Leak Detection in Frisco: Find Hidden Water Leaks Fast
Last summer at 2 AM a homeowner in Stonebriar called us with water seeping through her ceiling tiles. No visible pipe burst, no obvious source—just water appearing in her beautiful home. Hidden leaks are the most dangerous plumbing issues Frisco homeowners face. We find leaks without tearing out your walls, floors or landscaping.
We've been protecting North Texas homes since 1975. In Frisco's newer neighborhoods like Phillips Creek Ranch and The Grove, modern construction sometimes masks slow leaks behind walls or under foundation slabs. By the time you notice wet spots or warped flooring, significant damage may have occurred. Our leak detection services combine state-of-the-art technology with 50 years of plumbing experience to find hidden water leaks quickly and accurately.
Our Leak Detection Technology Finds What Others Miss
Our leak detection specialists serve all of Frisco and surrounding areas including McKinney, Plano, The Colony and Little Elm. We use advanced technology that detects leaks invisible to the naked eye. Our thermal imaging cameras detect temperature variations behind walls and under floors. Our acoustic listening devices pick up the sound of water moving through pipes even when buried under concrete slabs.
For Frisco homes built on expansive clay soil, we perform comprehensive pressure tests on water lines to identify drops that indicate leaks. Our electronic line tracing equipment maps your entire plumbing system so we can follow pipes through walls, ceilings and underground without guesswork.
Our leak detection equipment includes:
- Professional-grade thermal imaging cameras
- Acoustic detection and listening devices
- Electronic line tracing systems
- Waterproof video camera inspection
- Comprehensive pressure testing equipment
Slab Leak Detection in Frisco Homes
Frisco's expansive clay soil swells with moisture and shrinks during drought. This creates unique challenges for foundation plumbing. We specialize in detecting slab leaks before they compromise your foundation's integrity. Our equipment is particularly useful for detecting leaks in pier-and-beam or post-tension slab foundations common in developments like Richwoods and Starwood.
Warning signs of slab leaks include:
- Warm spots on floors
- Running water sounds when fixtures are off
- Foundation cracks appearing suddenly
- Unexplained water bill increases
- Wet carpet or flooring
- Mildew or excessive moisture under carpets
Hidden Pipe Leaks Behind Walls and in Attics
Many Frisco homes have open floor plans with plumbing concealed in walls, attics or crawl spaces. Our technicians locate leaks in supply lines, drain pipes and fixture connections without damaging your home's finishes. We've detected leaks in some of Frisco's most complex homes near Frisco Square and along Legacy Drive.
We find hidden leaks in:
- Supply lines behind walls
- Drain pipes in ceilings
- Fixture connections
- Attic water lines
- Crawl space plumbing
Water Line Leaks From Street to Home
The main water line running from the street to your home can develop leaks from ground shifting, tree root intrusion or age-related deterioration. Our leak detection equipment traces these underground lines and pinpoints leak locations. This minimizes excavation and landscape disruption in your beautifully manicured yard.
Irrigation System Leaks in Frisco Yards
Frisco's hot summers require robust irrigation systems. Sprinkler line leaks are common but often overlooked. We detect leaks in underground irrigation lines that waste water and inflate your utility bill. This is especially important given Frisco's tiered water rate structure.
How Long Does Leak Detection Take in Frisco?
Most Frisco leak detection appointments take 1 to 3 hours depending on property size and leak complexity. Here's our process:
- Initial consultation and symptom review (15-20 minutes)
- Visual inspection of visible plumbing and potential leak areas (20-30 minutes)
- Thermal imaging scan of walls, floors and ceilings (30-45 minutes)
- Acoustic detection and pressure testing as needed (20-40 minutes)
- Video camera inspection for slab leaks if indicated (30-60 minutes)
- Location mapping and repair recommendations (15-20 minutes)
Same-day appointments are available for Frisco homeowners throughout the week. Our scheduling team works around your schedule to find a time that fits your busy life.
Professional Leak Detection Saves Frisco Homeowners Money
Many Frisco homeowners underestimate the cost of undetected leaks. A pinhole leak can waste 970 gallons a month. A running toilet can waste up to 200 gallons a day. Beyond water waste, hidden leaks cause expensive damage:
- Water waste: Pinhole leaks waste 970 gallons monthly, running toilets waste 200 gallons daily
- Structural damage: Water weakens drywall, damages insulation and compromises framing in $400K-$2M+ homes
- Mold growth: North Texas humidity combined with hidden moisture creates ideal conditions for mold
- Foundation issues: Slab leaks saturate soil beneath foundations, contributing to settling and cracking
- Utility bills: Frisco homeowners typically see 15-30% reductions in water bills after we find and fix hidden leaks
Over time, water bill savings often exceed the cost of professional leak detection service. Early detection protects your most valuable asset.
Real Frisco Leak Detection Results
The Starwood Subdivision Save
A family in Starwood contacted us after their water bill doubled in three months with no change in usage habits. Previous plumbers checked visible fixtures but found nothing. We used our acoustic detection equipment to find a slow leak in a cold water line running through their attic insulation—completely invisible but wasting over 800 gallons monthly. We fixed the leak the same day. The homeowner calculated our leak detection service paid for itself in less than four months of water savings.
Foundation Protection in Phillips Creek Ranch
When a Phillips Creek Ranch homeowner noticed warm spots on their tile floor near the master bathroom, they called us concerned about a slab leak. Our thermal imaging confirmed their suspicion—a hot water line beneath the foundation had developed a pinhole leak. Because we found it early, before significant foundation damage occurred, we rerouted the line through the attic. This avoided costly foundation penetration and extensive repairs. We saved this family an estimated $8,000-$12,000 in foundation remediation costs.
The Hidden Shower Pan Leak
A homeowner near Frisco Square reported water stains in their first-floor living room, directly below an upstairs bathroom. Water appeared intermittently with no pattern. We found a failing shower pan liner—a leak that only occurred during showers and drained slowly through the subfloor. This type of leak is hard to diagnose without proper equipment and experience. We found the source, coordinated shower pan replacement and prevented extensive damage to floor joists and ceiling materials.
