Repairs are priced on their own once the leak is found. That way you only pay to fix what is actually broken.

What makes the price go up or down?

Six things change the price most: the type of leak, how easy the pipes are to reach, the size of the home, how many lines need testing, the time of day, and whether you need a written report for insurance. A single leak behind a known wall costs less than a whole-house search under a slab.

• Leak type. A drip in a wall is faster to find than a pinhole under the slab.
• Access. Furniture over the leak area, a finished garage or tile floors add time.
• Home size. Bigger homes have more pipe to test.
• Hot or cold side. Some searches need both lines tested separately.
• After-hours calls. Nights and weekends can cost more.
• Reports. Photo reports for insurance or a home sale take extra time.

Is a slab leak search more expensive?

Yes, a little. A slab leak search costs about $250 to $600 because the technician has to isolate each line, pressure-test it, then listen through the concrete and scan with a thermal camera. The extra time is worth it. Finding the exact spot means a small hole in the floor, not trenches through the house.

Arlington's clay soil swells and shrinks with the weather, which puts stress on pipes under the slab. Our slab leak detection Arlington service finds these leaks fast. If you see warning signs, read our slab leak signs guide first.

How much does a pool leak search cost?

Pool and spa leak detection in Arlington usually costs $250 to $550. The price covers a pressure test of the lines, an acoustic search and a dye test of fittings, lights and cracks. Run a bucket test first so you know you are paying to find a real leak.

How can I keep the cost down?

Do a water meter test before you call, write down what you have noticed and when it started, clear the area around the water heater and any warm or wet spots, and know where your main shut-off valve is. Good notes help the technician start in the right place, which saves time on the visit.

1. Turn off every tap and appliance, then watch the meter's low-flow dial for 15 minutes.
2. Note any warm floors, wet spots, new cracks or a jump in your water bill.
3. Move furniture and rugs off any suspect areas.
4. Find your main water shut-off valve.
5. Ask for the price before work starts.

How do I choose the right company?

Pick a leak detection company that uses acoustic, thermal and pressure tools, gives the price before it starts, and shows you where the leak is before anyone cuts or digs. Ask what the visit includes and whether repairs are priced separately. Avoid anyone who wants to start opening walls or floors before testing.

That is how we work. As a local leak detection company, we find the leak first and price the repair second. Read how leak detection works to see each tool.
