Leak Detection
Southern California.
Hidden leaks waste water, drive up your bill, and quietly damage floors, walls, and foundations long before you see a drop. Apex Plumbing Services uses professional leak detection equipment to find the source fast — without tearing up your property to do it.
What counts as a hidden leak?
Not every leak is obvious. Rising water bills, damp or discolored spots on walls and ceilings, mildew smells, low water pressure, or the sound of running water when nothing's on are all signs of a leak hiding behind a wall, under a slab, or underground. If any of this sounds familiar, call Apex Plumbing Services at (951) 942-2739 before the damage spreads.
Find the Leak, Not Just the Symptoms
Guessing where a leak is coming from can mean unnecessary demolition and wasted money. Our technicians use acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging, and pressure testing to pinpoint the exact source of a leak before any repair work begins.

Leak Detection FAQs
Find answers to common questions about hidden leaks, how we find them, and what to do next.
How do I know if I have a hidden leak?
An unexplained rise in your water bill, damp spots on walls or floors, mold or musty smells, low water pressure, or the sound of running water with everything off are all common signs of a hidden leak.
How does leak detection work without cutting into walls or floors?
We use acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging cameras, and pressure testing to pinpoint the leak's location before any repair work starts, minimizing unnecessary damage to your property.
What is a slab leak, and how serious is it?
A slab leak is a leak in the water lines running under your home's concrete foundation. Left unaddressed, it can undermine the foundation and cause serious structural damage, so early detection matters.
How long does a leak detection appointment take?
Most leak detection appointments take one to two hours, depending on the size of the property and how difficult the leak is to isolate.
Can you tell if the leak is my responsibility or the water company's?
Yes. We can test at the water meter to determine whether the leak is on your side of the line or the utility's, so you know who's responsible for the repair.
Are your plumbers licensed and insured?
Yes. Every Apex Plumbing Services technician is fully licensed and insured under California plumbing code.
