Leak Detection in Maple Valley: what is different here

Maple Valley's newer subdivisions near Lake Wilderness and Shadow Lake can still hide leaks at fittings or appliance lines, and rural homes on wells lack a utility bill to warn you. We drive SR 167 to SR 18, about 40 minutes, and find leaks with thermal imaging, without opening walls at random.

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.
