A water leak you cannot see can still cause thousands of dollars in damage. If your water bill spiked without explanation, your floors feel soft in spots, or you hear water running when all fixtures are off, there is probably a hidden leak somewhere. Advantage Plumbing Heating and Air finds and fixes hidden leaks across Dayton, Ohio. Call (937) 519-1430 to schedule an inspection.
We handle leak detection calls throughout this area regularly. Older homes near the Dayton Art Institute often have aging supply lines that develop slow leaks inside walls and under slabs. Our team is based here, licensed under Ohio plumbing license 51044, and has been doing this work since 2020.
Hidden leaks are tricky because water does not always appear where the pipe is failing. A pinhole leak in a supply line inside a wall can travel down the framing before it shows up on the floor below. We use acoustic listening equipment and moisture meters to locate the source without opening walls first.
The inspection process starts with a pressure test and a walkthrough. We listen for the sound of running water in walls and floors, check water pressure at multiple points, and use moisture meter readings to narrow down the location. Once we identify the area, we give you a written estimate for the repair before we open anything.
Most leak repairs in older homes in this area involve supply line sections, fittings, or shutoff valves that have corroded over time. Water here is moderately hard, and mineral buildup inside aging copper or galvanized lines accelerates wear at joints and bends. We fix the failed section and pressure-test the full line before closing the wall.
Our diagnostic fee is $258.52 during standard hours. When the diagnosis wraps up in under an hour and you sign off on the repair the same day, that fee does not apply to your bill. Every repair carries a minimum 1-year labor warranty.
If we find that a larger section of pipe is failing, we give you both options. Sometimes a spot repair makes sense. Other times, repiping a section costs less in the long run than repeated spot fixes on corroded pipe. We lay out both paths with pricing and let you decide.
We also inspect for slab leaks. If your hot water usage is high without explanation, or your floor is warm in a specific spot, a slab leak may be the cause. We can identify the location and walk you through the repair options without fabricating a problem.
