Leak
Detection
Hidden leaks can quietly destroy your walls, floors, or foundation long before you ever see a sign of water. But with our help, you can stop the damage in its tracks. Real Deal Plumbing Sd LLC specializes in leak detection using non-invasive tools to pinpoint the exact source without cutting into your property. From pipes behind drywall to buried lines under concrete, we find the leak fast so you can fix it before it spreads.

How Does Leak Detection Work?
Leak detection identifies hidden plumbing issues by pinpointing the exact source without tearing into walls or floors, making it a highly sought-after, damage-free solution. To begin, Real Deal Plumbing Sd LLC isolates specific sections of the system to track where pressure loss is occurring, which helps narrow down the potential leak area.
Once localized, we use thermal imaging and supersonic frequency monitoring to locate the issue. Thermal imaging highlights heat changes caused by hot water leaks, while frequency monitoring detects the distinct sound signatures of even the smallest pipe fractures. This targeted approach minimizes property damage, avoids costly repairs, and helps prevent long-term structural problems.
How Do You Know if a Pipe Is Leaking?
Leaks often remain hidden until structural damage or water bills reveal a deeper issue.
Here are a few signs to look out for if you think you have a leading pipe:
- Sudden spikes in water bills
- Moisture or water stains
- Drop in water pressure
- Sounds of running water
- Warped drywall, baseboards, or flooring
- Mold or mildew odor
In some cases, leaks occur underground or beneath concrete slabs (slab leaks). These are detected when foundation cracks appear, hot spots form on flooring, or if soil remains saturated around the foundation.

What Tools Do Plumbers Use for Leak Detection
While many tools are on the market, we use only the best. Our tools are hyper-accurate and noninvasive, allowing us to locate leaks without damaging your property. Our two most popular tools include thermal imager and supersonic frequency monitoring.
Thermal Imagers
Thermal imaging technology is one of our most powerful diagnostic tools. These advanced devices detect even the slightest variations in surface temperature, making them ideal for locating hidden hot water leaks behind walls and under floors. By visualizing heat signatures, thermal imagers help us quickly identify areas where heat loss occurs due to escaping hot water — long before any visible signs of damage appear. This means faster repairs and less disruption to your home or business.
Supersonic Frequency Monitoring
Supersonic frequency monitoring takes leak detection to the next level. This sophisticated technology captures the ultra-high-frequency sound waves produced by pressurized water as it escapes through tiny cracks or pinhole leaks. Even the smallest fractures in pipes — too small to see with the naked eye — generate distinct acoustic signatures. By using highly sensitive listening devices and sensors, we can accurately locate leaks deep within walls, underground pipes, or under concrete, all without invasive methods. It’s a game-changer for early detection, helping prevent costly water damage and structural issues.
