What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is Electronic Leak Detection (Non-Invasive)?
Electronic leak detection uses specialized tools to listen, measure, and scan for leak signatures without immediately cutting into walls or jackhammering slabs. Depending on the situation, this may include:
Acoustic listening equipment to “hear” pressurized leaks in lines under slab or behind walls
Thermal/temperature sensing to spot unusual warm or cool patterns that suggest hidden water
Pressure testing and isolation to narrow down which line or area is failing
Moisture detection to understand the spread and concentration of water inside materials
“Non-invasive” means we start with external, non-destructive tools and tests—and only recommend accessing the pipe (cutting or opening surfaces) once we’ve narrowed down the location as much as realistically possible.
Why Choose Active Plumbing
Non-invasive methods first: We prioritize electronic and visual diagnostics before suggesting opening walls or floors.
Slab & hidden leak experience: Familiar with Las Vegas slab homes, older piping, and common concealed leak patterns.
Repair-minded, not just detection: Once we locate the leak, we can present repair options—not just hand you a report.
Documentation for insurance: We can provide written findings to support conversations with restoration companies or insurers.
Local conditions aware: We understand Las Vegas soil, slabs, water pressure, and hard water effects on plumbing systems.
Licensed & insured: Nevada License #0047021, trusted for electronic leak detection and repair.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
If you see active water pooling or hear hissing, shut off the main water valve if you can do so safely.
Note where you see signs of moisture: wet flooring, warm spots, stains, bubbling paint, or mold/mildew smells.
Take photos of affected areas (floors, walls, ceilings, baseboards) to document changes over time.
Check your most recent water bills for unusual spikes in usage.
Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357 and say you need non-invasive electronic leak detection—tell us if you suspect a slab leak, wall leak, or general hidden leak.
Common Hidden Leak Situations We See
Warm or damp spots on tile, carpet, or hardwood with no visible pipe above
Sudden water bill spikes without obvious usage changes
Mold, mildew, or musty odors in one corner of a room
Ceiling stains or bubbling paint beneath upstairs bathrooms or lines
Water seeping at the base of walls or where flooring meets the wall
Slab leaks causing hot floors, cracks, or isolated wet spots
Areas that never fully dry out even with fans or dehumidifiers
If you feel like you’re chasing a mystery leak, electronic leak detection can help you stop guessing.
Call & Symptom Review
You call (702) 438-3357 and explain what you’re seeing—wet spots, sounds, odors, bill spikes, or temperature changes. We ask some targeting questions and schedule an inspection.
On-Site Evaluation & Visual Assessment
We walk the property, noting suspect areas, plumbing layouts, fixture locations, and slab vs. raised areas, and review any prior repair attempts or documentation you have.
Non-Invasive Testing & Electronic Scanning
We use electronic leak detection tools (such as acoustic listening equipment, temperature/thermal checks, moisture readings, and pressure tests) to narrow down the likely leak area and line—prioritizing methods that do not open walls or floors.
Line Isolation & Confirmation
We may isolate specific lines or zones (hot vs. cold, different fixture groups) to confirm which piping run or fixture is the source, refining our location as much as conditions allow.
Findings & Repair Options
Once we’ve identified the most probable leak location and cause, we explain our findings in plain language and outline repair options—for example, spot repair, rerouting, or full line replacement—and where, if anywhere, small access openings will be needed.
Documentation, Coordination & Next Steps
We can provide notes on what we found and recommended repairs, helpful if you’re working with restoration companies, insurance, or a GC. If you choose, we can proceed with repairs or schedule them at a convenient time.
What’s Included
On-site inspection of affected areas and plumbing layout
Non-invasive electronic leak detection testing, tailored to your situation
Line isolation and pressure testing where appropriate to narrow down location
Identification of likely leak area(s) and explanation of probable cause
Recommendations for repair options, from spot fixes to reroutes/replacements
Basic documentation of findings for your records, contractors, or insurance discussions
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Many standard electronic leak detection visits can be completed in a single appointment, though very complex cases may require multiple tests or follow-up.
You’ll receive upfront pricing for the leak detection portion before work begins; repair costs are separate and based on what we find.
Pricing factors include home size, complexity of plumbing layout, number of suspect areas, and accessibility (slab vs. raised floor, multi-story, etc.).
After detection, we provide line-item estimates for proposed repairs—so you can decide whether to move forward now or coordinate with other contractors/insurance first.
Insurance & Claims Help
Hidden leaks are often tied to insurance and restoration questions:
We can document where the leak appears to be, what line or area is affected, and recommended repair steps.
Our invoices and notes can help your adjuster or restoration contractor understand the plumbing side of the damage.
(Coverage and claim decisions always depend on your specific insurer and policy; this is not financial or legal advice.)
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
Structural damage: Prolonged leaks can weaken framing, subfloor, and slab areas, and damage finishes.
Mold and air quality issues: Persistent moisture inside walls and floors can lead to mold growth and musty odors.
Escalating water bills: A slow, unnoticed leak can quietly cost hundreds or thousands in wasted water.
Wider spread damage: Water migrates—delaying detection can mean more rooms, materials, and systems are impacted.
Bigger, more invasive repairs later: Targeted fixes are easier when the leak is found early and localized.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Non-invasive first: We lead with external electronic tools and tests before recommending any opening of surfaces.
Multiple detection methods: Acoustic listening, temperature/thermal checks, moisture readings, and pressure-based tests as appropriate.
Plumbing + building awareness: We consider how your home is built—slab, framing, finishes—when interpreting readings.
Code-conscious repair recommendations: Any suggested repairs are planned to be code-compliant and durable.
Clear communication: We explain findings in plain language, including what we’re confident about and what may need visual confirmation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you always find the exact inch where the leak is?
We can usually narrow it to a specific area or line segment. Conditions (noise, construction, soil, etc.) can affect precision, but electronic leak detection greatly reduces guesswork compared to blind demolition.
Do you have to cut into my walls or floors during leak detection?
Our focus is non-invasive methods first. If we recommend opening a specific spot, it’s only after we’ve used external tools to narrow it down as far as practical.
Is this only for slab leaks?
No. We use non-invasive methods for slab leaks, wall and ceiling leaks, and other hidden piping leaks where the source isn’t obvious.
What if another company already tried and failed to find the leak?
We can still help. We’ll ask what was done, then perform our own evaluation and electronic testing, and explain what we see and recommend.
Can you also fix the leak once you find it?
Yes. We not only detect leaks, we also perform the plumbing repairs, from spot fixes to reroutes or repipes, depending on what’s best for your situation.
