Cost-Effective Underground Leak Detection Strategies for Five Forks

When a homeowner in Five Forks noticed an unexplained spike in their water bill, they contacted CB Smith Plumbing for help. The issue? A suspected hidden leak. Our team promptly responded with one of our core specialties: underground leak detection. Using modern tools and proven techniques, we quickly pinpointed the source of the problem beneath their property and delivered a cost-effective solution.

Alongside services like leak detection and repair, we help clients safeguard their homes from water damage and reduce utility expenses through fast, accurate diagnostics and dependable plumbing expertise.

We began by shutting off the home’s water supply to confirm the presence of a leak. Once confirmed, we deployed non-invasive equipment—such as acoustic listening devices and pressure sensors—to locate the exact point of failure underground without the need to excavate blindly.

Key benefits of this approach included:

• Minimal property disruption
• Faster turnaround time
• Accurate leak localization
• Lower repair costs

After locating the leak beneath a concrete walkway, our team carefully exposed the affected pipe section and discovered a small crack caused by root intrusion and ground shifting.

Once the issue was identified, we:

1. Removed the damaged pipe segment
2. Installed a new, high-durability replacement section
3. Tested the system for leaks and pressure
4. Restored the site to its original condition

The entire job was completed within a day, with no damage to the surrounding landscape and full functionality restored immediately.

Our approach to underground leak detection combines technology, experience, and customer-first service. We know how stressful hidden leaks can be, so we work fast to provide accurate results and lasting repairs—without unnecessary digging or guesswork.

Whether you're seeing signs of a leak or want to prevent future water damage, CB Smith Plumbing is the name Five Forks residents trust.
