Leak Detection & Repair in San Diego

Advanced Leak Diagnostics That Help Protect Your Home

Finding a hidden leak the right way requires more than experience. It requires the right equipment and the trained eye to interpret what that equipment is telling you. Drain Medic / RX Plumbing arrives on every leak detection call with professional-grade tools designed to isolate the source of a leak without tearing apart your home to find it.

Here is what we bring to every leak detection job:

• Electronic leak detection equipment – We use acoustic listening devices and electronic amplification tools that pick up the sound of pressurized water escaping through pipe walls, even when the leak is buried under concrete or running inside a finished wall cavity.
• Thermal imaging – Infrared thermal cameras detect temperature differences in walls, floors, and ceilings caused by moisture. This allows us to map the path water is taking through your structure without opening a single surface until we know exactly where to look.
• Video camera pipeline inspection – For underground and in-wall pipe systems, a high-resolution camera gives us a direct view of pipe interiors so we can confirm the location and condition of a leak and assess the surrounding pipe at the same time.
• Pressure testing – We isolate sections of your plumbing system and run controlled pressure tests to confirm where a loss is occurring, a critical step when dealing with a leak that electronic tools alone cannot fully pinpoint.
• Slab leak detection – Slab leaks require a specialized approach. We use a combination of acoustic equipment and pressure isolation techniques to locate leaks running beneath your concrete foundation without unnecessary jackhammering or exploratory demolition.

Once we have a confirmed location, we walk you through our findings, explain the repair options available, and give you a clear estimate before any work begins. You stay informed and in control throughout the entire process.
