We help locate slab leaks, hidden plumbing leaks, underground water leaks, sewer line problems, water intrusion and other difficult-to-find sources of water.

Find Hidden Water Leaks Before They Cause More Damage
Hidden plumbing leaks can be difficult to diagnose because the source may be beneath a concrete slab, behind a wall, underneath flooring, above a ceiling or underground.
Water can also travel away from the location of the actual plumbing failure. A wet floor, damp wall, damaged cabinet or water stain may appear several feet away from the pipe or fitting that is leaking.
Professional leak detection helps narrow down the likely source of the problem before unnecessary demolition, excavation or exploratory repair work begins.
Know You Have a Water Problem -- But Can't Find the Source?
Louisiana Leak Detection helps Northshore homeowners, businesses, plumbers and property managers investigate hidden water problems and determine where the water is actually coming from.
Signs You May Have a Hidden Water Leak
Some leaks produce obvious water. Others remain concealed until a homeowner notices a change somewhere else in the property.
Common warning signs include:
- Unexpected increase in your water bill
- Water meter moving when fixtures are turned off
- Sound of running or dripping water
- Warm areas on tile or other flooring
- Damp or discolored flooring
- Water stains on walls or ceilings
- Moisture around cabinets or baseboards
- Buckling or swelling flooring
- Musty or damp odors
- Low or inconsistent water pressure
- Persistent wet or soft areas outside
- Moisture around the foundation
- Recurring water damage with no obvious source
Northshore Leak Detection Services
Louisiana Leak Detection investigates a variety of concealed plumbing and water problems throughout St. Tammany Parish and surrounding Northshore communities.
Slab Leak Detection
Plumbing lines located beneath concrete foundations can develop leaks that remain hidden until you notice high water usage, warm flooring, unexplained moisture or the sound of running water.
Leak detection can help narrow down the suspected location before concrete, tile or other flooring is unnecessarily removed.
Plumbing Leak Detection
Plumbing leaks can develop behind walls, beneath flooring, above ceilings and in other concealed parts of a property's plumbing system.
Identifying the likely source before repair work begins can reduce guesswork and help make the eventual plumbing repair more targeted.
Underground Water Leak Detection
Underground water-line leaks may cause high water usage, reduced pressure, wet soil, soft areas in the yard or unexplained moisture near the home or building.
Narrowing down the suspected area before excavation can help reduce unnecessary digging and disruption to the property.
Sewer Line Leak Detection
Sewer and drain-line problems can be difficult to identify when piping is concealed underground or beneath the structure.
Diagnostic leak detection can help determine the likely affected area before repair work begins.
High Water Bill Leak Detection
A sudden increase in your water bill without a change in normal water use may indicate a concealed plumbing, slab or underground leak.
Water Intrusion Detection
Not every water problem originates from plumbing. Moisture that appears during or after rain may involve exterior walls, windows, doors, flashing, roofing or other portions of the building envelope.
High Water Bill but No Visible Leak?
An unexplained increase in water usage is one of the most common reasons property owners begin looking for a hidden leak.
If faucets, toilets, appliances and other obvious sources appear normal, water may be escaping from a concealed line behind a wall, beneath flooring, underground or below a concrete slab.
A water meter that continues showing usage when plumbing fixtures are not operating may also be an indication that additional investigation is appropriate.
Is the Water Coming From Plumbing or From Outside?
Unexplained moisture inside a Northshore property does not automatically mean a plumbing line is leaking.
Water that appears regardless of weather conditions may indicate a plumbing-related problem. Moisture that appears primarily during heavy rain or wind may instead involve exterior water intrusion.
Determining which type of water problem you have is an important first step toward making the correct repair.

Why Locate the Leak Before Opening Walls or Floors?
The place where water becomes visible is not always the location where the plumbing system failed.
Water may travel beneath flooring, through wall cavities, along framing or beneath a foundation before appearing somewhere else. Opening materials based only on where moisture is visible can expose water damage without exposing the actual source.
Leak detection helps narrow down the suspected source first so plumbers, contractors and property owners have better information before repair work begins.
Has the Hidden Leak Already Caused Water Damage?
A concealed plumbing or slab leak can allow water to spread beneath flooring, behind drywall, around cabinets, into insulation and into other moisture-sensitive building materials before anyone realizes a leak exists.
Locating and repairing the source stops additional water from escaping, but materials that are already wet may still require moisture evaluation, drying or restoration.
If you already see damaged flooring, wet drywall, swollen cabinets, staining or other signs of property damage, mention those conditions when scheduling your leak detection appointment.

Northshore Leak Detection FAQs
What are the most common signs of a hidden water leak?
Common warning signs include an unexplained increase in the water bill, water-meter activity when fixtures are off, damp or warm flooring, water stains, musty odors, reduced water pressure and recurring moisture with no obvious source.
Can you locate slab leaks on the Northshore?
Leak detection can help narrow down suspected plumbing leaks beneath concrete slabs and foundations before unnecessary demolition or flooring removal begins.
Can you locate underground water leaks?
Underground leaks may cause increased water usage, reduced water pressure, wet soil or unexplained moisture around the property. Leak detection can help narrow down the suspected affected area.
Why is my water bill high if I cannot see a leak?
Water may be escaping from a concealed plumbing line, beneath a concrete slab or underground. A high water bill with no visible source is a common reason to consider professional leak detection.
Can you find plumbing leaks behind walls?
Hidden plumbing leaks can occur inside walls, above ceilings, beneath floors and in other concealed areas. Leak detection can help narrow down the suspected source before repair work begins.
What if the water only appears when it rains?
Moisture that appears primarily during rain may involve exterior water intrusion rather than a plumbing leak. Louisiana Leak Detection also investigates difficult-to-find water intrusion problems.
What happens after the leak is located?
Once the suspected source has been identified, the appropriate plumbing or building repair can be determined. If water has affected flooring, drywall, cabinets or other materials, additional moisture evaluation, drying or restoration may also be necessary.
