What Is Leak Detection?
Professional leak detection uses specialized equipment and expert analysis to locate hidden leaks without unnecessary damage to your home. Our technicians rely on advanced diagnostic tools to find leaks behind walls, beneath flooring, within foundations, and throughout underground piping. This precise approach allows us to pinpoint the source quickly, saving time, money, and disruption.
Most leaks give no warning until the damage is done. A line under a slab or in the yard can leak for months with no sign except a water bill that keeps climbing. Inside the house, a leak behind a wall or above a ceiling can feed mold and rot before a stain ever shows. Once we locate the exact spot, we explain what the repair involves and give you a written price before any work begins.
bluefrog’s Broken Water Line Repair Procedure
Quick and Efficient Plumbing Service
Before any repairs can take place, we have to first find where the problem is. We conduct a thorough inspection to get an accurate picture of where and what the damage is. We take our time to make sure we have found the underlying cause of the problem as well.
At bluefrog, we take our time to thoroughly diagnose the damage to your pipes before we decide to perform a water line replacement. We are careful to not under or over-diagnose the problem so that you’re not paying for services you don’t need and to ensure the problem doesn’t return.
Once we’ve exposed the problem, we replace or repair your water line by relining the pipe or using the specialized hydraulic method. After the repair is complete, we examine it under pressure to make sure it is secure.

Signs of a Hidden Leak
When to Call a Plumber About a Possible Leak
A drip you can see is easy to spot. Hidden leaks are not. A water bill that keeps climbing, the sound of running water when everything is off, damp spots or stains on walls and ceilings, musty odors, or wet areas in the yard with no recent rain are all signs worth checking. Finding a leak early usually costs less than repairing the damage it causes later.
If you think you have a leak, start with your water meter. Shut off everything in the house that uses water and see whether the meter is still moving. If it is, water is escaping somewhere, even if you can’t see it yet. And if you spot active water or damage, shut off your main water valve right away to keep it from spreading, then take photos of any damp spots, stains, or odors so you have a record of what you found. After that, give us a call. The sooner we locate the source, the less there is to repair.

Signs include an unexplained rise in your water bill, the sound of running water when everything is off, damp spots or stains on walls, ceilings, or floors, a musty smell, warped flooring, and lower water pressure.
Turn off all water use, then check your water meter. If the dial or low-flow indicator is moving, water is leaking somewhere. To test a toilet, add a few drops of food coloring to the tank and wait without flushing. Color in the bowl means the toilet is leaking.
Common spots are behind walls, under floors and slabs, in ceilings below bathrooms, in crawl spaces, at water heater connections, and along the underground water line between the street and your house.
Hidden leaks keep damaging materials long before you see them. Over time they cause mold, rotted wood, damaged drywall and flooring, and higher water bills. bluefrog Plumbing Main Line can pinpoint the source so the repair stays as small as possible.
