Leak detection in Sugar Land
Find the leak before anyone cuts a hole.
We listen to your pipes, scan the floor and walls, and put a camera in the drains. You get a written report that says where the leak is, how we know and what your options are.
Three ways to look
We use the method that fits the pipe.
Most leaks need two methods before we mark a spot. The report says which ones we used.
Listening
A ground microphone on the floor and a listening rod on valves and pipes. Water escaping a pressurized pipe hisses, and it is loudest over the leak.
Best on supply lines
Traffic and air conditioners can drown it out
Thermal imaging
A thermal camera shows warm and cool patches in a floor, wall or ceiling. A leaking hot line under a slab often shows as a warm stripe.
Shows temperature, not water
We confirm with a moisture meter
Pipe camera
A small camera on a flexible cable goes into a cleanout or a drain. It shows cracks, breaks and roots in drain lines, with a footage counter.
For drain and sewer lines only
Clips and stills go in the report
A sample leak report
This is what you get in writing.
Page one of a sample report. Yours names your address, the date and your tech.
| Report line | Sample entry | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| Location | Sample entryHall bath, under the vanity, 3 ft from the tub wall. Marked on the floor plan and on the floor. | What it tells youYou can point to the spot, and so can the next plumber. |
| Method | Sample entryListening, then thermal imaging. No pipe camera: no drain line is involved. | What it tells youHow we know, and what we left out. |
| Reading | Sample entryHot-water supply line. A steady hiss over one spot; the cold line is quiet. | What it tells youWhich pipe is leaking, in plain words. |
| Photos | Sample entryFour: the mark on the floor, the thermal image, the moisture reading and a wide shot of the room. | What it tells youIf your insurer asks for photos, they are already on the page. |
| Options | Sample entryA: open the floor and repair the line. B: reroute the line overhead. C: watch it and test again. | What it tells youWhat each one fixes and what work it leaves for you. Prices come separately, in writing. |
| Checked and cleared | Sample entryKitchen supply and drain lines: no leak found. | What it tells youWhat we ruled out is on the page too. |

Do this first
Is it a leak? Read your meter.
Five minutes, no tools. It tells you whether water is going somewhere.
Turn everything off
No taps, no washer, no dishwasher, no ice maker, no sprinklers. Nobody flushes.
Look at the meter
Lift the lid of the meter box by the street. Note the dial, or the small triangle or wheel that spins when water flows.
Read it again later
Wait half an hour. If the dial moved or the triangle spun, water is running somewhere. Tell us what you saw when you call.
Water running now and you can't stop it? Close the main valve, then call a plumber with a night line.

Customers
What people wrote after a report.
“The thermal picture showed a warm stripe across the hall floor. They marked it, took photos and my adjuster asked for nothing else.”
Noemi A.First Colony, slab leak
“Water bill doubled on a four-unit building. They found the yard line in one visit and put the spot on a drawing for my plumber.”
Abelardo C.Meadows Place, property manager
“My mother reads Spanish better than English. Gabriela wrote the whole report in Spanish and she read it herself.”

Quick answers
How do I know I have a hidden leak?
The usual signs are a water bill that rose with nothing changed, a meter that moves with everything off, a warm spot on the floor, the sound of running water at night and a stain that grows. The meter check on this site takes five minutes.
Will you cut into my floor or wall?
No. Detection is done from the surface. We mark the spot and write it down. Opening a floor or wall is a separate job you decide on after you read the report.
What does a visit include?
A meter check, a survey of your pipes with the methods that fit, the marks on your floor or wall, and the written report with photos. Repairs, opening walls or slabs and restoring finishes are not part of the visit. See how pricing works.
Will I get a price before you start?
Yes. We tell you the visit fee on the phone, before anyone is scheduled. A repair price comes in writing after the report, and work starts only after you say yes.
Do you come at night or on Sundays?
No. Visits run Monday to Saturday in the hours listed on this site. If water is running now and you can't stop it, close the main valve and call a plumber with a night line. We book you for the next day.
Tell us what you've seen.
We call or text to set a time. If you can, send a photo of the meter.
