• Electro-Acoustic Scanning: Using sensitive ground microphones, we listen for the specific frequency of escaping water through the slab.

Why Precision Diagnostics Save You Money

A "cheap" fix often becomes expensive if a contractor digs in the wrong place. Ascension Parish is built on alluvial and clay-heavy soils that shift during our wet and dry seasons. This movement puts immense pressure on rigid copper pipes found in older homes.

The Financial Value of Detection:

• Minimize Excavation: By locating the leak precisely, we reduce the repair hole from a trench to a small access point.
• Prevent Foundation Failure: Catching a leak early prevents the "gumbo clay" under your home from washing away or heaving, which causes structural cracks.
• Insurance Documentation: We provide detailed reports that help substantiate your insurance claim for coverage.

Identifying Hidden Leaks in Local Homes

Ascension Parish properties face specific risks. From the high water tables in St. Amant to the shifting ground in Prairieville, your plumbing is under constant stress.

Watch for these critical symptoms:

• The Spinning Meter: Your water meter registers flow even when all appliances are off.
• Moisture Migration: Water wicking up the drywall or ruining baseboards without a visible spill.
• Uneven Flooring: Cracks in tiles or warping wood caused by the slab swelling underneath.
• Moldy Odors: A persistent musty smell in a specific room, indicating trapped moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will finding the leak damage my flooring?

No. Our detection process is 100% non-invasive. We use acoustic and thermal technology to locate the leak through the floor materials. We only recommend breaking concrete during the repair phase (if you choose to proceed), and our precision location ensures the access hole is as small as possible.

Do you repair the leak once you find it?

We specialize in the diagnostic phase to ensure unbiased results. Once we pinpoint the leak, we provide a detailed report that acts as a blueprint for the repair. We can often provide the repair service ourselves or refer you to trusted specialists, ensuring the fix is targeted and efficient.

How quickly can you get to my home in Ascension Parish?

We understand that water leaks are time-sensitive. We strive to offer prompt scheduling for homeowners in Gonzales, Prairieville, and surrounding areas. Our local presence allows us to respond quickly to minimize potential water damage.

Is this covered by my homeowners' insurance?

In many Louisiana policies, the cost of "Access and Egress" (tearing out and replacing the part of the slab to get to the pipe) is covered, even if the pipe repair itself isn't. Our professional inspection reports are designed to help you document the location and nature of the leak for your adjuster.
