Leak Detection & Repair in Indianapolis, IN
Hearing water when nothing is running? Watching your bill climb? We pinpoint hidden leaks without tearing your home apart.
Hidden leaks are the most expensive plumbing problem an Indianapolis homeowner will ever face — not because the repair is large, but because by the time you see the damage, you've already paid for months of wasted water and the subfloor underneath. Our leak detection team uses acoustic listening discs, thermal imaging, and tracer-gas testing to find leaks behind drywall, under slab, and inside walls without exploratory demolition.
What's Included
- Whole-home pressure isolation testing to confirm an active leak exists
- Acoustic listening to locate pressurized water leaks under slab
- Thermal-imaging scans of walls, ceilings, and floors
- Tracer-gas testing for slow leaks acoustic methods can't find
- Toilet flapper and silent fixture-leak diagnosis
- Slab-leak repair via pinpoint access or full reroute through the attic
- Citizens Energy leak-credit documentation for your account
Our Process
- 1
Confirm There's a Leak

- 2
Locate the Source
Acoustic, thermal, and tracer gas as needed — chosen for the pipe material and location.
- 3
Mark & Quote
We mark the leak point on the wall or floor, then present access vs. reroute options in writing.
- 4
Repair & Verify
Pressure-test the repair, document for your records, and provide paperwork for any utility credit.

Slab Leaks, Citizens Energy Credits, and Why Indy Homes Hide Leaks
Citizens Energy Group offers a leak-adjustment credit on your water bill when a documented leak is repaired by a licensed plumber — but only if you submit the paperwork within their window. We complete that documentation as part of every repair. Geographically, post-1970 slab-on-grade homes south of I-465 are our most common slab-leak callers; the copper supply lines run through the slab and corrode against the concrete over time. In two-story Center Township homes the failure is more often a bathroom drain leaking onto the first-floor ceiling — which thermal imaging finds in minutes versus the days it takes by trial and error.

Frequently Asked Questions
Signs I might have a hidden leak?+
Climbing water bill with no usage change, warm spots on the floor, faint running-water sound at the meter, or unexplained mold/mildew smells.
Will you have to cut into my walls or floor?+
Only at the precise point we've located — usually a single 6-inch access opening, not exploratory demolition.
How accurate is acoustic detection?+
On pressurized lines under slab, typically within 6–12 inches of the actual leak. Tracer gas can refine that further when needed.
Do you fix the leak or just locate it?+
Both — same visit when access allows. We quote the repair on-site after locating.
How do I get the Citizens Energy leak credit?+
We provide the licensed-plumber repair documentation they require. You attach it to their adjustment form within the eligibility window.
