Emergency Leak Detection | Holloway Plumbing

Far too often, the most destructive plumbing problems are the ones you can’t see. A hidden water leak in your walls, under your foundation, or in your yard can silently cause thousands of dollars in damage, promote dangerous mold growth, and even compromise the structural integrity of your home. Here in Hill Country, where foundations shift and water chemistry can be tough on pipes, being proactive about leaks isn’t just smart, it’s downright essential.

At Holloway Plumbing, we believe in hunting down problems with precision, not a sledgehammer. For nearly 50 years, our family has provided expert leak detection services to our friends and neighbors in Kerrville, Boerne, Fredericksburg, and all across the region. When you suspect a leak, you need a team with the right gear and the grit to find it fast. You need Holloway Plumbing.

Why Fast Action is Non-Negotiable for Hidden Leaks

Water can saturate drywall, rot wood framing, and even erode the soil supporting your foundation, leading to serious and costly Slab Leak Repair. Trapped moisture is the perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew, which can cause respiratory issues and other health problems. A single pinhole leak can waste thousands of gallons of water, driving up your utility bills until it’s located and fixed.

Our High-Tech, No-Guesswork Approach

A hidden leak is an active threat to your property. The longer you wait, the more severe the consequences become. So when you call Holloway Plumbing, we spring into action. We utilize state-of-the-art, non-invasive technology that pinpoints the exact location of any leak without tearing your home apart. Our certified technicians arrive ready with:

  • Acoustic & Electronic Listening Devices: We use sophisticated sensors to “listen” for the distinct sound of water escaping from a pressurized pipe, even deep underground or behind thick walls.
  • Thermal Imaging Cameras: These cameras allow us to see temperature differences, quickly identifying hot water leaks under floors and behind walls without any physical intrusion.
  • Tracer Gas Detection: For the most elusive leaks, we can introduce a safe, non-toxic gas into your pipes and use a “sniffer” to detect where it’s escaping.
  • Pressure Testing: We can isolate sections of your plumbing system to confirm which line is compromised, narrowing down the search and saving valuable time.

We Find and Fix All Types of Leaks

With decades of experience, there isn’t a leak we haven’t seen or solved. We provide top detection services and Emergency Plumbing Repairs for:

  • Slab Leaks: Breaks in water lines beneath your concrete foundation.
  • Pinhole Leaks: Small but destructive corrosion-based leaks common in copper pipes.
  • Fixture & Valve Leaks: Faulty supply lines, angle stops, and fixture connections under sinks and behind toilets.
  • Wall & Ceiling Leaks: Leaks from pipes running between floors or inside walls.
  • Main Service Line Leaks: The pipe bringing water from the street meter to your home.

Once we’ve found the leak, we provide clear, upfront pricing on your repair options. Whether it’s a simple spot repair, a more robust pipe reroute, or a full whole-home repipe, we’ll help you choose the best long-term solution. In the case of big jobs, we do have outstanding financing options available. Need a plumber now

FAQ: Do I Need Emergency Leak Detection?

My water bill spiked but usage hasn’t—do I have a leak?

Quite likely! An unexplained jump is one of the most common early signs of a hidden leak. If your household habits haven’t changed but your bill has escalated, schedule leak detection services.

A persistent warm patch on tile, wood, or concrete could very well indicate that a hot water line is leaking beneath the slab. This warrants immediate professional action.

Yes. Hearing sounds like running water, hissing pipes, or dripping sounds with fixtures off is a red flag for a pressurized line leak behind walls, under floors, or beneath the slab.

Moisture staining, musty odors, bubbling paint, or warped materials usually signal a concealed pipe leak. Address it quickly to prevent mold and structural damage.

A sudden pressure drop or poor flushing from your toilets can point to a significant break or ongoing leak in a supply line. Professional isolation and pressure testing can confirm.

It very well could be. Pooling water or unusually lush grass patches can indicate a main service line leak in your yard. Fast detection prevents erosion and foundation issues.

Leave immediately and call your gas utility or 911 from a safe distance. Gas leaks are an emergency for first responders and the utility—not a plumbing service.

Holloway Plumbing – Insurance & Financing Options

Homeowner’s insurance policies often cover the cost of leak detection and resulting water damage, but not always the plumbing repair itself. We recommend contacting your agent to understand your specific coverage. For larger projects, we offer flexible Plumbing Financing to ensure you don’t have to delay a critical repair. Remember, your leak problem will only get worse if left unattended.
