Leak Detection in Peterboro: 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
Peterboro and the area around it
Basements in and around Peterboro 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 Peterboro 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 Peterboro customers
Pipes froze in the garage wall during that cold snap. They thawed it without any flame, stayed while the water came back, and caught a split before it soaked the drywall.
Tom H.Frozen pipe repair · Peterboro, NYTwo toilets, a faucet and a leaking outside tap in one morning. Tidy, polite, and the price was agreed before he started.
Peter N.Residential plumbing · Peterboro, NYOur main line backed up into the basement on a Sunday. They cleared it from the cleanout and then put a camera down and showed me the roots at a joint about thirty feet out. Booked the repair for the following week with no pressure.

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.
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.
How quickly can a plumber get to me in Peterboro?
It depends on where the nearest van is and what is on the board, so we give you an honest window on the phone. Emergency calls in Peterboro are prioritised over scheduled work, and we tell you what to do in the meantime rather than leaving you waiting.
