If you suspect a leak but can’t find it, Spot on Septic offers professional, non-invasive leak detection services using advanced sound-based technology that zeroes in on the noise created by leaks in pressurized systems. This not only saves time but prevents unnecessary disruption to your landscape by zeroing in on the leak before digging. With years of experience and a commitment to customer satisfaction, our skilled technicians provide fast, affordable leak detection services when you need it the most.

Acoustic Leak Detection

At Spot On Septic, we utilize Sewerin Acoustic Leak Detection, an advanced sound-based technology that pinpoints leaks in pressurized systems. This method involves placing acoustic sensors outside of pipes to detect the distinct sounds created by water escaping through leaks. By isolating these sounds from ambient background noise, our technicians can accurately locate even the smallest leaks. This efficient and non-invasive approach makes it easier to identify and address leaks promptly, minimizing potential damage and water loss.

How It Works

Signs of a Water Leak

Early detection of a water leak can save you money and prevent extensive damage to your property. Here are six ways to find hidden water leaks:

Check Your Water Meter

To check for a plumbing leak, turn off all water in your home and monitor the water meter; if the meter changes immediately, you have a fast-moving leak, and if it changes after two hours, you likely have a slower leak. Keep in mind that any leaks after the meter are the homeowner’s responsibility.

Look at Your Usage

High winter water usage can indicate a leak. If you’re using more than 12,000 gallons of water per month for a family of four, there’s probably a serious leak in your plumbing system.

Monitor Your Bill

A consistently rising water bill without increased usage is a strong indicator of a leak. Take the time to compare bills over the past few months to see if there’s been a steady increase.

Grab Some Food Coloring

Toilets use up to 30 percent of the water in your home. To test for a leak, add food coloring to your toilet tank. If the color appears in the bowl after 10 minutes without flushing, you most likely have a leak.

Check Exterior Usage

Leaks can occur outside your home, so check outside spigots by attaching a garden hose; if water seeps through, replace the rubber gasket and ensure connections are tight. To prevent water waste, it’s important to have your irrigation system inspected annually, as small leaks can waste 6,300 gallons per month.

Use Common Sense

Regularly inspect cabinets and basins for mold or foul smells indicating leaks, and consider annual professional plumbing inspections to catch potential issues early. Be extra vigilant if your home is over 25 years old, checking all accessible connections for signs of slow leaks like oxidation or discoloration.
