Leak Detection & Repair
Find the leak you can't see — fast, and without the demolition.
Not every leak announces itself. Some hide inside walls, under floors, or beneath your foundation, doing damage and inflating your water bill for months before you ever spot a drip.
L.E. Isley & Sons uses modern, non-invasive leak-detection equipment to locate hidden leaks precisely — then repairs them cleanly. Less guesswork, less demolition, and a problem solved at the source.

What We Do
Our leak detection services
Electronic leak location
Acoustic and pressure equipment pinpoints leaks behind walls, under slabs, and below floors without tearing anything open.
Hidden & supply-line leaks
We track down leaks in pressurized supply lines, fixtures, and connections that standard inspection misses.
Targeted repair
Once located, we make a focused repair — not a wholesale teardown — and restore the area.
Whole-home check
While we're there, we can check for other developing leaks before they become emergencies.
Know the Signs
Signs you have a hidden leak
Water bill keeps climbing
An unexplained jump in usage is one of the most reliable signs water is escaping somewhere you can't see.
Running water with taps off
If you hear water moving when nothing is on, a line is leaking behind a wall or under the floor.
Damp spots, stains, or mold
Warm or damp patches, ceiling and wall stains, or musty smells all point to a concealed leak.
Low pressure
A persistent drop in water pressure can mean water is being lost before it reaches your fixtures.

Honest Pricing
What affects the cost
Leak detection is flat-rate and quoted before we start. Finding the leak precisely is what keeps the repair affordable. Factors:
Leak location
A leak behind a wall or under a slab takes more to access and repair than an exposed fitting.
Detection complexity
Most leaks are found quickly; some hidden lines take more time to isolate.
Repair scope
Once located, the fix can be a simple fitting or a section of pipe — we quote it before proceeding.
Catching it early
The sooner a leak is found, the less damage and cost it causes down the line.

FAQ
Leak Detection — common questions
We use non-invasive acoustic and pressure equipment that lets us hear and locate leaks behind walls, under slabs, and below floors. That means we open only the small area needed for the repair instead of guessing.
The most common clues are an unexplained spike in your water bill, the sound of running water when everything is off, damp or warm spots, wall and ceiling stains, and dropping water pressure. Any of these is worth a call.
Yes — slow leaks are often the most expensive because they run undetected for months, feeding mold growth and structural damage while wasting water. Finding them early saves money and headaches.
