Price range: $$

A water bill that jumped 30% with no change in usage. A ceiling stain that keeps reappearing after painting. A soft spot in flooring with no visible source. These are signs of a hidden leak that's been running long enough to cause structural damage — and every day it runs is money lost and damage accumulating. Masters Plumbing Service uses acoustic ground microphones, thermal imaging cameras, and precision pressure decay testing to locate leaks in Selma homes without speculative demolition.

Why Detection First

4 Detection Capabilities We Bring to Every Leak Detection Call

A pressure test tells us a leak exists. Detection equipment tells us precisely where.

🎙️

Acoustic Ground Microphone

Pressurized supply line leaks create a low-frequency sound as water escapes the pipe and contacts surrounding soil or structure. Our amplified listening devices filter background noise so we can triangulate the loudest point — often to within 6–12 inches of the actual break, through concrete slabs or behind drywall.

🌡️

Thermal Infrared Camera

Active water leaks create temperature differentials on the surfaces they contact. An infrared camera shows these as color-coded heat maps, revealing the wet zone inside a wall or under a floor without any cutting. A cold water leak behind drywall appears as a spreading cool zone; a hot water leak shows the inverse.

📉

Pressure Decay Testing

We isolate the supply system, pressurize to operating pressure, and monitor over a timed hold period. Any pressure drop confirms active water loss from the supply side. By isolating zones — hot side vs. cold side, section by section — we narrow down which branch is leaking before deploying detection equipment.

💨

Tracer Gas Detection

Tracer gas is the method of last resort for the most challenging cases. It adds setup time but finds leaks that acoustic and thermal methods alone can't conclusively locate.

What We Locate

Every Leak Detection Scenario We Handle in Selma, OR

Our detection service covers the full property, not just the obvious locations.

Under Slab

Under-Concrete Supply Line Failure Location

Thermal imaging supplements acoustic detection for slab leaks, identifying the thermal anomaly that appears on the floor surface as water migrates through the concrete.

In-Wall

Hidden Pipe Failure Behind Finished Surfaces

Wall and ceiling leaks are often traced by following a visible stain to its apparent high point — but visible damage can be several feet from the actual pipe failure due to how water travels down framing members. Thermal imaging reveals the wet zone accurately, and acoustic equipment confirms the pipe location within the wall cavity.

Water Main

Underground Supply Line Detection

We also perform leak correlation surveys for longer line runs, using two listening points to triangulate the failure location mathematically.

Pool & Irrigation

Pressure Testing for Pool Plumbing

Irrigation system leaks in main supply and lateral runs are found by isolating zones with the irrigation controller and pressure-testing each zone individually. Zone-by-zone testing narrows the failure to the smallest possible section.

Insurance Docs

Concealed Leak Documentation in Selma, OR

We format detection reports specifically for insurance submission and provide documentation on our detection equipment and methodology to claims adjusters on request.

Commercial

Commercial Property Leak Detection in Selma, OR

Commercial buildings have complex pipe networks where a supply or drain leak can go undetected through multiple floors before surfacing. We approach commercial detection systematically — zone-by-zone pressure isolation, thermal scan of suspect surfaces, and acoustic confirmation.

Our Process

Systematic Detection — No Speculative Cutting

Here's exactly how a Masters Plumbing Service leak detection call plays out in Selma, OR.

Initial Water Loss Confirmation

This step confirms we're looking for a real leak rather than a meter error or normal appliance cycling.

Zone Isolation & Pressure Decay

Zone isolation turns "there's a leak somewhere in the house" into "the leak is on the hot side supply between the water heater and the master bath."

Detection Equipment Deployment

We document findings with thermal images and note detection readings at multiple grid points to triangulate the strongest signal.

Written Report & Repair Options

Insurance-formatted reports are available for claims submission at the same standard — no additional cost.

Customer Reviews

Real Leak Detection Reviews from Selma

★★★★★

My water bill doubled over three months. Masters Plumbing Service confirmed the meter was moving with everything off, isolated the cold supply to the kitchen as the failing branch, and used the acoustic device on the slab to pinpoint a location 4 feet from the outside wall under the kitchen floor. The repair crew opened a 10-inch circle in the tile, found a pinhole copper elbow exactly where detection said it would be. I was genuinely amazed at the precision.

★★★★★

Ceiling stain in the living room kept coming back despite two drywall patches. Masters Plumbing Service ran the thermal camera and found the wet zone was traveling from a supply line joint 9 feet away, flowing down a horizontal framing member — explaining why the patch kept failing. They marked the actual pipe location, we opened 8 inches of wall there, and the repair held. No more stain.

★★★★★

Pool was losing 2 inches per day — more than evaporation. Masters Plumbing Service pressure-tested the plumbing circuit, isolated the issue to the return line, and ran acoustic detection along the line path to find the failure at a union fitting under the decking. Repair required pulling one deck board instead of the exploratory digging another company had proposed.

FAQ

What to Know Before Booking Leak Detection

If the meter test confirms water loss, call us before opening any walls. Our detection equipment locates the failure to within inches in most cases — which means a small, targeted access rather than speculative wall demolition.

In most cases, yes — the detection phase is entirely non-invasive. We locate the leak using acoustic, thermal, and pressure methods without any demolition. The detection tells us exactly where to open, which means the access is minimal rather than speculative.

For leaks in plastic pipe, low-pressure situations, or high-noise environments, accuracy may be lower and tracer gas becomes the preferred supplemental method.

We provide supplemental information to claims adjusters on request, including equipment calibration records and a technical description of the detection methodology used.

We don't rush the detection protocol. The acoustic hold time and thermal scan coverage determine accuracy — cutting them short produces uncertain results that cost more to act on.

Yes — for most residential leaks we can repair the failure the same day detection confirms the location. Our service trucks carry repair materials for the most common supply line failures. We quote the repair as a flat-rate job separate from the detection fee, and you decide whether to proceed with us or take the detection report to your own plumber.
