A hidden leak wastes water, damages your home, and drives up bills. We use acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging, and pressure isolation to pinpoint leaks in walls, slabs, and underground lines — with the smallest possible access hole.
What's included
- Acoustic and ultrasonic listening equipment
- Thermal imaging for hot-water and slab leaks
- Line pressure isolation to confirm the source
- Minimal-invasive access — we don't guess
- Detailed report you can share with insurance
Our process
Interview
We ask about symptoms — bill spike, sound, damp spot — and check the meter.
Isolate
Systematic pressure testing narrows the leak to a specific line or zone.
Locate
Acoustic and thermal tools pinpoint the exact location before we open anything.
Why Connecticut homeowners choose Drain Wizard for leak detection
Leak Detection in an older Connecticut home rarely fits a one-size-fits-all repair. Greater New Haven's housing stock spans century-old cast iron and galvanized systems, mid-century copper and clay laterals, 1970s Orangeburg, and modern PEX & PVC — each behaves differently and each has a right way to service it. Drain Wizard is a family-owned, Connecticut P1-licensed plumbing contractor based in Hamden, and leak detection is core to what our experienced plumbing professionals do every week across Hamden, North Haven, Wallingford, Cheshire, Branford, Guilford, Madison, Milford, Meriden, New Haven and the rest of the region.
Every leak detection call starts with a real diagnosis — not a guess — and a detailed written estimate you approve before any work begins. We show up when we say we will, protect your home with drop cloths and shoe covers, and stand behind the workmanship with the Drain Wizard Guarantee. If a permit or inspection is required, we pull it and see it through.
