Leak Detection & Pipe Repair in Manchester, NH

Quick answer

Finding hidden leaks (in walls, under floors, and in yards) with listening and pressure equipment before floors or walls are opened on a guess.

Leak detection in Manchester's plaster wall homes is an evidence discipline: water wicked through plaster shows rooms from its source, and the meter test, movement with every fixture off, is the first instrument, before any wall is opened. The locate is priced as its own step because in this stock an accurate locate is the difference between one small opening and a wall by wall search.

Signs you need leak detection & pipe repair

You can hear water running when every fixture is off
The meter moves with no water in use
A warm or damp spot on a floor, or a wall stain with no fixture above it
A water bill that jumped with no change in use
Musty smell at a floor line or baseboard that keeps returning

What the job involves

1. The meter and pressure tests come first: is there a leak, and is it on the supply side or a drain? Those two answers halve the search.

2. Listening equipment and, where useful, thermal imaging narrow the location before anything is opened.

3. The opening is made at the located point, sized to the repair, not exploratory.

4. The repair is made and pressure tested, and the rest of the run is assessed while access exists.

5. You get the location, the cause, and photos documented for your records or an insurance conversation.

What affects the price

Detection itself: $150 to $600 in published guides, depending on methods and time
Access at the located point (floor, wall, slab, or yard)
Repair versus reroute where a line under a slab or in a wall argues for going around instead of through
Pipe material and whether the leak is an event or a pattern

When it is an emergency

A hidden leak is a this week call that gets more expensive by the month: supply leaks run 24 hours a day, and the water is going into structure the whole time. If the meter moves and a floor spot is warm or a wall is damp, move it up to today. Detection before demolition is the cheap order of operations, always.
