Advanced Leak Detection in Leesburg
Find the Leak. Stop the Damage. No Unnecessary Tearing of Walls.
How We Find Hidden Leaks Fast
At Stoney’s Plumbing, we don’t guess—we investigate. Utilizing 2026’s most advanced acoustic sensors and thermal imaging technology, we pinpoint leaks behind drywall, under concrete slabs, and beneath your Leesburg yard with pinpoint accuracy.
Acoustic Locating
High-sensitivity microphones allow our Master Plumbers to “hear” the vibration of water escaping from pipes deep underground or behind tiles.
Thermal Imaging
Infrared cameras detect temperature variances in your floors and walls, revealing hidden hot water leaks without drilling a single hole.
Tracer Gas Testing
For the most difficult-to-find leaks, we use safe tracer gases that penetrate soil and concrete, allowing us to locate small pinhole leaks instantly.
Signs You Have a Hidden Leak
- Unexplained High Water Bill: A sudden spike usually indicates a hidden continuous leak.
- Musty Odors: Damp smells often signal mold growth from a slow wall leak.
- Warm Spots on Floor: A warm area on a slab floor often points to a hot water line break.
- Running Meter: If your water meter is spinning while everything is off, you have a leak.

The Challenge:
A Leesburg homeowner noticed a massive spike in their water bill but saw no visible water. Traditional methods couldn’t locate the source beneath the finished basement slab.
The Stoney’s Tech:
We deployed Acoustic Leak Detection and Thermal Imaging to pinpoint a pinhole leak in the main copper line. No unnecessary floor demolition was required.
The Outcome: We repaired the line and integrated a Flo by Moen Smart Shut-Off system to prevent future damage. The homeowner now receives real-time flow data on their smartphone.
How We Locate & Fix Hidden Leaks
Our non-invasive process finds the source without the guesswork. Here is what to expect.
High-Tech Scan
We arrive at your Leesburg home and deploy Acoustic Sensors and Thermal Cameras to “see” and “hear” the leak behind walls or under slabs.
Pinpoint Map
Once the leak is isolated, we mark the exact location. This prevents unnecessary demolition, saving you thousands in drywall and flooring repairs.
Surgical Repair
Our Master Plumbers perform a targeted repair on the failing line. We use premium materials (Copper or PEX) to ensure a permanent, leak-free solution.
Smart Setup
We offer integration of a Smart Water Shut-Off Valve to monitor your system 24/7. Never worry about a hidden leak going unnoticed again.
