What we do

Leak detection services built for Chula Vista homes and businesses

Every building leaks differently. A 1960s Castle Park ranch home with original copper pipe fails at the slab. A new Otay Ranch build with PEX tubing fails at a fitting behind the wall. We match the tool to the problem, whether that is a 24/7 leak detection Chula Vista CA near me call at 2 a.m. or a scheduled moisture mapping walkthrough on a commercial property off Olympic Parkway.

Slab Leak Detection

Slab leaks in Chula Vista's older tracts show up as hot spots on the floor or a water bill that doubles overnight. We use acoustic listening devices and infrared cameras to hear and see the leak through the concrete, then recommend the least invasive repair path.

Pool Leak Detection

A pool losing more than two inches a week has a leak, not evaporation. We pressure test the plumbing, check the skimmer and light niche, and use dye testing to separate a shell leak from a line leak before you pay for unnecessary resurfacing.

04Plumbing Leak DetectionSupply lines, drain lines, and shutoff valves all fail eventually. Our plumbers trace hidden plumbing leaks behind drywall and under cabinets with electronic leak detection equipment, then repair the line with copper pipe, PEX tubing, or a pipe repair clamp depending on what the wall allows.↗05Gas Leak DetectionIf you smell gas, leave and call us. We respond with tracer gas detectors and Sewerin and Gutermann instruments to isolate the leak at the meter, appliance connection, or buried line, then make the repair and pressure test it before restoring service.↗06Roof Leak DetectionRoof leaks after a fall or winter storm often travel before they drip. We use moisture meters and infrared cameras to follow the water path from ceiling stain back to the actual breach, so you patch the right spot instead of the stain.↗07Foundation Leak DetectionFoundation leaks show as cracks, efflorescence, or a damp crawlspace. We map moisture across the slab and stem wall, locate the source, and separate a plumbing failure from drainage and grading issues that need a different fix.↗08Sewer Line Leak DetectionSewer line leaks announce themselves with backups, soggy patches, or odor. We run a video pipe inspection camera through the line to find root intrusion, a cracked joint, or a collapsed section, then quote the repair before we dig.↗09Irrigation System Leak DetectionA sprinkler zone that never shuts off can waste hundreds of gallons a week. We pressure test each zone, check valves and lateral lines, and locate the break so your landscaping stops flooding the sidewalk.↗10Water Heater Leak DetectionWater heater leaks come from the tank, the T&P valve, or a fitting. We check all three, confirm whether the tank is done, and handle the replacement or repair the same day so you get hot water back.↗11Pipe Leak DetectionPinhole leaks in copper pipe and joint failures in PEX tubing are the two calls we run most. We locate the pinhole with ultrasonic leak detectors, cut out the bad section, and solder or crimp in new material that meets California code.↗12Toilet Leak DetectionA running toilet can waste 200 gallons a day. We test the flapper, fill valve, and wax ring, and check for a hidden leak at the flange with a moisture meter so the subfloor does not rot out from under you.↗13Faucet Leak DetectionDripping faucets waste water and stain cabinets. We diagnose the cartridge, O-rings, and supply connections, then repair or replace with new gaskets and plumber's tape so the fix holds.↗14Shower Leak DetectionShower leaks rot the wall behind the tile before you see anything. We test the valve, drain, and pan with moisture meters and a pressure test, then repair the failed seal or line before the framing goes.↗15Bathtub Leak DetectionTub leaks usually trace to the overflow gasket, drain shoe, or supply line. We isolate the source, check the surrounding framing for moisture, and repair the leak so the ceiling below stops staining.↗16Appliance Leak DetectionDishwashers, washing machines, and refrigerators all have supply lines that fail quietly. We inspect connections, test for moisture under the unit, and replace the line or valve before the leak damages your flooring.↗17HVAC Leak DetectionCondensate line clogs and refrigerant leaks both show up as water or poor cooling. We trace the condensate drain and check the system with electronic leak detection equipment to separate a drain problem from a refrigerant issue.↗18Electronic Leak DetectionElectronic leak detection equipment lets us hear and read leaks that are invisible to the eye. We use it on slab leaks, buried lines, and gas systems where opening the wall or floor would be the wrong first move.↗19Acoustic Leak DetectionAcoustic listening devices pick up the sound of water escaping a pressurized line. It is the fastest way to narrow a slab leak to a two-foot section of floor, which saves you money on demo and concrete repair.↗20Thermal Imaging Leak DetectionFLIR infrared cameras show temperature differences that reveal hidden moisture behind walls and under slabs. We use thermal imaging leak detection to confirm the leak location before we cut anything open.↗21Tracer Gas Leak DetectionFor hard-to-find gas and water leaks, we introduce a safe tracer gas and track it with Sewerin and Gutermann detectors. It is the go-to method for buried lines and slab leaks that acoustic gear cannot isolate.↗22Video Camera Pipe InspectionWe push a General Pipe Cleaners camera through sewer and drain lines to see root intrusion, cracks, and blockages in real time. You watch the screen with us, so there is no guesswork about what needs repair.↗23Pressure TestingPressure testing gauges confirm whether a line holds. We isolate the section, pressurize it, and watch the gauge, which tells us if the leak is on the supply side, the drain side, or somewhere else entirely.↗24Leak RepairFinding the leak is half the job. We repair copper pipe, PEX tubing, and PVC pipe with solder, epoxy resin, or pipe repair clamps, then retest the line before we pack up. Most repairs finish the same day.↗25Emergency Leak DetectionBurst pipes and gas leaks do not wait for business hours. Our emergency leak detection service Chula Vista 24 hour line is staffed around the clock, and we aim to be at your door within 60 minutes anywhere in the 91910 and 91911 ZIPs.↗26Residential Leak DetectionHomes in Eastlake, Rancho del Rey, and Bonita Vista have different plumbing than the older tracts near Third Avenue Village. We adjust our approach to the age and material of your home, from original copper to newer Uponor PEX systems.↗27Commercial Leak DetectionRestaurants, retail, and offices off Harborside and Bayfront cannot shut down for a leak. We work after hours, map moisture across the building, and isolate the failure so you reopen without a water damage claim.↗28Water Damage AssessmentAfter a leak, you need to know what got wet. We use moisture meters and infrared cameras to map affected drywall, flooring, and framing, then document the findings so your insurance claim is accurate.↗29Moisture MappingMoisture mapping shows the full extent of a leak, not just the wet spot you found. We grid the area with moisture meters and thermal imaging, mark the boundaries, and track drying progress on repeat visits.↗30Leak Detection ConsultationNot every call needs a full inspection. If you are buying a home in Chula Vista Hills or Sunbow, or planning a remodel, we walk the property, review the plumbing layout, and tell you where the risk points are.↗
Our standard

Why Chula Vista calls us for leak detection first

We are not a franchise dispatch center. Our technicians live and work in San Diego County, and we carry the tools on the truck to find and fix the leak in one trip. Here is what that means for you.

01
⌂

We find it, we fix it

Most leak companies locate the problem and hand you a list of contractors. We carry copper pipe, PEX tubing, pipe repair clamps, solder, and gaskets on every truck, so the repair usually happens the same visit. One call, one invoice, no waiting on a second crew.

02
◎

Licensed, bonded, and code-correct

Our team holds a California Contractor License (C-36 Plumbing), IAPMO certification, and Backflow Prevention Certification. We follow OSHA safety compliance on every job and test the line after repair, so the work passes inspection and your warranty stays intact.

60-minute emergency response

Burst pipe at 2 a.m. in Otay Ranch or a gas smell in a Lauderbach rental? Our emergency line answers 24/7, and we target a 60-minute arrival across Chula Vista. Bring us a real emergency and we treat it like one.

From call to complete

How our leak detection service works

We ask what you are seeing: a spinning meter, a hot floor, a gas smell, a ceiling stain. That tells us which tools to load and whether this is an emergency call or a scheduled visit.

A licensed technician walks the property with moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras, and acoustic listening devices. We test the meter, check suspect fixtures, and narrow the leak to a specific line or area.

We confirm the leak with pressure testing or tracer gas detection, then mark the exact spot. You see the readings and the camera footage, so you know what we found and why it matters.

We repair the line with the right material, whether that is copper pipe, PEX tubing, or a pipe repair clamp, then pressure test it again. You get a dry floor and a line that holds before we leave.

Leak problems we solve across Chula Vista

Most calls start the same way: something is wet, something is expensive, or something smells. Here are the problems we run into most and how we handle them.

Ask a pro →
01

Water bill doubled and the meter never stops

That pattern points to a supply-side leak, often under the slab. We use acoustic listening devices and infrared cameras to isolate it, then pressure test to confirm before we open any concrete. Most slab leaks are located in under two hours.

↗
02

Hot spot on the floor with no visible water

A warm patch on the floor usually means a hot water line is leaking under the slab. We trace it with thermal imaging, mark the section, and repair the copper pipe or reroute the line, whichever saves you more on concrete work.

↗
03

Sewage smell in the yard or a slow drain

Root intrusion and cracked joints are common in older Chula Vista sewer lines. We run a video pipe inspection camera through the line, show you the footage, and quote the repair before any digging starts.

↗
04

Gas smell near the meter or an appliance

Leave the building and call us. We respond with tracer gas detectors and Sewerin instruments, isolate the leak at the meter, appliance connection, or buried line, repair it, and pressure test before service is restored.
