Welcome to Fast Plumbing & Services
Most water damage doesn’t start with a flood — it starts with a small leak inside a wall, under a slab, or behind a shower pan that runs for weeks before anyone notices. By the time it’s visible, drywall, flooring, or a foundation may already be affected, and insurance claims for gradual, undetected leaks are often denied or reduced compared to sudden-damage claims. Finding the leak early, with acoustic and thermal detection rather than guesswork, is the difference between a repair and a renovation.
Hidden leaks rarely show up as an obvious puddle. Watch for:
Guessing where to open a wall isn’t a strategy — it’s expensive drywall repair with no guarantee we’ve found the source. We use acoustic listening equipment to hear the sound water makes escaping a pressurized line, thermal imaging to spot temperature differences a hot water leak creates behind walls and under flooring, and pressure testing to isolate which line on the property is losing pressure. For slab leaks specifically, we combine acoustic and line-tracing equipment to pinpoint the leak’s location within a foot or two before any concrete is touched.
The repair approach depends entirely on where the leak is:
FAQsEven if you see the signs of leaks, such as dripping water, damp spots, persistent smell, etc., you can’t estimate the severity of the issue. To confirm the issue and resolve it later, it becomes essential to hire a professional leak detection service.
It depends. The leak detection cost depends on the type of leak and the complexity of the job. While it costs $200 to $400 for basic leak detection, we have charged $500 to $800+ as well for complex leak detection jobs. Contact us to get a free estimate!
Yes. Water leaks can be dangerous, especially in the long run. It can weaken beams, corrode metal, peel off the paint, and even damage the foundation. To prevent all these issues, it is important to get our leak detection service and resolve the issue.
There are many causes of water leaks, such as damaged/cracked pipes, loose fixture connections, broken appliance seals, tree roots intruding underground pipes, clogged drains, excessive water pressure, and the list goes on.
