We See What You Cannot
A dripping faucet is easy to fix, but the most dangerous leaks happen where you can’t see them. Hidden water leaks rot your wood framing and crack your foundation silently. You might notice your water bill jumping up for no reason.
HEC Plumbing uses advanced electronic listening devices to hear water escaping underground. We find the break quickly so you don't have to tear down your drywall blindly.
Signs You Have a Hidden Leak
Watch For These Warning Signs
Unexplained High Water Bills
If your usage hasn't changed but the cost doubled, water is escaping somewhere.
Warm Spots on the Floor
Hot water slab leaks heat up the concrete. This warmth indicates a broken hot water line beneath your foundation.
The Sound of Running Water
Can you hear water moving when no faucets are on? This sound signals a continuous leak in your walls or yard.
Mold or Mildew Smells
Moisture trapped behind cabinets creates the perfect home for mold. Musty odors suggest a slow leak in your kitchen or bathroom.
Wet Spots in the Yard
Is one patch of grass greener and mushier than the rest? This sign points to a break in your main water service line.

We Use Science, Not Sledgehammers
1. Acoustic Listening Devices
Our sensitive microphones hear the distinct frequency of leaking water through concrete. We mark the spot with an "X" precisely above the break.
2. Thermal Imaging Cameras
Our infrared cameras detect temperature differences behind your walls. We see the cold blue spread of a moisture leak or the hot red of a broken pipe.
3. Video Pipe Inspection
For drain leaks, we insert a camera to see inside the sewer line. Our technicians verify if a crack or tree root is causing the leak.
Types of Leaks We Fix
Solutions for Every Leak
Slab Leak Detection & Repair
Pipes under your concrete foundation can burst due to shifting soil. We locate the slab leak accurately. HEC Plumbing offers options to tunnel under the slab or reroute the pipe overhead.
Main Water Line Leaks
The pipe connecting your home to the city meter is vital. We detect breaks in this line caused by age or pressure. Our team replaces the damaged section to restore your water pressure.
Commercial Leak Detection
Large buildings have complex systems. We scan commercial properties for hidden water loss. HEC Plumbing helps businesses avoid structural damage and high overhead costs.
