We’ve been serving Ione and Amador County for years, and we understand the unique challenges local homes face. From older properties with aging pipes to newer constructions with modern systems, we’ve seen it all.
Our licensed technicians are background-checked, drug-tested, and trained on the latest leak detection technology. We’re not just another plumbing company—we’re your neighbors who care about protecting your biggest investment.
We know California homes face more water damage than anywhere else in the country. That’s why we’ve built our reputation on finding leaks fast and fixing them right the first time, so you don’t have to worry about the same problem coming back.
First, we listen to your concerns and inspect the obvious areas. We check your water meter, examine visible pipes, and look for signs like water stains, soft spots, or unusual sounds. This gives us a starting point for the investigation.
Next, we use professional-grade equipment to find hidden leaks. Our acoustic listening devices detect the sound of water moving where it shouldn’t. Camera inspections let us see inside pipes and walls without causing damage. Thermal imaging reveals temperature differences that indicate moisture problems.
Finally, we show you exactly what we found and explain your options. You get upfront pricing before any repair work begins. Once you approve the plan, we fix the leak using quality materials and proper techniques that last. You get a warranty on our work and clear advice on preventing future problems.

Your water leak detection service includes a comprehensive inspection of your entire plumbing system. We check supply lines, drain lines, fixtures, and appliances that use water. Our equipment detects leaks in walls, under slabs, and in areas you can’t easily access.
Ione’s location in the Sierra Nevada foothills means homes deal with seasonal temperature changes that can stress plumbing systems. Older homes in the area often have galvanized pipes that are prone to corrosion and leaks. Newer properties might have installation issues or settling that creates stress points in the plumbing.
We understand these local factors and know where to look first. Our service covers everything from pinhole leaks in copper pipes to slab leaks under your foundation. You get a detailed report of our findings, photos when possible, and clear recommendations for repairs that make sense for your specific situation.
Several signs point to hidden leaks that many homeowners miss. Your water bill suddenly increases even though your usage hasn’t changed—this is often the first clue since even small leaks waste hundreds of gallons monthly.
You might notice your water pressure dropping, especially in specific areas of your home. Listen for sounds like running water when all faucets are off, or a toilet that runs constantly. Check for warm spots on floors, which can indicate hot water line leaks under slabs.
Look for visual signs like water stains on ceilings or walls, peeling paint, or soft spots in flooring. A musty smell often develops when water sits in hidden areas and creates mold growth. If you notice any of these signs, it’s worth having a professional inspection to catch the problem before it causes major damage.
DIY methods can find obvious leaks but often miss hidden problems that cause the most damage. You can check visible pipes, listen for dripping sounds, and monitor your water meter, but these techniques have serious limitations.
Professional leak detection uses specialized equipment you can’t buy at hardware stores. Acoustic listening devices amplify the sound of water moving through pipes behind walls. Electronic leak detectors identify moisture in building materials. Camera inspections show the inside of pipes without cutting them open.
The biggest difference is accuracy and prevention of unnecessary damage. DIY approaches often lead to cutting into walls or floors in the wrong spots, creating expensive repairs. Professional detection pinpoints exact locations, saving you money on restoration costs and getting your leak fixed faster with minimal disruption to your home.
For true emergencies like burst pipes or major leaks causing active damage, we prioritize same-day service and can often arrive within a few hours. Emergency situations get immediate attention because we know how quickly water damage escalates.
Non-emergency leak detection is typically scheduled within 24-48 hours based on your availability. We understand that even “minor” leaks need prompt attention since they waste water and can worsen over time.
When you call, we’ll assess the urgency of your situation and give you an honest timeframe. For active leaks causing damage, we’ll guide you through immediate steps to minimize damage while we’re on the way, like shutting off water supplies or moving belongings out of affected areas.
Modern leak detection methods are designed to find problems without causing damage to your home. We use non-invasive techniques like acoustic listening, thermal imaging, and camera inspections that work through existing access points.
Our equipment can detect leaks through walls, under floors, and behind fixtures without cutting holes. When we do need to access pipes directly, we choose the least disruptive approach and make surgical cuts in strategic locations rather than tearing apart large areas.
In most cases, you’ll be surprised how little disruption the detection process causes. We protect your floors and furnishings during the inspection and clean up thoroughly when we’re finished. The goal is to find your leak with minimal impact on your daily routine and your home’s appearance.
If our comprehensive inspection doesn’t reveal an active leak, you still get valuable information about your plumbing system’s condition. We’ll document what we checked, explain why your symptoms might be occurring, and provide recommendations for monitoring the situation.
Sometimes what seems like a leak is actually condensation, seasonal changes affecting pipes, or intermittent problems that aren’t active during our visit. We’ll give you guidance on what to watch for and when to call us back if symptoms continue or worsen.
Our inspection also serves as a preventive health check for your plumbing system. We often identify potential problems before they become leaks, giving you the option to address them proactively rather than waiting for an emergency. This approach saves money and prevents damage in the long run.
Water leak detection costs vary based on the complexity of your plumbing system and the extent of investigation needed. Simple inspections of accessible areas cost less than comprehensive searches involving specialized equipment or difficult-to-reach locations.
We provide upfront pricing after discussing your specific situation and symptoms. You’ll know the cost before we begin any work, with no surprise charges or hidden fees. Many homeowners find that professional detection pays for itself by preventing major damage and avoiding unnecessary repairs in wrong locations.
Consider that the average water damage claim costs over $13,000, while professional leak detection is a fraction of that amount. Early detection also saves money on water bills since even small leaks can waste thousands of gallons monthly. We’re happy to discuss pricing options and help you understand the value of protecting your home investment.
