A professional leak detection company uses advanced techniques to quickly and reliably detect leaks from walls, pipes, slabs, and even underground locations. Methods employed include:

1. Thermal Imaging:  Infrared thermal imaging cameras identify temperature differences caused by water leaks by scanning walls, ceilings, and floors for anomalies.
2. Moisture Meters:  Measuring the moisture content in materials such as drywall, wood, or flooring, these meters detect elevated moisture levels indicative of hidden leaks.
3. Pressure Testing: This involves isolating sections of the plumbing system and pressurizing them with air or water to check for drops in pressure, which can signal a leak.
4. Acoustic Leak Detection: Utilizing specialized equipment like ground microphones and listening devices, technicians amplify the sounds of escaping water to precisely locate the leak.

Be vigilant for the following warning signs of a water leak in your property:

1. Water Staining:  Look for water stains, drips, or puddles under sinks, around toilets, or near appliances.
2. Unusual Water Usage:  Monitor your water meter and bills for unexpected increases in usage.
3. Acoustic Noises: Listen for dripping or hissing sounds with no taps or appliances running.
4. Damp & Musty Odors: Musty smells, particularly in basements or crawl spaces, may suggest hidden moisture.
5. Mold Growth: Mold in areas like bathrooms or under sinks often points to a water leak.

If you notice any of these signs, contact a local leak detection company, like USA Restoration Pros of San Antonio, immediately.
