronic equipment, and explain what the repair involves before anything is opened. Work is scheduled around your occupancy where we can.

    • Acoustic leak location
    • Marking the leak location
    • Documentation of findings

    • Unexplained increase in water use
    • Damp spots or stains on walls and ceilings

    Water Service Line Repair

    The service line brings water from the street into your building. We repair breaks and replace failing sections to restore steady supply.

    • Low pressure throughout the building

    Risers & Mains

    Risers and mains feed every floor and fixture in the building. We repair leaks and worn sections so the whole system holds pressure.


    What's included

    • Inspection of risers and mains

    • Valve replacement where needed
    • Pressure test

    Usage Spike Investigation

    A sudden jump in water use is often the first sign of a hidden leak. We check the meter, isolate zones and track down where the water is going.


    What's included

    • Meter testing
    • Isolating building zones
    • Checking fixtures and equipment for leaks
    • Summary of what we found
