It is right there on the van: Leak Squad. Leak detection is the work Encore is known for. A high water bill, a warm spot on the floor, the hiss of running water with everything shut off: those are hidden leaks, and finding them without tearing the house apart is a skill. We use acoustic listening devices, in-line scope cameras and pressure testing to locate leaks in walls, under floors and underground, and we pinpoint slab leaks before they undermine the foundation. Once it is found, we repair it properly so it stays dry. Not patched, fixed.
Locating it, repairing it under the slab, or both. Start wherever your problem is.
Acoustic listening, line tracing, camera scope and pressure testing. We find exactly where it is before anything is opened.

Turn off every tap and water-using appliance, then look at the water meter. If the dial still moves, water is going somewhere. Other signs are a bill that jumped with no change in use, a warm spot on the floor, the sound of running water, damp drywall or a musty smell.
Acoustic listening devices, line tracing, in-line scope cameras and pressure testing. We usually use more than one, so the location is confirmed before anything is opened.
Only at the spot that needs the repair. The point of locating first is that we open one place, in the right place, instead of cutting exploratory holes.
