Water Leak Detection in Walls & Ceilings in Moscow, ID
Water leaks behind walls or in ceilings can go unnoticed for long periods, leading to extensive drywall damage, wood rot and mold. We use non-invasive methods like moisture meters, thermal cameras and borescopes to accurately pinpoint the source of these leaks. This approach minimizes the need for destructive investigation, saving you time and money on repairs to your home's interior.
Main Water Line Leak Detection in Moscow
The service line between your meter and house can leak underground for months, especially in older galvanized or copper lines. Wet spots in the yard, oddly green grass or a sinking area near the front of the house are clues. We use line tracers to map the pipe and ground microphones to hear the leak. That keeps excavation to a small, focused hole.

Our goal is to precisely locate the source of the leak, minimizing the need for extensive repairs to your Moscow home.
