Leak Detection Methods & Prevention Tips for Santa Rosa
Hidden water leaks in Santa Rosa are costly because they travel silently through walls and slabs. We combine
technology and craftsmanship to locate the problem precisely and stop the damage before it spreads.
Older bungalows and mid‑century homes benefit from proactive valve and supply line upgrades.
Townhomes and condos with shared walls need clean, low‑impact detection techniques.
Five clues you may have a hidden leak:
1. Water meter movement even when all fixtures are closed.
2. Unexplained spikes on your water bill despite normal use.
3. Efflorescence or damp lines on foundation walls.
4. Mildew odors or persistent humidity in specific rooms.
5. Warm spots on floors or damp carpet over slab areas.
Why leaks happen:
- Worn angle stops, supply lines, and toilet fill valves.
- Old galvanized piping rusting from the inside out.
- Aging copper with pinhole corrosion from water chemistry.
- Improperly crimped PEX fittings or degraded rubber washers.
How we find the exact source without guesswork:
- Thermal imaging to find temperature anomalies around hot‑water lines.
- Acoustic listening to locate pressurized leaks behind walls and under slabs.
- Borescope or camera inspection to distinguish supply leaks from drain issues.
- Pressure testing of isolated branches to confirm breaks without demolition.
Prevention plan for peace of mind:
- Schedule an annual whole‑home plumbing check to catch small issues early.
- Replace old angle stops and braided supplies proactively.
- Keep water pressure in spec with a functional pressure‑reducing valve (PRV).
- Know where your main shut‑off is and make sure it turns easily.
Case snapshot (Santa Rosa): A homeowner noticed a warm floor patch near the hallway. Thermal imaging confirmed

— all in one day.
