Leak Detection & Repair in Kitchener, Waterloo & Cambridge
Locate hidden leaks accurately, then fix them with minimal damage.
Not every leak announces itself with a puddle on the floor. A supply line inside a wall, a fitting under a slab-on-grade bath, or a slow toilet flapper can run up your water bill for months while mould grows out of sight. In Waterloo Region's older housing stock, we see meter spins with everything off, warm spots on concrete, and musty basements long before drywall is visibly stained.
Flowline combines isolation testing, pressure holds, acoustic listening, and targeted access to find leaks without tearing out entire rooms speculatively. Once located, we repair with code-approved materials and leave a clear patch list if finish carpentry is separate.
Early detection is cheaper than cabinet replacement, subfloor repair, and insurance deductibles. If your bill jumped with no change in habits, that's worth a call.
