Leak Detection in Brasher Falls: what the job involves
A water bill that jumped, a meter that creeps with everything closed, a warm patch on a floor, a musty smell with no visible source - these are leaks you cannot see. We locate them with acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and pressure isolation, so the opening we make is a small one in the right place instead of a large one in the wrong place.
The method depends on the suspect. Supply leaks under a slab give themselves away acoustically under pressure. Drain leaks need isolation and sometimes a camera. Leaks in a wall cavity are often found faster with thermal imaging than with a hammer. We work through it in order rather than guessing.
When to call us
- Water bill up with no change in usage
- Meter dial moving with every fixture closed
- Warm or damp spot on a floor
- Musty smell, or paint and plaster bubbling
Brasher Falls and the area around it
Basements in and around Brasher Falls take water in a heavy spring, and the two systems standing between you and a flooded floor are the sump pump and the sewer lateral. Both fail silently and both fail at the worst possible moment. Testing a pump properly takes ten minutes and it is worth doing before the melt, not during it.
Our Brasher Falls vans are stocked for the repairs that actually happen: supply lines, fill valves, wax rings, thermocouples, elements, PRVs, press and shark-bite fittings in common residential sizes, and a sectional machine for drains. Most calls finish in one visit.
What is included
- Acoustic listening for pressurised supply leaks
- Thermal imaging for wall, ceiling and floor cavities
- Meter and pressure testing to confirm a leak exists
- Slab leak location and repair options
- Written findings with the location marked

Reviews from Brasher Falls customers
The quote I got was the number on the invoice, on a Saturday night call-out. That alone will keep me coming back.

Marta G.Trenchless sewer repair · Brasher Falls, NYLeak Detection in Brasher Falls: common questions
How do I check for a leak myself?
Turn off every fixture, then look at the meter. If the low-flow indicator is still moving, water is going somewhere. That one test tells us a lot before we arrive.
Will you need to break the floor?
Only after we know where. The point of detection equipment is to make that opening as small and as correctly placed as possible.
Can you find a leak under a concrete slab?
Yes. Slab leaks are located acoustically under pressure, and we will talk you through repair versus rerouting the line above the slab.
Do you work on older homes in Brasher Falls?
Constantly. Much of the housing stock here predates modern materials, so we carry fittings and transitions for galvanized, cast iron and older copper systems as a matter of course.
Do I need to be home for the appointment?
For most work, yes, at least to give access and approve the price. For some scheduled exterior work we can arrange otherwise - just mention it when you book.
What should I do while I wait for the plumber?
Close your main water shut-off, then open the lowest faucet in the house to relieve pressure in the pipes. If the water is near anything electrical, cut power to that area at the panel. If you smell gas, leave the building and call your gas utility from outside.
