Transparent, Upfront Pricing
100% Satisfaction Guarantee
Hidden household water leaks waste thousands of gallons and quietly destroy slabs, drywall and flooring. You likely need leak detection if:
Your water bill jumped with no change in usage
Cracks appearing in flooring, drywall or the foundation
Persistently damp carpet, musty odour or unexplained mould
Low water pressure in the house that you cannot trace to one fixture
Your water meter dial moves when everything is turned off
Green patches or soggy ground in an otherwise dry yard
At APES, leak detection means locating the problem precisely before anyone picks up a jackhammer:
Whole-home pressure testing and meter isolation
Electronic acoustic under-slab leak detection
Thermal imaging for hidden wall leaks
Camera inspection and line tracing
Slab leak repair, reroute or repipe
Written findings and photos for insurance
Guessing at a leak’s location is how homeowners end up with four holes in a slab and the leak still running. Here is why professional detection matters:
A slab leak left running erodes the soil supporting your foundation and causes settling that costs far more than the plumbing repair.
Acoustic and thermal equipment pinpoints the leak to within inches, so we open one small area instead of exploring.
Concealed moisture behind drywall grows mould within 48-72 hours. Early detection protects indoor air quality.
A single pinhole leak can waste over 90,000 gallons a year. Finding it pays for the service.
Documented, professional findings give your carrier what it needs to approve sudden-loss water damage claims.
We review your water bill, meter behaviour and symptoms to confirm a leak exists and narrow down where it is.
You receive a flat detection fee upfront and a separate repair quote once the leak is located. No surprises.
Our technicians pressure-test the system and use acoustic, thermal and line-tracing equipment to pinpoint the leak.
We repair by the least invasive method available spot repair, reroute or repipe then re-pressurise and confirm the system holds.
We show you the failure point, explain why it happened, and advise on pressure regulation and repipe timing if the lines are ageing.
Do not wait for the stain on the ceiling. Trust APES for slab leak repair in Phoenix AZ that finds the problem the first time and repairs it without wrecking your home.
A five-minute check every month catches most household water leaks early:
Turn off every fixture, note the meter reading, wait two hours, and read it again. Movement means a leak.
Add food colouring to the tank. Colour in the bowl within 15 minutes means a failing flapper see our toilet repair page for the fix.
Irrigation valves, the water softener during regeneration, the pool autofill, hose bibs and the water heater pan are the usual suspects.
Run a dry hand along supply lines and P-traps monthly to feel for moisture you cannot see.
Compare month to month. An unexplained 20% rise almost always means a leak.
Look for rust stains or standing water around the pan.
Pressure above 80 PSI causes pinhole leaks. A pressure regulator protects the whole system.
With the house quiet and everything off, running water is audible through the slab.

Warm spots on the floor, the sound of running water with everything off, an unexplained jump in your water bill, damp or warped flooring, a water heater that runs constantly, and a water meter that moves when no water is in use.
We combine acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and line tracing to locate the leak to within a few inches. In most cases only one small access point is opened.
It depends on the location of the leak, how much flooring and concrete must be opened, and whether the fix is a spot repair, a reroute or a repipe. We quote a flat detection fee first, then price the repair options side by side.
Shut off every fixture and watch your water meter for two hours. Any movement means water is escaping somewhere in the system. That is your signal to call.
Most policies cover the resulting water damage but not the pipe repair itself. Our written findings and photo documentation support your claim.
One isolated failure usually justifies a spot repair. Multiple failures in the same copper system usually mean a reroute or whole-house repipe is the better value.
It can. If pressure drops across every fixture at once and your meter is moving with the water off, the loss is somewhere between the meter and your taps often under the slab.
Yes. We pressure-test and trace irrigation, pool supply, gas and main service lines alongside interior plumbing. If you smell gas, leave the house first and call 911 and Southwest Gas from outside.
