Our water leak detection services in Antelope, CA include everything you need to protect your home from water damage. We handle visible leaks like dripping faucets and running toilets, but our real expertise shines with hidden leaks that can cause serious damage before you even know they exist.
Sacramento County homes face unique challenges. The area’s older housing stock often has original plumbing that’s more susceptible to leaks. Tree roots from mature landscaping can infiltrate sewer lines. Mineral-heavy water can cause buildup that leads to pipe failures over time.
We come prepared for these local conditions. Our service vehicles are stocked with parts for older systems, and our technicians understand how to work with existing infrastructure rather than automatically recommending expensive full replacements. Whether it’s a slab leak under your foundation, a hidden pipe leak behind your bathroom wall, or a main line issue in your yard, we have the tools and experience to solve it efficiently.
Water leak detection in Antelope, CA typically costs between $150-400 for most residential situations. The exact price depends on the complexity of your plumbing system and how difficult the leak is to locate.
Simple leaks in visible areas like under sinks or around toilets are on the lower end of this range. Hidden leaks behind walls, under slabs, or in underground pipes require more advanced equipment and time, which increases the cost. However, this investment pays for itself quickly when you consider that undetected leaks can waste thousands of gallons of water and cause extensive structural damage.
We always provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying before we begin. Many homeowners find that professional leak detection actually saves them money by preventing the much higher costs of water damage repairs.
The most common sign is an unexplained increase in your water bill. If your usage habits haven’t changed but your bill keeps climbing, you likely have a hidden leak somewhere in your system.
Other warning signs include the sound of running water when all fixtures are turned off, damp or discolored spots on walls and ceilings, musty odors that could indicate hidden moisture, and areas of your yard that stay unusually green or soggy. In bathrooms, look for loose tiles, peeling paint, or warped flooring near tubs and showers.
Don’t ignore these signs hoping they’ll resolve themselves. Small leaks become big problems quickly, and the longer you wait, the more expensive the repairs become. Early detection and repair can save you thousands in water damage restoration costs.
Yes, our advanced leak detection equipment allows us to locate most leaks without any destructive investigation. We use electronic listening devices, thermal imaging cameras, and specialized moisture meters that can detect water behind walls and under floors.
These non-invasive methods are accurate and efficient. In most cases, we can pinpoint the exact location of a leak and determine the best access point for repairs with minimal disruption to your home. When we do need to make access holes, they’re small and strategic—nothing like the extensive demolition that used to be required for leak detection.
This approach saves you time, money, and the hassle of major reconstruction. You get your leak fixed with minimal impact on your daily routine, and your home stays intact during the repair process.

Most leak detection takes 1-3 hours, depending on the complexity of your plumbing system and how hidden the leak is. Simple, visible leaks can often be located within 30 minutes, while hidden leaks in walls or under slabs may take longer to pinpoint precisely.
Repair time varies based on the type and location of the leak. A leaking faucet or toilet connection might be fixed in under an hour. More complex repairs, like replacing a section of pipe behind a wall or under a slab, can take several hours or may require a return visit if special parts need to be ordered.
We always give you a realistic timeframe before starting work, and we keep you updated if we discover additional issues that might extend the repair time. Our goal is to get your plumbing working properly with minimal disruption to your schedule.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies in California cover water damage from sudden, accidental leaks—like a burst pipe or water heater failure. However, they typically don’t cover damage from gradual leaks that develop over time due to poor maintenance or normal wear and tear.
The key is the suddenness of the event. If a pipe bursts and floods your bathroom, that’s usually covered. If a slow leak behind your shower wall causes damage over months, that may not be covered. Insurance also generally doesn’t cover the cost of finding the leak or repairing the plumbing itself—just the resulting property damage.
This is why early leak detection is so important. Finding and fixing leaks quickly not only prevents damage but also ensures that any damage that does occur is more likely to be covered by your insurance policy. We can work with your insurance company and provide documentation of our findings when needed for your claim.
