If your water bill jumped or you're hearing water running with everything shut off, you've got a hidden leak somewhere in your Niles home. We use electronic leak detection, thermal imaging, and pressure testing to find leaks without tearing your house apart — then fix them with the smallest possible repair footprint.
What we find on leak detection calls in Niles
Original supply piping in this era is galvanized steel, and galvanized rusts closed from the inside out. By the time a homeowner calls about pressure, the working diameter of a half-inch line is often down to the width of a pencil lead. Joints from this period were also soldered with lead, and shutoff valves that have not been turned in forty years usually will not turn now either.
On municipal water the pressure comes off the main, so when it drops the cause is normally inside the house rather than at the street. Moderate hardness is standard for this area and it is what shortens water heater life.
We run leak detection calls in Niles around McKinley Heights, Robbins Avenue, and East Park Avenue and along McKinley Memorial and Eastwood Mall. Service ZIP: 44446.

Leak Detection FAQs for Niles Homeowners
Do you cover McKinley Heights and the rest of Niles?
Yes. McKinley Heights is about 8 minutes from our Warren shop. On leak detection calls we ask what the supply piping is before quoting, because the pipe in the wall decides whether this is a repair or a repipe.
How do you find a leak inside a wall or under a slab?
Acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging, and line pressure testing. We isolate the leak to a specific spot before we open anything up — saves you from unnecessary drywall and concrete repair.
My water bill doubled — is it always a leak?
Usually. A running toilet flapper can add 50% to a bill. A slab leak can double or triple it. We'll do a full house leak check and find what's wasting water.
