Leak Detection in Brooklyn

What's usually behind it in Brooklyn

We find a lot of Brooklyn leaks where old pipes were joined to new ones during renovations, often hidden behind tiled walls.

A high water bill or a damp patch with no obvious cause usually means a hidden leak in a wall, under a slab or in the yard. We use thermal cameras, acoustic listening gear and pressure tests to pin it down before opening anything up.

Much of Brooklyn was built between the wars and in the 1950s, so earthenware sewers and ageing copper lines are common. We also look after the shops, workshops and warehouses in Brooklyn.

How the job runs

How a Brooklyn job runs

  1. Confirm

    We check the meter to confirm there's a leak and estimate how much water is being lost.

  2. Isolate

    We isolate sections of the system to narrow down where it is.

  3. Pinpoint

    Thermal and acoustic tools locate the leak so we only open up what's needed.

  4. Repair

    We repair the leak and can provide a written report for your insurer or water authority.

FAQ

Leak Detection in Brooklyn: common questions

Can you find a leak without breaking walls?

Usually, yes. Thermal and acoustic tools let us pinpoint the leak, so we only open the small area needed.

Will I get a report for insurance?

Yes. We can provide a written leak report with photos for your insurer.

Can I get a rebate on my water bill?

Water authorities may offer a leak allowance once the leak is repaired. Our report helps with that claim.

How do I check for a leak myself?

Turn off every tap, note the water meter reading, wait 30 minutes without using water and check again. If it moved, call us.
