Find hidden leaks before they ruin walls, floors, or foundations.
A water stain, a spike in the bill, or the sound of running water when everything is off can mean a leak inside a wall, under a slab, or underground. Attaboy Plumbing locates the source with listening equipment, pressure testing, and camera inspection.
How we locate leaks without tearing the house apart
Not every leak announces itself with a puddle. Some show up as warm spots on a slab, damp drywall, mold in a corner, or a water bill that climbs for no obvious reason. Attaboy Plumbing uses electronic leak detection, acoustic listening devices, pressure-drop testing, and thermal clues to narrow the search before any wall or floor is opened.
For slab leaks, we listen along the concrete and trace the pipe path to find the strongest signal. For wall leaks, we inspect fixtures, valves, and visible piping, then use moisture meters and cameras if needed. For service lines running from the meter to the house, we isolate the main and confirm whether the leak is on the customer side or the utility side so you know who to call next.
Once we locate the leak, we explain the repair options: spot repair through a small access, reroute through an easier path, or repipe a problem branch if the line is aging. The goal is the smallest disruption that gives a lasting fix.
If you suspect a hidden leak, schedule detection before the damage spreads. Call (530) 405-9708 or book online.
