Slab Leak Detection

Bennett Leak Detection: Find It First, Then Fix It
Non-invasive leak detection and repair for homes and businesses, with the leak located before anything is opened up.
Accurate Leak Detection Without Tearing Up Your Home
A hidden leak rarely shows itself where it starts. Water travels along pipes, framing and slabs before it shows up as a stain, a warm spot on the floor or a bill that suddenly jumps.
We use acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging, moisture meters and pressure testing to narrow a leak down to a small area before we cut or dig. That keeps the repair small and the cost down.
Once the leak is found we explain what we found, what the repair involves and the price, in writing, before any work starts.
Wall & Ceiling Leaks
Stains, bubbling paint and musty smells usually trace back to a supply line, drain or fixture connection. We find the source and keep the opening small.
- Moisture mapping
- Fixture & drain checks
- Small, tidy access
Underground Lines
A soggy patch in the yard or low pressure at every tap can mean a break in the main water line. We locate the break and repair or replace the line.

High Water Bills
A bill that jumps with no change in use almost always means a hidden leak. We test the meter, fixtures and irrigation to find where the water is going.
- Meter test
- Toilet & fixture audit
- Irrigation check
Our Leak Detection Process
Five steps from the first sign of a leak to a dry, repaired line.
Step 1: Listen to the Symptoms
We ask what you have noticed — sounds of running water, warm floors, damp spots, a higher bill — and check the water meter with everything off to confirm there is a leak.
- Meter test
- History of the problem
- Fixtures checked
Step 2: Isolate the System
We separate hot from cold and inside from outside lines to narrow down which part of the plumbing is losing water.
- Hot vs cold
- Inside vs outside
- Pressure tested
Step 3: Pinpoint the Leak
Acoustic equipment, thermal imaging and moisture readings locate the leak to a small area, so only that spot needs to be opened.
- Acoustic listening
- Thermal imaging
- Moisture mapping
Step 4: Repair Options
We explain the choices — spot repair, rerouting the line or repiping a section — with a written price for each.
- Written prices
- Options compared
- You decide
Step 5: Repair & Verify
We make the repair, pressure test the line again and check the meter to confirm the leak has stopped before we leave.
- Pressure retested
- Meter confirmed
- Area cleaned up

Leak Detection FAQs
Q: How do I know if I have a hidden leak?
Common signs are a water bill that rises without explanation, the sound of running water when nothing is on, warm spots on the floor, damp or stained drywall, and a water meter that keeps moving with every fixture off.
Q: What is a slab leak?
A slab leak is a leak in a water line that runs under or inside a concrete foundation. Hot water slab leaks often show up as a warm spot on the floor; cold water ones may only show on the water bill.
Q: Will you have to tear up my floors or walls?
We locate the leak first with non-invasive equipment, so any opening is small and in the right place. In many cases rerouting the line avoids breaking into the slab at all.
Q: How long does leak detection take?
Most leak detection visits take one to three hours, depending on the size of the home and how many lines need to be tested.
Q: Does homeowners insurance cover leak repair?
Many policies cover water damage from a sudden leak and sometimes the cost of accessing the pipe, but not always the pipe repair itself. We can provide documentation of what we found for your claim.
Q: Can a small leak really raise my water bill that much?
Yes. A leak running constantly under a slab or in a supply line can waste thousands of gallons a month, and it keeps running day and night.
