Advanced Leak Detection Methods
Plumbing systems are designed to be out of sight. Consequently, many plumbing issues can be difficult for the untrained eye to detect. Jim's Plumbing Now employs the latest technologies to find exactly where your leak is hiding, whether behind walls, under slabs, or in crawl spaces.
Our experienced plumbers begin our work with a thorough visual assessment of your systems. If needed, we’ll employ a variety of non-invasive methods to detect a leak. We’ll perform a static test, or hydrostatic testing, to locate any concealed leak.
We may also use thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters to detect moisture behind walls. If we cannot locate the leak with these tools, we might have to cut into a wall to troubleshoot the problem.
Once we confirm a leak, we’ll give you free estimates with upfront pricing.
Slab Leak Detection
Throughout North Dallas, residential plumbing systems come with copper pipes that are susceptible to corrosion. The area’s highly porous clay soil expands when water is present, contributing to foundation settlement and slab movement when a slab leak occurs. A slab leak, also called a concrete leak or foundation leak, can severely compromise your foundation and flooring.
It’s difficult for a homeowner to trace a leak that starts from under their home. Jim's Plumbing Now specializes in under-slab plumbing. Our technicians use camera inspections and static testing to pinpoint the root cause of issues beneath your home’s slab. We are transparent with you regarding our processes and pricing, so you can be aware and confident in your choices.
