Leak Detection Services in The Colony, TX

Professional Plumbing Leak Detection

Hidden plumbing leaks can increase utility costs, damage building materials, create unpleasant odors, and lead to more extensive repairs when left unresolved. Sergeant Plumber Corp. provides professional water, sewer, and gas leak detection services in The Colony and surrounding North Texas communities.
We will begin by discussing the symptoms you have noticed and evaluating the accessible plumbing system. The testing method will depend on the type and location of the suspected leak. Once the diagnostic work is complete, we will explain the findings and provide available repair options.

Water Leak Detection

Hidden water leaks can occur beneath slabs, inside walls, under floors, or in underground water lines. We use pressure testing, acoustic equipment, meter evaluation, isolation procedures, and other appropriate methods to help locate the source.

Sewer Leak Detection

Sewer leaks can cause odors, recurring backups, foundation-area moisture, or unexplained drainage problems. Depending on the situation, testing may include camera inspection, isolation testing, smoke testing, drain testing, or sewer-line locating.

Showers, Tubs & Drains

Gas-system testing can help determine whether accessible piping is losing pressure and help locate a suspected leak. Testing may include pressure testing, electronic detection equipment, visual inspection, and isolation of accessible sections.

Signs You May Have a Hidden Plumbing Leak

Some leaks are easy to see, while others remain concealed beneath the foundation, behind walls, underground, or inside a drainage system. Leak detection may be recommended if you notice:

  • An unexplained increase in water usage or utility bills
  • Water-meter movement when all fixtures are turned off
  • Damp flooring, walls, cabinets, or foundation areas
  • The sound of running water when no fixture is being used
  • Warm areas on the floor or recurring moisture problems
  • Persistent sewer odors, slow drains, or unexplained backups
  • Hissing sounds or a rotten-egg odor near gas piping or appliances

Gas Leak Emergency

If you smell gas or suspect an active gas leak, leave the area immediately. From a safe location, call 911 and your natural-gas utility. Do not operate electrical switches, phones, appliances, vehicles, or anything else that could create a spark in the affected area.

What to Expect During Leak Detection

1. Initial Assessment and Service Fee

We will ask about the symptoms you have noticed, when the problem began, and any previous plumbing work or testing. The applicable service or diagnostic fee will be explained before the appointment is scheduled. This fee covers the agreed initial visit and diagnostic scope.

2. Systematic Diagnostic Testing

Testing will be selected based on the suspected system and location of the leak. This may include visual inspection, meter evaluation, pressure testing, isolation testing, acoustic equipment, sewer-camera inspection, smoke testing, or other appropriate diagnostic methods.

3. Findings and Repair Options

After the testing is complete, we will explain the findings and the recommended next step. If repair work, additional testing, excavation, destructive access, or another service is needed, separate pricing will be provided before that work begins.

Important Information About Leak Detection

Leak detection is an investigative process. Building construction, pipe materials, accessibility, background noise, multiple leaks, and existing system conditions can affect the testing process. In some situations, additional testing or controlled access may be necessary to confirm the exact source and repair location.
