Why Leak Detection Is Important
Leaks can be sneaky. Many develop slowly inside walls, under floors, or beneath concrete slabs, causing damage long before you notice any signs. Left untreated, hidden leaks can result in mold growth, foundation issues, and thousands of dollars in repairs.
Professional leak detection protects your home by identifying the exact source of the problem early. At Canady’s, we combine decades of experience with specialized equipment to track down leaks with minimal disruption. Once we find a leak, we provide honest recommendations and upfront pricing to resolve it quickly and correctly.
Signs You May Have a Hidden Leak
Some leaks are visible, like a dripping faucet base or a wet cabinet. But others stay hidden until serious damage has occurred. That’s why it’s important to recognize early warning signs and call in a professional when something seems off.
Be on the lookout for these signs that you may have a hidden plumbing leak:
- Unexpected spikes in your water bill
- Musty or mildew odors in specific areas
- Water stains on ceilings, walls, or floors
- Warped or buckling flooring
- The sound of running water when fixtures are off
- Low water pressure throughout the home
- Hot spots or damp areas on the floor
Advanced Leak Detection Technology
At Canady’s, we don’t rely on guesswork. Our team uses non-invasive leak detection tools that allow us to pinpoint hidden leaks without unnecessary damage to your walls, floors, or yard.
We utilize:
- Acoustic listening equipment to detect the sound of water movement through pipes
- Infrared thermal imaging to identify temperature changes caused by leaking water
- Moisture meters to detect elevated moisture levels behind surfaces
- Pressure testing to confirm pipe integrity
This technology allows us to find leaks quickly and accurately, whether they’re behind drywall or buried beneath a slab.

What causes pipes to leak?
Pipes leak because of:
- Physical damage or impact
- Corrosion
- Mineral accumulation
- High water acidity
- Excessive water pressure
- Defective piping materials
- Advanced pipe age
Some pipes are more vulnerable to damage than others, such as galvanized steel and cast iron, which rust out easily, or polybutylene, which can break down due to chlorine exposure and burst.
Where should you look for plumbing leaks?
As a homeowner, one of the easiest places to check for leaks is exposed piping, such as in your crawl space or garage. Lookout for drips, visible cracks, or corrosion.
Also, check your sinks, toilets, washing machine, water heater, and dishwasher for any leaks in the supply lines between the wall and the fixture.
Finally, watch for stains or moisture on walls or ceilings, as these are sure signs of leaks.
How can I prevent leaks?
- Schedule annual plumbing inspections and maintenance from a licensed plumber.
- Keep the areas under sinks or near supply lines clean and free of clutter that could damage the lines.
- Ensure exposed pipes are properly insulated to prevent damage from freezing.
- Replace pipes that are old, damaged, or made from outdated materials.
- Repair any damage as soon as you notice it.
