Leak Detection in Orange County, CA

Non-Invasive Leak Detection Technology

Older methods of finding a hidden leak meant cutting holes in walls or tearing up floors. OC Plumbers uses modern acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging, and fiber optic pipe cameras to locate leaks precisely — with minimal or no damage to your home.

Once we find the leak, we give you a transparent repair estimate before any work begins.

Slab Leaks in Orange County

Slab leaks — pipes leaking beneath your concrete foundation — are common in Orange County due to the region's clay-heavy soil, which shifts with seasonal moisture changes and puts stress on copper pipes. Left untreated, slab leaks can crack your foundation and cause major structural damage.

Signs of a slab leak include warm spots on the floor, the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, a sudden spike in your water bill, or cracks in walls and flooring.

Signs You May Have a Hidden Leak

• Water bill increased significantly with no change in usage
• Sound of running water when all taps are off
• Warm or damp spots on floor, wall, or ceiling
• Mold, mildew, or musty odors in a specific area
• Low water pressure throughout the home
• Meter continues to spin with all water turned off
• Foundation cracks or shifting floors

What to Do If You Suspect a Leak

First, check your water meter. Turn off all water in your home, then watch the meter for 15 minutes. If it moves, you have a leak somewhere. Call OC Plumbers immediately — the sooner we locate it, the less damage it causes and the less it costs to repair.
