Leak Detection in Bonney Lake: what is different here

In Bonney Lake's newer subdivisions, such as Cedarview and Church Lake, a hidden leak is less often old pipe and more often a fitting, a valve or a fixture supply line. Thermal imaging finds it without guesswork. We drive SR 512 to SR 410, about 20 minutes, to homes across the plateau.

How the job runs

  1. Confirm the leak

    With everything off, we check the meter to confirm water is escaping.
  2. Scan without damage

    Thermal imaging and other non-invasive methods trace the leak through walls, floors or slabs.
  3. Show you the source

    We mark the spot, explain what we found and give you an upfront, flat-rate price for the repair.
  4. Repair or reroute

    We fix the leak through the smallest opening we can, or reroute the line.
