Leak Detection in Burbank & Los Angeles
Find the leak before it finds your floors.
A water bill that jumped, the sound of water running when everything’s off, a damp wall, a warm spot on the floor — a hidden leak wastes water around the clock. Rooter Pros locates leaks in walls, under slabs and in yard lines with electronic and acoustic equipment, then repairs them with as little opening-up as possible.
Leak detection snapshot
Where hidden leaks hide:
- Walls & ceilings — supply lines and drains
- Under the slab — hot and cold lines in the foundation
- Yard & main line — meter to the house
- Fixtures — toilets, faucets, water heaters
Leak detection & repair
We find it, show you where it is, then fix it — one call.
Hidden leaks in walls
Water stains, bubbling paint, a musty smell. We trace supply and drain lines to the source before anything is opened up.
Slab leaks
Warm floors or running-water sounds can mean a line under the foundation. See slab leak repair for repair and reroute options.
Main water line leaks
A soggy strip of yard or a meter that won’t stop. We find the break between the meter and the house — see water line replacement.
Toilet & faucet leaks
A running toilet or dripping faucet can waste more than you’d think. Quick fixes on our toilet & faucet repair page.
Water heater leaks
A puddle under the tank or water at the relief valve. We tell you whether it’s a repair or a replacement.
Gas leaks
Smell gas? Leave the building first and call the gas company or 911 from outside. Once it’s safe, we repair the line — see gas line repair.
Signs of a hidden leak
Try the meter test first — it costs nothing.
The meter test
Turn off every fixture and watch the meter. If it moves, water is going somewhere. Step-by-step: how to find a hidden water leak.
A bill that jumped
No new habits, but a higher bill? Our guide covers the common causes of a high water bill.
Warm spots & running water
Warm floor spots, cracks and the sound of water with everything off point to the slab. Read the slab leak warning signs.

How it works
Confirm, pinpoint, repair.
Confirm the leak
We check the meter and isolate the system — house, yard, hot side or cold side — so we know where to look.
Pinpoint it
Electronic and acoustic equipment narrows it down to the spot, so repairs open as little as possible.
Flat-rate price, then repair
You approve the price, we repair the line, and we re-test to confirm the meter has stopped.
Leak detection FAQ
Straight answers before we start.
How do I know if I have a hidden leak?
Turn off every faucet, toilet, appliance and irrigation, then watch your water meter for a few minutes. If it moves, you likely have a leak. Our guide walks through it: how to find a hidden water leak. For every home test in order, including the toilet dye test and the warm floor check, see how to tell if you have a water leak.
How do you find a leak without tearing things up?
We isolate the system first, then use electronic and acoustic equipment to narrow the leak down to a spot. That keeps any opening small.
Will you have to open a wall or floor?
Sometimes a small access opening is needed to make the repair. We pinpoint first so it’s as small as possible, and we explain the options before anything is cut.
Is a leak an emergency?
If water is actively coming out, shut off the main water valve and call us 24/7 at (818) 669-9019. A slow hidden leak is urgent but not an emergency — book it soon.
Does insurance cover leak repair?
Coverage depends on your policy and the cause. Ask your insurer what documentation they need; we can provide photos and a written description of what we found.
