Plumbing Leak Detection & Repair in Tyler, TX
Plumbing leak detection is the wide-angle version of everything we do. Sometimes you know the toilet is the problem. Sometimes all you have is a bill that doubled and no idea where the water went. This is where we start when the leak has not announced itself yet.
Prefer to talk first? Call (903) 651-5125 and describe what you are seeing.
When you cannot tell where it is coming from
A hidden leak in a Tyler home can sit almost anywhere: a supply line in a wall, a drain under the slab, a fixture that runs in the night, a yard line below the grass. The symptom is often just a higher bill or a damp spot with no clear source. The first job is to confirm a leak exists and then narrow the field.
The 60-second meter test does the confirming. Shut off every fixture, watch the meter, and if it keeps moving, water is escaping somewhere in the system. From that single fact we work outward, room by room and line by line, until the field is small enough to pinpoint.
The full detection toolkit
Because a whole-home leak could be anything, we bring the whole kit. Acoustic listening for pressurized supply lines, tracer gas for the slow and silent ones, thermal imaging for hot-water leaks behind a surface, and a video camera for the drains. We pick the tool to fit what the symptoms suggest.
Tyler's housing stock spans more than a century, from the pre-1950 homes near University Place and the older north and west sides to the newest builds along the edges of town. An older home with galvanized supply gets read differently than a recent slab with PEX, and the toolkit covers both.
Repairing whatever we find
Once the source is identified, the repair matches the failure. A bad fixture or fitting is a quick fix. A failed supply line is a spot repair or, where the line is shot, a reroute. A cracked drain may call for trenchless lining. We hand you the findings and the cost for each before any work begins.
The principle holds across all of it: find the leak precisely, then open only what the repair truly needs. That keeps the patch small and the bill honest, whether the leak turned out to be a slab line or a worn-out valve.
Narrowing a mystery leak down
When the leak has not announced itself, the work is mostly about elimination. After the meter confirms water is escaping, we split the system. Shutting the valve at the water heater tells us in one move whether the loss is on the hot side or the cold. Closing off the irrigation tells us whether the leak is even inside the house.
Each of those splits cuts the field roughly in half, and a few of them turn a whole-home mystery into a single suspect line. Only then do the detection tools come out, aimed at the zone the elimination pointed to rather than swept blindly across the house. It is the difference between an afternoon and a guess.
Some leaks are worth stopping before we arrive. A line spraying inside a wall or a fixture flooding a floor calls for the main shutoff first and the phone second. If you are not sure where your main is, the call to (903) 651-5125 can walk you to it while help is on the way.

☎ (903) 651-5125Questions Tyler homeowners ask
I just know my bill doubled. Can you still find the leak?
That is exactly where this service starts. We confirm the leak with a meter test, then narrow it down with acoustic, tracer gas, thermal, and camera tools until we have the spot.
Do you handle every type of leak?
We do. Slab, foundation, pool, sewer, water heater, pipe, fixture, and yard lines all route through the same detection-first approach and the same number.
What does the first visit cost?
It depends on what the leak turns out to need, and you hear the number before any work begins. Call (903) 651-5125 and we will walk you through what to expect.
Should I shut my water off before you arrive?
If a line is actively spraying or flooding, yes, close the main and then call. For a slow leak or a high bill with no visible water, leave it on so the system is still under pressure when we run the detection.
