What Happens During a Plumbing Leak Inspection

A plumbing leak inspection begins with an on-site visual assessment of affected areas and accessible fixtures. We review visible moisture patterns and reported symptoms to determine where focused testing is appropriate.

Testing methods depend on the plumbing layout and suspected type of leak. A typical visit takes between one and three hours, although property size and plumbing complexity can affect the time required.

Acoustic Leak Detection
Acoustic listening devices detect sounds produced by water escaping from a pressurized pipe. We use this equipment to narrow down leaks concealed inside walls or beneath slabs without opening broad sections of the property.

Pressure Testing
Pressure testing checks whether a specific pipe remains intact. A loss of pressure can indicate that water is escaping along the tested section and guide further investigation.

System Isolation
Isolation separates sections of the system for individual testing. By testing branches independently, we can identify which part of the plumbing contains the suspected leak.

Findings for Repair Planning
After testing, we explain what we found and provide information that can be shared with your plumber, contractor, or maintenance staff. The findings identify the suspected leak area before repairs begin.

Signs of a Hidden Plumbing Leak in Redlands

A hidden leak doesn’t always produce visible standing water. Changes in water use, sounds within the plumbing, and recurring moisture can be the first indications that professional detection is needed.

Warning signs that warrant investigation include:

Unexpected water use: A sudden increase in water consumption or an unexplained water bill can signal a concealed plumbing leak.
Water staining or dampness: Stains, damp surfaces, and recurring moisture can point to a hidden water source.
Moldy odors: Persistent musty or moldy smells can accompany moisture that isn’t visible at the surface.
Running-water sounds: Water sounds heard while fixtures are off can indicate movement within the plumbing system.
Drain and sewer symptoms: Slow drains, recurring backups, or sewer odors can point to a possible sewer-line issue.

Older homes in Redlands, including properties in the historic downtown and near the University of Redlands, may contain aging pipe materials. When symptoms appear, testing can distinguish a plumbing leak from other possible moisture sources without relying on the property’s age alone.

Locating Slab & Sewer Problems Before Repairs

A suspected slab leak should be located before repair work starts. Because the pipe is concealed beneath the foundation, acoustic listening, pressure testing, and system isolation can narrow the suspected location and inform the repair plan.

Sewer leaks require a different investigation from pressurized water leaks. Slow drainage, repeated backups, and sewer odors provide useful clues, but testing is needed to determine whether the system is involved and where the problem may be located.

Clear findings are especially useful for property managers and municipal-property decision-makers coordinating maintenance staff and outside contractors. We explain the results in practical terms so the appropriate repair provider can evaluate the next step.

"Outstanding"
“Outstanding customer service!”

- Sylvia B.
"All conducted themselves in an exemplary manner!"
“I cannot tell you how pleased we were with ALD's work this past week. Your company has assisted us in Palm Springs over the years and also, on occasion, at our main home in Pasadena. As you know, we have quite a unique property and extra care is required to maintain the original 1950's appearance of the home. We were frankly at a loss to find a practical solution to permanently eliminate the risk of our main sewer line clogging as a result of multiple root intrusions. We are also located on a rock ledge, further complicating the challenge. Your team was initially headed by Erick Morales, later joined by his supervisor Andy and as the project unfolded, by several other knowledgeable employees of the firm. All conducted themselves in an exemplary manner and Erick, who had been here in the past, stood out. I even suggested some additional work, yet Erick, once more, provided a more practical solution. Erick also worked very well with our staff. As a former Chief Executive of First Interstate Bank, later the senior Managing Director of what is today JPMorganChase and at present Chairman of the Palm Springs Art Museum, I was struck by your team's "advisory, consultative" approach rather than what is more typical "sales" approach. The team determined the source and location of the problem, discussed various alternatives, brought in experts, arrived at a workable solution which was then followed by a proposal. That proposal was executed to the letter, within budget and in a timely fashion. We would be most pleased to serve as a reference should this be helpful. It was a pleasure to meet you during the process.”

- Harold M.
"Prompt, thorough and completely professional."
“Please allow this letter to serve as our recommendation for American Leak Detection. We have used the services of this company on countless occasions over the many years, and we have always found them to be prompt, thorough and completely professional. A few years ago we had a string of leaks which had gone undetected during the summer months and had caused a tremendous amount of damage, including mold. Jimmy Carter and American Leak Detection came to our assistance immediately and solved the problems in a timely and competent manner. I might also add the office staff is always very courteous and helpful. We will continue to use the services of American Leak Detection in the future.”
