So What’s in a “Leak Test?”
Hydrostatic Pressure Testing
This type of test is performed on the sanitary sewer system of your home. Using an inflatable ball that is inserted into the mainline sewer clean out, the plumber will inflate the ball to plug the sewer line. The leak detection expert then fills the sewer system with water up to the level of the slab, for 10-15 minutes and just watches what the water level does at this point. If the water does not rise to the slab or the water level goes down, you have a leak in the sanitary sewer system. The leak detection expert will then identify the leaks by using a video camera, static leak isolation and general inspection of the pipe. A camera is put into the system through several areas including cleanouts, toilet drains, even the vents on your roof! Knowing the depth of the plumbing pipe and having the camera both assist the plumber to locate the issues in the system which can be related to breaks in the line, clogging, old and deteriorated pipes.

The Leak Detection Experts Hurst Relies On
Leak detection is a specialty, not a side service, and at Matrix Plumbing it’s the core of what we do. Our trucks say “Got Leaks?” for a reason. Our technicians are specifically trained to handle slab leaks, water leaks, sewer issues, and the “I don’t know where the water is coming from” calls that stump other plumbers. Hurst homes built on concrete slabs are especially prone to hidden leaks in the copper and water lines beneath the foundation, where a problem can go undetected until it causes real damage.
We use specialized detection equipment to pinpoint the exact location of a leak without tearing your home apart in the process. Once we’ve found it, you get a clear explanation of where the leak is, what’s causing it, and what the repair involves, with honest pricing before any work starts. With over 50 years of combined experience across the Matrix Plumbing family, you’re getting a team that has seen it all and knows how to find what others miss.
Signs You Have a Hidden Plumbing Leak
Hidden leaks usually leave clues before they become a full emergency. Watch for these warning signs:
- A spike in your water bill: An unexplained jump in your water bill makes it clear that water is leaking in your home.
- The sound of running water: Hearing water run when every fixture is turned off points to water moving through a pipe it shouldn’t be.
- Warm spots on the floor: A warm area on a slab floor often signals a hot water line leaking beneath the foundation.
- Cracks in walls or flooring: New cracks, or a shifting and settling foundation, can mean a slab leak is undermining the soil beneath your home.
- Damp or discolored spots: Stains or moisture on walls, ceilings, or floors with no obvious source usually trace back to a concealed leak.
- Musty odors: A persistent musty smell in one area often means moisture from a hidden leak is feeding mold or mildew.
- Low water pressure: A drop in pressure throughout the home can mean water is leaking out before it reaches your faucets.
- Mildew or mold growth: Mold appearing without an obvious water source frequently points to a leak behind the surface.
If any of these sound familiar, the meter test is a quick way to confirm whether water is being lost. Catching a leak early always means a simpler, less expensive repair.
Our Reliable Leak Detection Process
Every leak detection visit starts with a conversation about the warning signs you’ve noticed, including rising water bills, damp areas, reduced water pressure, or the sound of running water behind walls or beneath floors. Our technicians then inspect the affected area along with nearby plumbing components to narrow down the most likely source of the leak before moving into advanced diagnostic testing.
Using specialized leak detection equipment, we locate the exact source of the problem while minimizing unnecessary disruption to walls, flooring, landscaping, and other parts of the property. Once the leak is identified, we explain the findings clearly, review available repair solutions, and provide straightforward pricing before any work begins.

Commonly Asked Questions About Leak Detection
Can hidden leaks cause structural damage to a home?
Yes. Undetected plumbing leaks can lead to water damage inside walls, beneath flooring, and around foundations, which may eventually weaken structural materials so it’s important to get plumbing repair as soon as possible.
Will you have to break up my floors or walls to find the leak?
In most cases, no. We use specialized detection equipment to locate leaks accurately before any cutting, which keeps disruption to your home as minimal as possible.
Can you detect leaks under my concrete slab?
Yes. Slab leaks are one of our specialties. We locate leaks beneath the foundation precisely so the repair can be targeted rather than guesswork.
Do you work with insurance companies on leak claims?
Yes. We’re a preferred vendor for most carriers and work directly with homeowners and adjusters, providing the detailed leak test documentation insurance claims require.
