Water Leak Detection Services in Toronto
A hidden water leak can waste thousands of litres, raise your water bill and rot drywall, subfloors and framing long before you see a stain. POM Plumbing provides professional leak detection and leak repair across Toronto and the GTA. Our licensed plumbers use non-invasive water leak detection equipment to pinpoint the exact source behind walls, under floors, in ceilings and below concrete slabs, so we open only what needs to be opened and fix the leak in the same visit whenever possible.
We handle plumbing leak detection for houses, condos, townhomes and commercial buildings, from a slow drip under a vanity to a pressurised supply line leaking inside a ceiling.
Non-Invasive Leak Detection Methods We Use
01
Acoustic Leak Detection
Sensitive ground and wall microphones pick up the sound of water escaping from pressurised pipes, even under concrete or behind tile.
02
Thermal Imaging
Infrared cameras show temperature differences caused by hot-water leaks and wet insulation without removing drywall.
03
Moisture Mapping
Pin and pinless moisture meters map how far water has travelled so we can find the source and the full extent of the damage.
04
Pressure & Isolation Testing
We isolate supply lines and watch for pressure drop to confirm which line is leaking and how fast.
05
Video Pipe Inspection
A camera inspection locates cracked, separated or root-damaged drain pipes that leak under the floor or outside the foundation.
06
Water Meter Check
We read your water meter with all fixtures off to confirm a hidden leak and measure its flow before any opening is made.
Signs You Have a Hidden Water Leak
- Water bill went up without a change in use
- Water meter keeps moving with every tap closed
- Stains, bubbling paint or soft drywall on walls and ceilings
- Musty smell or mould in cabinets or the basement
- Warm spots on the floor, a sign of a slab leak on a hot-water line
- Sound of running water when nothing is on

Leak Detection & Repair Process and Cost
How Our Leak Detection Service Works
- Call and describe the symptoms. We ask about stains, sounds and your water bill so the plumber arrives with the right equipment.
- Confirm the leak. Meter and pressure tests show whether water is escaping and from which line.
- Pinpoint the source. Acoustic, thermal and moisture tools locate the leak without tearing out walls.
- Repair the leak. We open a small access point, replace the damaged fitting or section and pressure-test the line.
- Report for insurance. You get photos, readings and a written summary for your insurer or property manager.
Leak Detection & Repair Cost in Toronto
Every home is different, so we confirm the price before any work begins. Typical ranges:
| Service | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Leak detection visit (one area) | from $250 |
| Accessible pipe leak repair | from $250 |
| Leak inside a wall or ceiling | from $450 |
| Slab leak repair or reroute | quoted after detection |
Slab Leak Repair
When a supply line leaks under a basement slab, we locate it to within a few centimetres and either repair it through a small opening in the concrete or reroute the line through walls or ceilings, whichever causes less disruption and lasts longer.

Leak Detection FAQ
-
How do you find a water leak without opening walls?
We use non-invasive water leak detection tools: acoustic sensors, thermal imaging cameras, moisture meters and pressure testing. Together they narrow the leak down to a small area, so only a small access hole is needed for the repair.
-
How much does leak detection cost in Toronto?
A leak detection visit for one area typically starts from $250. The repair cost depends on where the pipe is and how much needs to be opened. We confirm the price before any work starts.
-
How can I tell if I have a hidden leak?
Turn off every tap and water-using appliance, then watch your water meter for 15 minutes. If the dial moves, water is escaping somewhere. Higher water bills, stains, musty smells and the sound of running water are other common signs.
-
Do you repair the leak on the same visit?
In most cases, yes. Once the leak is located, our plumbers repair the damaged pipe or fitting right away and pressure-test the line before leaving.
-
What is a slab leak and how is it repaired?
A slab leak is a leak in a water line running under a concrete floor. We locate it precisely, then either repair it through a small opening in the slab or reroute the line above the floor.
-
Will my insurance cover leak detection?
Many home insurance policies cover the cost of finding a sudden leak and the resulting water damage. We provide photos, readings and a written report you can submit with your claim.
-
Do you offer emergency leak repair at night?
Yes. Our emergency plumbers are available 24/7 across Toronto and the GTA. Shut off the main water valve and call (905) 625-8777.
