An unexplained spike on the water bill, a damp patch on the floor with no obvious source, or the faint sound of running water somewhere in the walls — hidden leaks are frustrating precisely because you can't see them. Our Alton technicians use acoustic and thermal equipment to find them without tearing into walls or floors on a guess.
Detection equipment on every Alton truck means we don't have to guess and open drywall speculatively.
Locating the leak precisely keeps any necessary opening small and targeted rather than exploratory.
