Leak Detection in Des Moines

A hidden leak puts you in a bad kind of limbo: you can hear it, or watch the meter creep, or smell it in a room, but you can’t tell if it’s a fitting you’d fix this afternoon or a line under the slab that changes your week. Worse, you can’t price it, plan it, or decide anything until someone finds it. Don’t wait until it’s too late. Lazer Home Services has handled leak detection in Des Moines since 2001, turning “something’s wrong somewhere” into one marked spot and a clear next step.

• How do I know if I have a hidden leak in my Des Moines home? A rising water bill, the sound of running water with everything off, musty smells, stains on walls or ceilings, and warm spots on the floor all point to a hidden leak. We locate it precisely.
• Do you have to tear open walls to find it? No. We use acoustic, electronic, and thermal tools to pinpoint the source first, so any access is targeted and minimal.
• Can you detect leaks under a slab? Yes. We locate slab and underground leaks with specialized equipment before recommending the least invasive repair.
• Are your plumbers licensed and insured? Every Lazer plumber is fully licensed and insured, and we complete all work to code.

Slab leaks, hidden supply-line drips, water showing up where you can’t trace it—our licensed technicians pinpoint the exact source before any repair begins, backed by our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. Once it’s found, our plumbing repair team makes it right—one of the Des Moines plumbing services we provide.

A hidden leak leaves clues long before you ever see the water. Watch for warning signs like:
• An unexplained jump in your water bill
• The sound of running water with everything off
• Warm spots or damp flooring
• A drop in water pressure

Common Hidden Leaks We Find

Hidden leaks tend to surface in a few places. These are the three our plumbers locate most across the metro:

Leaks beneath a slab or buried in the yard waste water and undermine foundations. We pinpoint them with specialized tools so the repair is targeted, not a guess. Finding them early is far cheaper than foundation damage. In older homes around Beaverdale and the East Village, slab and buried-line leaks are among the hardest to spot without the right tools. We separate detection from repair on every quote, so you always know exactly what each step costs.

Leaks inside walls and ceilings show up as stains, bubbling paint, and musty smells. We trace them to the source and repair with minimal opening so your home stays intact. Catching them early prevents mold and rot. Catching a behind-wall leak early can save thousands in drywall, flooring, and mold remediation. We also check adjacent areas, since water often travels far from where it first appears.

Aging supply lines and fixture connections develop slow leaks you cannot see. We find the exact point and repair it to code so the waste and damage stop. In older Des Moines homes, these are among the most common culprits. Pinpointing the source first is what lets us fix the leak with the least disruption to your home.
