Why Choose Hyde Park Plumbing for Leak Detection?
A hidden water leak can waste thousands of gallons, cause mold growth inside walls, rot structural framing, and damage your foundation — all before you even notice a problem. Hyde Park Plumbing uses professional leak detection technology — acoustic listening devices, infrared thermal imaging cameras, electronic moisture meters, and pressure testing equipment — to pinpoint leaks inside walls, under concrete slabs, beneath floors, and underground without destructive investigation. Boise homes are particularly susceptible to slab leaks (from copper pipe corrosion in hard water), crawlspace leaks (from freeze-thaw pipe stress), and pinhole leaks in aging galvanized and copper supply lines. Early detection saves Boise homeowners thousands in water damage restoration costs.

Our Leak Detection Process
Non-Invasive Detection
We use acoustic sensors to listen for pressurized water escaping from pipes inside walls and under slabs. Infrared thermal cameras detect temperature differences caused by leaking water. Electronic moisture meters map the extent of water migration. We pinpoint the leak without cutting into walls or breaking concrete.
Locate & Confirm
Once we identify the suspected leak area, we use pressure isolation testing to confirm which pipe is leaking and whether there are multiple leak points. For slab leaks, we mark the exact location on the floor so repair is targeted — minimizing the concrete that needs to be opened.
Repair & Verify
We repair the leak using the best method for your situation: spot repair for accessible leaks, rerouting for slab leaks where opening concrete is impractical, or epoxy pipe lining for multiple pinhole leaks. We pressure test after repair to verify the fix holds.

Common Questions About Leak Detection in Boise
How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?
Signs of hidden water leaks include unexplained increases in your water bill, the sound of running water when no fixtures are in use, damp spots on walls or floors, musty odors, mold growth, and warm spots on the floor (indicating a hot water line leak).
How much does leak detection cost in Boise?
Professional leak detection in Boise typically costs $150 to $400. Hyde Park Plumbing uses advanced acoustic detection, thermal imaging, and pressure testing equipment to locate hidden leaks without destructive investigation.
What is slab leak detection?
Slab leak detection locates leaks in water lines running beneath your home's concrete foundation. We use acoustic listening devices and thermal imaging to pinpoint the leak location without breaking concrete. Slab leak repair methods include rerouting, epoxy lining, or spot repair.
Can a small water leak cause serious damage?
Yes. Even a small leak losing 1 drip per second wastes over 3,000 gallons per year and can cause extensive water damage, mold growth, and structural issues. Boise homes with crawlspaces are especially vulnerable to undetected leaks causing wood rot and foundation damage.
Do you repair the leak after detection?
Yes, Hyde Park Plumbing handles both leak detection and repair. Once we locate the leak using our advanced equipment, we provide upfront pricing for the repair and can often fix the problem the same day.
