Leak Detection Problems We Handle in Perris
High Water Bill
A bill that climbs without a change in household use is a common leak indicator.

With every fixture off, your meter should sit still. If it keeps moving, water is flowing somewhere.

Wet yard spots or a soft floor can point to a leak in a slab or underground line.

We check visible plumbing and fixtures first before bringing out equipment.
Acoustic listening picks up the sound of water escaping under pressure.
Pressure testing isolates a section of plumbing and checks whether it holds.
Thermal imaging supports acoustic findings on hot-water line leaks.
Slab, Wall and Underground Leaks in Perris

We explain what we found and the repair options available.
Cost Factors
How many diagnostic methods are needed, accessibility, and whether the leak is under a slab or underground all affect cost.
Permits & Utilities
The City of Perris Building Division issues plumbing permits; a water-main break under a public street may also involve City Engineering. Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) provides water and wastewater service here; requirements shift by address.

Leak Detection FAQs — Perris
How do you find a leak without digging up my yard?
We start with non-destructive methods — acoustic listening, pressure testing and moisture meters — before any digging or wall-opening.
What if the leak is under my slab?
Slab leaks are found using acoustic listening, pressure testing and thermal imaging together.
How much does leak detection cost in Perris?
Cost depends on how many methods are needed and how accessible the area is.
Can a high water bill mean I have a leak with no visible water?
Yes — many leaks, especially under a slab, never produce a visible puddle indoors.
Do you repair the leak once you find it?
We explain what we found and the options available; you decide how to proceed.
What should I do right now if I suspect a leak?
Locate your main shutoff, move belongings away from damp areas, and avoid standing water near electrical equipment.
