Signs of Hidden Water Leaks in Your Tulsa Home
- Unexplained Water Bill Increases: Sudden spikes in usage with no change in habits
- Sound of Running Water: Hearing water flow when all fixtures are off
- Wet Spots: Damp areas on floors, walls, or ceilings
- Mold or Mildew: Musty odors or visible mold growth in unusual places
- Water Meter Activity: Meter spinning when no water is being used
- Low Water Pressure: Decreased pressure throughout the house
- Warm Spots on Floors: Indicates hot water line leak under slab
- Cracks in Walls or Floors: Foundation movement from slab leaks
- Buckling Floors: Wood or laminate floors warping from moisture
Advanced Leak Detection Technology
Modern leak detection uses specialized equipment to find leaks without demolition:
Electronic Leak Detection
Sensitive acoustic equipment listens for the sound of water escaping pipes. Our technicians use headphones and ground microphones to pinpoint exact leak locations—even through concrete.
Thermal Imaging
Infrared cameras detect temperature variations caused by water leaks. Hot water leaks show as warm spots, cold water leaks as cool areas. Particularly effective for finding slab leaks.
Moisture Meters
Measure moisture levels in walls, floors, and ceilings to map leak extent and track hidden water damage.
Video Camera Inspection
For sewer and drain leaks, waterproof cameras show exactly where pipes are compromised.
Pressure Testing
Isolate sections of plumbing and use pressure gauges to identify which zones contain leaks.
Slab Leaks: A Serious Tulsa Problem
Many Tulsa homes built on concrete slabs have copper water lines running beneath the foundation. These pipes can develop leaks due to:
- Corrosion from reactive soil
- Abrasion from ground shifting
- Poor installation
- Excessive water pressure
- Age and deterioration
Why Slab Leaks Require Immediate Attention
Leaking water beneath your slab can:
- Erode soil supporting the foundation
- Cause foundation settlement and cracking
- Create voids under the slab
- Damage flooring throughout the house
- Promote mold growth in walls and under flooring
- Waste hundreds of gallons daily
- Dramatically increase water bills
Slab Leak Repair Options
After pinpointing your slab leak, we present repair options:
Direct Access Repair
Cut through slab at leak location, repair damaged pipe section, and restore concrete. Best for isolated leaks in accessible areas.
Reroute/Repipe
Abandon leaking under-slab line and install new pipe through attic, walls, or above-ground. Avoids extensive slab demolition and protects against future leaks in same line.
Epoxy Pipe Lining
For certain situations, epoxy coating can be applied inside pipes to seal small leaks without excavation.
Common Leak Locations in Tulsa Homes
Under-Slab Water Lines
Hot and cold water supply lines beneath concrete foundations. Common in homes built 1960s-1980s with copper piping.
Behind Walls
Supply lines to fixtures, washing machines, and water heaters. Often first noticed as water stains on drywall.
In Ceilings
Second-story plumbing leaks into ceiling below. Can cause extensive drywall and insulation damage.
Toilet Leaks
Wax ring failures or cracked flanges allow water to leak beneath toilets, damaging subfloors.
Water Heater Leaks
Tank corrosion or fitting leaks. Early detection prevents extensive water damage.
Outdoor Leaks
Sprinkler system leaks, hose bibs, and main line leaks between street and house.
Leak Detection Process
- Initial Assessment: Review symptoms and utility bills
- Visual Inspection: Check accessible pipes and fixtures
- Meter Test: Confirm active leak using water meter
- Electronic Detection: Use acoustic and thermal equipment to locate leak
- Pinpoint Location: Mark exact position for efficient repair
- Repair Options: Present solutions with clear pricing

Why Early Detection Matters
Catching leaks early prevents:
- Structural damage to foundation and framing
- Mold remediation costs
- Flooring replacement
- Drywall and insulation damage
- Higher water bills
- Decreased home value
What starts as a small leak costing $300 to repair can become a $10,000+ remediation project if ignored.
