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.

Small repairs usually do not, but reroutes, repipes and main line replacements often do. Requirements vary by city and county. We take care of any permits needed.

If you suspect a gas leak, right away evacuate everyone from the property, do not use any electrical devices, and call your gas utility company and HNV Plumbing from a safe location. Gas leaks are extremely dangerous and require immediate professional attention.
Older galvanized steel pipes are prone to corrosion, and some older polybutylene pipes are known for premature failure. However, even modern materials like copper or PEX can leak due to improper installation, high water pressure or foundation movement.
Older homes may have galvanized steel or polybutylene pipes, both known for higher leak rates due to corrosion or material degradation. Copper pipes can develop pinhole leaks over time, while PVC and PEX are usually more reliable but can still leak at fittings or due to installation errors.
