Leak Detection in Houston, TX
Hidden leaks waste water, spike your bills, and quietly damage your foundation. Houston Plumbing Services ® finds the source fast using infrared cameras, ultrasonic sonar, and acoustic equipment — no unnecessary digging or guesswork.
Find the Leak Before It Finds Your Foundation
Most water leaks in Houston homes are hidden — buried under slabs, behind walls, or underground between the meter and the house. By the time you see a stain or a sky-high water bill, the damage is already underway. Our licensed plumbers use infrared thermal cameras, ultrasonic sonar, and electronic acoustic equipment to locate the exact spot, so the repair is targeted, clean, and affordable.
As a family-owned company led by owner Leonard Papa, Houston Plumbing Services ® treats your home like our own — we protect your floors, explain what we find, and never recommend work you don't need.
Why early detection pays off
- A 1/8-inch crack can leak 250+ gallons a day
- Undetected slab leaks lead to costly foundation repair
- Hidden moisture breeds mold within 24–48 hours
- Pinpointing the source means a smaller, cheaper repair
Signs You May Have a Hidden Leak
If you notice any of these, it's time for a professional leak detection visit.
Rising Water Bills
An unexplained jump in your monthly bill is the #1 sign of a leak running somewhere out of sight.
Sound of Running Water
Hearing water move when every fixture is off usually means a line is leaking inside a wall or slab.
Warm Spots on the Floor
A hot patch on your floor can signal a leak in a hot-water line beneath the foundation.
Stains & Warping
Water stains on ceilings or walls, peeling paint, or buckling floors point to moisture behind the surface.
Mold or Musty Odor
A persistent musty smell or visible mildew means water is collecting where you can't see it.
Low Water Pressure
A sudden drop in pressure can mean water is escaping the line before it reaches your faucets.

What Leak Detection Actually Looks Like
Leak Detection FAQs
How do you find a leak without tearing up my house?
We use non-invasive tools — infrared thermal cameras, ultrasonic sonar, electronic acoustic listening equipment, and in-pipe video inspection — to locate the leak precisely before any work begins. That means a small, targeted repair instead of opening up walls or floors to "go looking."
How much does leak detection cost?
Our leak detection visit is a flat $99, which covers locating the source of the leak. Any repairs are quoted separately and billed in addition to the $99 detection fee — and you'll always get clear, upfront pricing before any repair work begins. Call (713) 231-3309 to schedule.
Do you offer emergency leak detection?
Yes. Burst pipes, gas leaks, and major water leaks won't wait until morning. We offer 24/7 emergency service across Greater Houston — call or text us any time at (713) 231-3309.
What is a slab leak and is it serious?
A slab leak is a leak in the water lines running beneath your home's concrete foundation. Left unchecked, it can damage your foundation, flooring, and lead to mold. Early detection keeps the repair small and protects your home's structure.
I smell gas — what should I do?
Leave the area immediately, avoid switching anything electrical on or off, and call your gas utility and 911 if the smell is strong. Once it's safe, call us at (713) 231-3309 for professional gas leak detection and code-compliant repair.
