Leak Detection
Find Hidden Leaks
Accurate, Non-Destructive Leak Detection
A small leak can lead to major damage if left undetected. Whether it’s hidden behind walls, under flooring, or inside ceilings, our professional leak detection service uses advanced tools like infrared imaging and moisture meters to pinpoint the source, fast. We find what others miss, preventing mold, rot, and costly repairs before they get worse.
Leaks Don’t Fix Themselves
Unseen water leaks may quietly damage drywall, flooring, insulation, and framing, leading to mold growth, structural weakening, and costly repairs. Early water leak detection helps protect your home, prevent long-term issues, and avoid surprises like sudden spikes in your water bill.
What We Check
Comprehensive Leak Investigations
Horn’s Water Restoration Inc. inspects areas most prone to hidden leaks, such as kitchens, bathrooms, slab foundations, ceilings, crawlspaces, and basements. Our IICRC-certified team specializes in slab leak detection using thermal imaging, moisture mapping, and acoustic listening devices to find the exact source without cutting into walls unnecessarily. We also inspect signs of water intrusion from outside, such as roof leaks or faulty flashing.
After locating the source, we document findings, explain what caused the leak, and offer a repair and restoration plan tailored to your property. Whether you’ve noticed stains, musty smells, warped flooring, or higher utility bills, we’ll get to the bottom of it quickly and accurately.
How We Detect Leaks
Our process begins with a conversation about the signs you’ve noticed, such as water spots, sounds of dripping, or moisture issues. Then we use non-invasive tools like infrared cameras and moisture meters to scan the property and detect abnormalities in temperature and moisture. For harder-to-find problems, we rely on advanced hidden water leak detection methods using acoustic listening devices and tracer gas where appropriate. Once the source is found, we mark it clearly, document the issue, determine the cause, and plan the next steps.
This allows for minimal disruption during the repair phase and helps us stop the leak before further damage occurs. We also assess related damage to drywall, flooring, framing, and insulation. If repairs are needed, we can move seamlessly from detection to cleanup and restoration, all handled by our in-house team. Our goal is to save you time, money, and stress by finding leaks early, fixing them right, and helping you avoid a repeat incident.
Why It’s Essential
Leak Detection That Saves You Thousands
Water leaks don’t need to be dramatic to cause serious damage. A slow drip behind a wall, beneath a sink, or under your flooring can quietly rot wood, rust pipes, weaken drywall, and promote mold growth, all before you ever see visible signs like staining or puddles. Left unchecked, even minor leaks can lead to major structural issues and expensive repairs. That’s why leak detection for homes is one of the most valuable services we offer at Horn’s Water Restoration Inc.
Our technicians use specialized tools, like thermal imaging cameras, acoustic sensors, moisture meters, and tracer gas systems, to pinpoint the source of leaks with minimal disruption. We investigate the full scope of the issue and provide clear documentation, so you know what’s happening and what it will take to fix it. From roof leaks and slab cracks to plumbing failures and foundation seepage, we’ve seen it all, and we solve it fast.
If damage is already present, you won’t have to search for another contractor. Our in-house team handles everything from water extraction and mold remediation to structural repairs and full rebuilds. We also assist with insurance documentation and next steps, so you’re not left dealing with it alone.
With Horn’s, you get more than just leak detection service; you get lasting solutions that protect your property and your peace of mind.
