Leak Surveys in Dix Hills, NY

Protect Your Long Island Property from Hidden Water Damage

In Dix Hills, a hidden leak is more than just a dripping noise; it is a threat to your home's foundation and your wallet. Between the harsh Long Island winters that stress plumbing pipes and the high property standards of our neighborhoods, ignoring a spike in your water bill or a damp spot on the ceiling is a risky gamble.

At American Leak Detection of New York, we specialize in finding the truth. We provide professional leak surveys that pinpoint the exact source of water intrusion. We don't guess, and we don't start tearing down drywall to "look around." We use advanced non-invasive technology to give you the clear answers you need to stop the damage before it gets expensive.

The Local Reality: Why Dix Hills Homes are Vulnerable

Living in this part of Long Island comes with specific challenges for homeowners. The environment here puts constant pressure on your home’s infrastructure.

Why leaks happen here:

• The "Winter Hangover": Our freeze-thaw cycles in winter cause the ground to shift. This movement can pull underground pipes apart or crack water mains leading to your house.
• Aging Infrastructure: Many beautiful ranch and colonial homes in Half Hollow Hills have plumbing systems that are decades old. Copper pipes eventually thin out (pinholes), and cast-iron drains can rust away.
• Basement Risks: With our local water table, a leak under your basement slab can go unnoticed for months until it ruins your finished flooring.
• The Financial Logic: Finding a leak early costs a fraction of what you would pay to remediate mold or repair a cracked foundation.

Our Technology: Seeing What You Can't

We use tools that allow us to inspect your home without making a mess. We respect your property and aim to leave no trace behind.

• Acoustic Listening: We use sensitive ground microphones to hear the vibration of water escaping pressurized pipes behind walls or under concrete slabs.
• Thermal Cameras: We scan your ceilings and floors for temperature differences. Wet insulation or drywall shows up clearly as a "cold spot" on our screens, even if the paint looks dry.
• Moisture Mapping: We can track exactly how far water has traveled inside a wall, so you know exactly how much repair is needed.

Phase 1: The Diagnostic Survey (Getting the Facts)

Our main service is the leak survey. Think of it as a specialized health check for your home.

• The Check: We review your water bills and symptoms (wet spots, sound of running water).
• The Scan: Our technician moves through your property with our electronic tools to locate the source.
• The Report: We give you a clear explanation of what is leaking and exactly where it is located. You get the hard data you need.

Phase 2: The Repair Option (Your Choice)

Once we hand you the report, our diagnostic job is done. The next step is entirely up to you.

How we handle repairs:

• We Can Fix It: We are licensed and equipped to perform plumbing repairs. If you want us to handle the fix immediately after the survey, we can provide a separate, straightforward price for that work.
• You Decide: If you prefer to call your own plumber or handle a minor fix yourself, our report gives you the exact location ("X marks the spot") so anyone can fix it easily. You are under no obligation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the survey damage my home?

No. Our survey is Non-Invasive. We use technology to "see" and "hear" through building materials. We do not need to pull up carpet or break tiles just to find the problem.

Can you find leaks in my irrigation system?

Yes. Underground sprinkler leaks are common in Dix Hills. We can isolate your irrigation lines to determine if that is the cause of your high water bill or soggy lawn.

How fast can you get here?

We know that water damage gets worse by the hour. We strive to schedule leak surveys within a few days of your call, and we prioritize urgent situations whenever possible.

Does the survey price include the repair?

No. The survey and the repair are two different services. The survey pays for the expert time and technology to find the issue. Fixing it is a separate cost, which we will quote for you once we know exactly what needs to be done.
