Employing state-of-the-art technologies, our experienced IICRC-certified technicians can detect leaks in various settings, including within walls, beneath floors, and even underground. We utilize several effective methods for leak detection, including:

1. Thermal Imaging :  Infrared cameras allow our technicians to identify temperature variations that indicate water leaks, inspecting walls, ceilings, and floors for anomalies.
2. Moisture Meters:  Measuring the moisture content of materials is essential; elevated levels can suggest concealed leaks, making this method a standard practice for detection.
3. Pressure Testing: By isolating sections of the plumbing system and pressurizing the pipes, we can detect pressure drops that signal leaks.
4. Acoustic Leak Detection: Using microphones and listening devices, our specialists can capture sounds of water escaping from pipes, allowing us to locate leaks effectively.

Recognizing the warning signs of a leak is vital for timely intervention. Homeowners should be vigilant for:

1. Water Staining:  Look for discoloration or damp patches under sinks, around toilets, and close to major appliances.
2. Unusual Water Usage: Monitor your water bill and meter for any unexplained increases in consumption.
3. Acoustic Noises:  Pay attention to any sounds of running or dripping water when appliances are not in use.
4. Damp & Musty Odors: A persistent musty smell, especially in areas like basements, can denote hidden moisture.
5. Mold Growth: The presence of mold indicates excessive moisture, often stemming from a leak.

If you notice any of these signs, it's crucial to contact a local leak detection company, such as First Response Restoration, for a thorough inspection.
