Leak Detection: Common Questions

Is the detection fee wasted if they find nothing?

A good detection visit ends with an answer either way — a located leak or ruled-out plumbing (pointing to irrigation, roof, or condensation). Ask whether the fee is credited toward repair work; it often is.

How accurate is leak detection?

Modern acoustic and thermal methods usually locate leaks within a foot or two, which is the difference between opening one slab section and trenching a room.

How do I check a company's license?

Ask for their Washington L&I contractor number and verify it at secure.lni.wa.gov/verify — active license, bond, and insurance. Listings above with a green badge are ones we've already matched to an active license in state records.
