Leak Detection pricing

A third-party leak-locating team helps find the source. We explain the locating visit and price any plumbing repair separately.

Planning guide updated

Choose the right comparison

What kind of work do you need?

Compare the scope that fits your situation. Buying the equipment yourself changes what is included in an installation price. Access and any additional work still need to be checked.

Additional assessment or access work

Written estimate

Confirm the scope in your written estimate

Work outside the agreed third-party locating visit needs its own scope. We explain any added testing or access before you approve it.

Service FAQ

Does leak detection include fixing the pipe?

The investigation and the repair are separate scopes. Once we understand the problem, we explain the repair and any access work before you approve it.

Is the detection charge credited toward the repair?

Ask us when we prepare your estimate. This planning guide does not promise an automatic credit or waiver.

Can every leak be found in one visit?

Some leaks are straightforward. Others need more testing because the source is hidden or the symptoms come and go. We explain what the agreed investigation covers and discuss any next step with you.
