Leak Detection Services in Milton in Milton, ON
Find hidden leaks without tearing your home apart.
Some leaks announce themselves with a dripping ceiling. The expensive ones don't. They run silently inside walls, under slabs, and behind kitchen cabinets for months — sometimes years — before a stain appears or the water bill spikes. Stonegate Plumber Milton uses non-invasive electronic, acoustic, and thermal leak-detection equipment to pinpoint leaks to within a few centimetres so the only drywall we touch is the drywall covering the actual problem.
Why it matters
Slow hidden leaks are the leading cause of mould growth, structural rot, and elevated humidity in Milton homes. They also distort water bills and can cause foundation movement when they soak the soil under a footing.
Common causes
- Pinhole leaks in copper supply lines
- Failed compression fittings under sinks
- Cracked toilet flanges and wax seals
- Slab penetrations corroding where copper meets concrete
- Aging shower pan liners
Warning signs
- Higher water bill with no usage change
- Warm spot on a basement slab
- Persistent musty smell in a closet or wall cavity
- Hairline crack in drywall that keeps reappearing after patching
- Sound of running water when nothing is on
Our process
Meter check
We isolate the home and watch the water meter to confirm a leak exists and estimate its rate.
Thermal scan
Infrared imaging shows temperature differences caused by water behind walls and under floors.
Acoustic pinpoint
Ground microphones and amplified listening sticks narrow the leak to a precise location.
Repair plan
We give you a written report — what we found, where, photos, and a fixed-price repair quote.
Tools and technology
FLIR thermal cameras, FISHER acoustic sets, tracer-gas equipment for buried lines, and moisture mapping meters. The combination of tools is what makes detection accurate — no single device finds every leak.
Pricing
Standard residential leak detection is offered at a flat visit rate, fully credited toward the repair if you have us complete the work.
FAQ
Will you damage my walls or floors?
Detection itself is non-invasive. Repair may require a small access hole, but we keep openings as small as possible.
Can you find a leak under the slab?
Yes. Slab leaks are one of our most common detection jobs in Milton's older bungalow neighbourhoods.
How long does detection take?
Most homes are scanned in under two hours.
