Find Hidden Water Leaks Without Unnecessary Damage to Your Home
A hidden water leak can cause serious damage long before the source becomes visible. Whether it's an unexplained increase in your water bill, the sound of running water, or moisture appearing beneath flooring, finding the source quickly can make a significant difference.
At In Demand Plumbing, Heating & Air, we use the professional-grade Pipehorn LD-12 Electronic Water Leak Detector to help locate concealed leaks in pressurized water lines.
This specialized acoustic detection equipment amplifies sounds created by water escaping from a damaged pipe, allowing our technicians to listen for potential leak locations beneath concrete slabs, underground, or behind accessible building surfaces.
Instead of immediately opening walls or breaking concrete to search for a leak, we can use acoustic testing to narrow down the suspected location and determine where further investigation or repairs may be necessary.
Why homeowners benefit:
- Less Unnecessary Demolition: Helps narrow down suspected leak locations before opening walls or concrete.
- More Targeted Repairs: Better information can help technicians plan where to access damaged piping.
- Potentially Lower Repair Costs: Reducing exploratory demolition may help limit unnecessary restoration expenses.
- Earlier Leak Detection: Helps investigate unexplained water loss before additional damage develops.
- Professional Diagnosis: Specialized listening equipment provides information beyond what a visual inspection alone can reveal.
- Protect Your Property: A more focused investigation can help preserve flooring, landscaping, and other property features.
Our technicians combine professional leak detection equipment with plumbing experience and additional testing when necessary to determine the most appropriate repair strategy.
Find the leak. Limit the damage. Make informed repair decisions.
Additional features
- Helps compare listening locations and narrow down the suspected leak
- Supports testing on concrete, pavement, soil, valves, and accessible piping
- Helps identify a more targeted location for further investigation
- Can reduce the need for exploratory digging or demolition

Your questions
Leak Detection questions.
Does leak detection include the repair?
The investigation and repair scope depend on the problem. We discuss the findings and proposed repair separately so you understand the work involved.
What are signs of a hidden water leak?
Unexpected water use, damp areas, staining, warm flooring or the sound of water when fixtures are off can justify further investigation.
Can water appear far away from the actual leak?
Yes. Water can travel along building materials, which is why the visible moisture is not always directly at the source.
Does leak detection include opening walls or floors?
The goal is to narrow down the source before planning access. Any required opening or repair scope is discussed after the findings are reviewed.
Can leak detection find underground water-line leaks?
Some underground supply-line leaks can be investigated depending on the property, symptoms and accessible system information.
Do you serve homes outside Martinez?
Yes. Explore our service areas or contact our team about your property address.

Matt was very communicative and kept us informed as to what he needed to do. In Demand was reasonable in their pricing...they dug a new trench & laid new PVC from the water meter to the house.

I call In Demand whenever I have plumbing issues or needs. Every technician who has done work and installations for me is professional, knowledgeable, courteous and friendly. I especially appreciate that they wear booties, that they respect my home then clean up and leave my home as neat and tidy as it was when they started working. Thank you to Elijah for finding and ordering the bathroom sink faucet I wanted then coming back to replace my old one when it arrived. Their 24 hour service number is terrific so you can call anytime and talk to a real, live person to make an appointment. Ben did an excellent job scheduling my appointments and communicating with me once my faucet had been delivered then Elijah came to install it the following day. I don't like when plumbing problems arise, but I like and appreciate knowing I can count on In Demand in Antioch when needed!

As usual In Demand gave the best service, Don came exactly when the arrival window time started (2-5). Arrived promptly at 2. I once again clogged the drain and he was able to fix it quickly and showed me the issue and how it was all cleared. He told me if we have further issues they will come back (I should just stop putting food down the drain). As always 10/10 service and he was so good with my puppy who insisted she helped 😂
