Signs a Leak Is Hiding Somewhere in Your Home
Most hidden leaks give some warning before they turn into a real problem, if you know what to look for.
A Water Bill Higher Than It Should Be
A water bill that climbs month over month, without any real change in household water use, is one of the clearest signs of a hidden leak somewhere in the system. Check Water Leaks and Slab Leaks.
A Wet Wall, Warped Floor, or Musty Room
A damp patch on a wall, warped flooring, or a musty smell in part of a property often means water is moving somewhere it should not be, even when there is no visible source nearby.
Water Pressure That Has Started to Fade
A sudden or gradual drop in water pressure can mean water is escaping the system before it ever reaches your fixtures. View Underground Leaks →.
Water You Can Hear Moving With No Fixture On
If you can hear water moving through pipes while every fixture is off, that sound is worth taking seriously rather than dismissing.
From a Ferry Crossing to a Borough: New Cumberland's Story
New Cumberland began as a ferry site where English, Irish, Scottish, and German settlers crossed Yellow Breeches Creek, before formal incorporation in 1831 as a commercial stop between Harrisburg and York, supported by early iron forge, grain mill, and lumber mill industries. The borough's historic core, walked by figures as notable as Charles Dickens and Abraham Lincoln in their time, has plumbing that has typically been repaired, rerouted, and updated many times across nearly two centuries. Properties nearer the creek or the Susquehanna riverfront can also face a different water table than those set further back. Pennsylvania's genuine winter freeze-thaw cycle adds stress regardless of a property's location or age.
Complete Leak Detection Coverage in New Cumberland
Plumbing Leak Detection
General plumbing leak detection covers leaks in supply lines, fittings, and connections throughout your property, wherever the actual source turns out to be. Read about Water Leaks →.
Slab Leak Detection
A slab leak occurs within or beneath a concrete foundation, and locating it accurately without unnecessary demolition is the entire point of proper detection equipment. See Slab Leaks →.
Underground Leak Detection
A leak in the main line before it reaches a property can waste significant water long before it becomes visible above ground. Explore Underground Leaks →.
Water Leak Detection
Beyond the slab and the main line, leaks can develop behind walls, under fixtures, or at appliance connections, each requiring a slightly different approach to locate accurately.
Sewer Leak Detection
A sewer line leak involves the wastewater system rather than a supply line, and camera inspection lets us see the interior condition of the line directly. View Sewer Inspection →.
Gas Leak Detection
Gas leak detection locates the source of a suspected leak so it can be properly repaired. If you smell gas right now, leave the property and call your gas utility company or 911 before anything else. View Gas Leaks →.
Pool Leak Detection
A pool losing more water than normal evaporation explains often points to a leak in a skimmer line, a return line, or the pool shell itself, located through pressure testing each line individually. See Pool Leaks →.
Radiant Heating Leak Detection
A leak in an in-floor radiant heating loop shows up as a heating problem, a cold spot or a system that will not hold pressure, rather than as visible water, and thermal imaging is especially effective at locating it. Explore Radiant Heating →.
Accurately Locating a Leak Without Disruption
Finding a leak should not mean guessing and cutting open walls or flooring to check.
Acoustic Leak Detection
Acoustic equipment listens for the specific sound water makes escaping a pressurized line, allowing a leak to be located without digging or demolition first.
Infrared Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging identifies temperature differences in a wall or floor that can indicate water is present where it should not be, since a wet area typically reads differently than dry surrounding material.
Video Pipe Inspection
A camera fed directly into a pipe provides a direct look at the interior condition of the line, useful for identifying cracks, blockages, or damage that would otherwise be invisible.

A Detection Report and Your Insurance Claim
