Water Leak Detection Done Rite plumber locating a water leak under a sink

Tucson Water Leak Detection

Most water leaks in a Tucson home are heard before they are seen, and by the time there is a mark on the wall the water has been travelling for a while.

Done Rite Services locates hidden leaks with acoustic and thermal equipment, including slab and underground lines. We find the spot first, so the repair opens one place instead of several.

Acoustic Detection Acoustic leak detection ground microphone and amplifier laid out on a floor

How We Find a Hidden Water Leak

Water escaping under pressure makes a sound. Acoustic equipment picks that sound up through slab, soil and wall, and narrows it to a point rather than a room.

We use a Sewerin Aquaphon A200 ground microphone for underground and slab work. It is the difference between opening one square of floor and opening the whole run to find out where the water is coming from.

Warning Signs Water dripping from a corroded outdoor pipe at a Tucson home

The Signs of a Hidden Leak in a Tucson Home

A water bill that has climbed with no change in use, a meter that keeps moving with every tap shut off, a warm patch on the floor, or the sound of running water in a quiet house.

Damp on a wall, paint that has started to lift, or a musty smell in one room usually means the leak has been running a while and something behind the surface is already wet.

Slab Leaks and Underground Water Leaks

A slab leak is a supply line failing under the concrete. It shows up as a warm spot on the floor, damp at the edge of a room, or an unexplained bill, and it does not get better on its own.

Thermal imaging finds the heat plume a hot line leaves under tile, and acoustic equipment pinpoints it. Between them we can usually mark the spot before anything is cut.

Acting Early Plumber tracing a water leak under a sink in Tucson

Why Finding a Leak Early Costs Less

Water travels along framing and under flooring, and the damage carries on long after the leak itself is fixed. A repair to one fitting becomes drywall, flooring and sometimes a mould problem.

Detection is the cheap part. We would rather come out and find it was a fixture than be called back to something structural a month later.

Why Water Leak Detection

The Leaks We Are Called Out For Most

Leaking Faucets and Fixtures
The visible ones, and the easiest to put off. A dripping faucet wastes more than it appears to, and the cause is usually a worn cartridge or seat rather than the fixture itself.
We repair the fixture where that is worth doing, and say so when it is not.
Toilets That Run
A toilet leaking internally leaves no mark on the floor and makes no sound you would notice. It shows up only on the bill, and it can run for months.
The cause is nearly always the flapper or the fill valve, both quick to put right once the leak is confirmed.
Showers and Tubs
Bathroom leaks often appear in the room below or on the other side of the wall rather than in the bathroom, which is what makes them hard to place.
A leaking valve behind tile, a failed pan, or a supply connection can all present the same way, and they need locating before anything is opened up.

Our Process

How We Handle Your Tucson Water Leak Detection

Diagnosis

Checking a water meter for a hidden leak in Tucson

Step 01

Confirming There Is a Leak

We start at the meter with every fixture shut off. If it is still moving, water is going somewhere, and that settles whether we are looking for a leak at all.

Isolating sections narrows it to supply, irrigation or waste before any equipment comes out.

Locating

Pinpointing a concealed water leak behind a wall in Tucson

Step 02

Pinpointing the Location

Acoustic equipment and thermal imaging narrow it from a section of the house to a spot. That is the whole purpose of detection: to open one place rather than several.

We mark it and show you what we found before anything is cut.

The Repair Completing a water leak repair in a Tucson home

Step 03

Repair and Recheck

Once the leak is located we repair it, and you get that price before the work starts. Our plumbers are licensed, bonded and insured.

Then the meter goes back under observation with everything shut off, which is how you know there was one leak and not two.

Customer Testimonials

Tucson Trusts Done Rite

“After numerous quotes and inspections, I decided to contract with Done Rite for a new HVAC system on my 114 year old house, which never had a central air conditioning system, only evaporative cooling. I was a bit nervous about drilling holes through plaster and lath ceilings to accommodate new vents and returns. From start to finish, these guys were amazing! This was not a cookie cutter project and they handled it with ease. Big shout out to Marcos and Brandon, etc., and to Jordan for taking the time to explain and suggest a superb system for my home.”

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?

Shut every fixture off and watch the water meter. If it keeps moving, water is escaping somewhere. A bill that has climbed with no change in use, a warm patch on the floor, or damp on a wall are the other common signs.

Can you find a leak without breaking anything?

That is the point of detection. Acoustic equipment and thermal imaging locate the leak first, so the repair opens one place rather than several.

What is a slab leak?

A supply line failing under the concrete slab. It usually shows as a warm spot on the floor, damp at the edge of a room, or an unexplained bill, and it will not resolve on its own.

How much does water leak detection cost?

It depends on the property and how much has to be isolated to narrow it down. You get the price for detection before we start, and a separate price for the repair once we know what it is.

Do you offer emergency leak detection?

Yes. We answer 24 hours a day, every day. If water is escaping and you cannot shut it off, treat it as an emergency and call rather than book online.

Could my leak be irrigation rather than plumbing?

Often it is. Isolating the irrigation line is one of the first checks we run, because an underground irrigation leak produces the same bill and the same wet ground as a supply leak.
