    Leak Detection FAQs

    Water leak and slab leak detection costs $400–$800, and main sewer line hydrostatic testing costs $575–$975. Your price is approved before work begins.

    The price covers finding the leak with equipment that does not tear up your home, plus a report of where it is. The repair itself is priced separately and you approve that price before we start.

    Most detection visits take one to two hours. A hydrostatic test on the main line takes about an hour.

    A water bill that jumps with no explanation, a warm or damp spot on the floor, the water meter turning with everything shut off, or the sound of running water inside a wall.

    Shut off the main water valve if you see water coming out, take photos for your insurance, then book online or call 956-686-6656.
