Leak Detection in San Diego

Find Hidden Leaks Before They Cause Major Damage

Protect Your Home with Professional Leak Detection

Hidden leaks can quietly cause thousands of dollars in damage before you ever see a drop. At LGE Prime Plumbing, we use advanced leak detection technology to pinpoint problems inside walls, under slabs, and throughout your plumbing system — so you can stop water damage at the source. As a trusted family-owned team serving all of San Diego, we’ll give you honest answers and fast solutions to keep your home safe.

How We Find Hidden Water Leaks

At LGE Prime Plumbing, we don’t rely on guesswork or unnecessary demolition. We use advanced, non-invasive leak detection tools combined with years of local plumbing experience to accurately locate leaks — whether they’re behind walls, under floors, or buried beneath your slab. That means less damage, faster solutions, and more money saved.

 

  • Thermal Imaging: Spots temperature changes caused by hidden water leaks inside walls and floors.

  • Acoustic Listening Devices: Amplify the subtle sounds of water escaping under pressure so we can pinpoint leaks without opening up your home.

  • Pressure Testing: Helps isolate leaks in your plumbing lines by monitoring for drops.

  • Moisture Meters: Identify damp spots that could signal leaks long before mold or structural issues set in.

 

With these methods, we can zero in on leaks quickly, recommend the best repair options, and keep your home protected from costly water damage.

Stop Hidden Leaks Before They Wreck Your Home

A small, unseen leak can lead to major headaches — from mold to foundation damage. With our advanced tools and honest local team, you’ll get answers fast and protect what matters most.

Signs You Might Have a Hidden Leak

Not all plumbing leaks are obvious. In fact, some of the most damaging ones stay hidden for weeks or months, quietly racking up water bills and threatening your home’s structure. Watch for these warning signs — and if you spot any, give our team a call right away.

 

  • Unexpectedly high water bills without extra usage. Unstable pressure can also strain your pipes. Learn how our water pressure regulator services keep your system safe.

  • Damp spots on walls, ceilings, or floors

  • Warm areas on your floor (often a sign of a hot water slab leak)

  • Mildew, moldy smells, or peeling paint

  • Hearing water running when no fixtures are on

  • Cracks in your walls or flooring

  • You can also find leak detection tips on the City of San Diego water site.

 

The sooner we find and fix a hidden leak, the more you can avoid expensive repairs down the road. Our advanced leak detection means you won’t have to tear up your home just to find the problem.

Types of Leaks We Locate

Not every leak shows up as a puddle on the floor. At LGE Prime Plumbing, we’re equipped to find and diagnose all kinds of hidden plumbing leaks, including:

 

  • Slab leaks under your concrete foundation that can cause warm spots, cracked tiles, or unexplained water use

  • Leaks inside walls and ceilings that lead to mold, peeling paint, and structural damage

  • Outdoor and irrigation line leaks that drive up water bills and erode your yard

  • Hot water line leaks that waste energy and make your floors strangely warm

  • Pipe leaks under driveways or patios, where you’d never spot them until it’s too late

 

No matter where the problem hides, our advanced detection tools help us zero in fast — without tearing your property apart.

OUR LEAK DETECTION PROCESS

We make finding leaks simple and as stress-free as possible. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Listen & Inspect

We start by understanding your symptoms — high bills, damp areas, strange sounds — and do a visual check as well as check your water meter.

2. Deploy advanced tools

Thermal imaging, acoustic sensors, moisture meters, and pressure tests help us locate the exact source if a water leak is confirmed but not visible.

3. Pinpoint & explain

We’ll give you straightforward options for repair based on the severity and location of the leak— so you can stop leaks at the source and protect your home long-term .

4. Plan & protect

After the repair, we’ll help you prevent future problems with tailored recommendations — like monitoring high-risk areas, upgrading aging pipes, or installing leak detectors. 

When to Call for Leak Detection

If you notice any of these, don’t wait — the sooner we find the leak, the less damage (and cost) you’ll face:

 

  • Water bills keep rising without reason

  • Mold, musty odors, or peeling paint

  • Warm or damp spots on floors or carpets

  • Hearing water running when everything is off

  • Tiny foundation cracks that are starting to grow

 

Leaks rarely fix themselves. Our expert team is here to find the problem fast and give you peace of mind.
