Leak Detection in Avondale — Acoustic and Thermal Methods

Avondale's older agricultural core has plumbing added at different times over 60-80 years — pipe materials mix within the same home, and leaks at dissimilar-material joints are common and hard to locate visually

Coldwater Springs homes from 2003-2008 have copper-to-PVC transitions at key points — thermal imaging identifies moisture at these transition joints before visible damage appears

Undetected leaks in Avondale cost $50-200/month in excess water use and cause ongoing structural damage. Professional detection identifies the source before repair, avoiding exploratory wall damage.

We use three detection methods in Avondale:

Acoustic detection ($125–$350): Sensitive listening equipment detects water sound through walls, concrete, and floors — effective for active leaks in supply lines.

Thermal imaging ($175–$450): Infrared cameras identify temperature differences from moisture — finds slow leaks that haven't yet created sound.

Full detection ($275–$625): Combines acoustic and thermal with pressure isolation — the most thorough approach for unexplained water loss.
