Leak Detection Services in Universal City, TX
Find It Fast. Fix It Right.
Not every leak shows up as a puddle on the floor. A lot of them are sneaky—dripping behind a wall, under the slab, or somewhere you never think to look—quietly chewing up drywall, warping floors, and bumping your water bill higher every month.
That’s what we’re here for.
At Emergency Plumber LLC, we help homeowners and businesses across Universal City, TX track down hidden leaks before they turn into a full-on headache. If something feels “off” (your bill jumped, you’re noticing damp spots, or your place has that weird musty smell that won’t go away), it’s worth getting checked sooner rather than later.
How We Find Leaks
(Without Ripping Your House Apart)
We don’t walk in and start opening walls like it’s a guessing game. We start with a real process.
First, we run a pressure test to confirm whether your plumbing system is losing water. If pressure drops while everything is off, that’s usually the first big clue that something’s leaking somewhere it shouldn’t.
From there, we narrow it down using tools that help us pinpoint the leak instead of “searching” for it:
We use line-tracing equipment to map where your water lines run. We use acoustic listening tools to pick up the faint sound of water escaping inside walls, floors, or underground. And when it helps, we’ll introduce safe air pressure into the line to make the leak easier to locate.
The goal is simple: find it accurately, keep the mess minimal, and fix it right the first time.

Why Modern Leak Detection Beats Old-School Guessing

Modern leak detection means:
You get accurate answers, not guesses. You avoid unnecessary damage to drywall, tile, flooring, or landscaping. You can catch problems before they turn expensive. And you get real peace of mind, because you’ll know what’s happening and what it’ll take to solve it.
5 Signs You Might Have a Hidden Leak in Universal City
If any of these sound familiar, your plumbing may be trying to wave a red flag:
-
Water Stains on Ceilings or Walls - brown spots, bubbling paint, or sagging drywall usually means water is collecting where it shouldn’t.
-
Musty or Moldy Odors - if parts of the house smell damp even when everything looks dry, moisture might be hiding behind walls or under flooring.
-
Cracks in the Drywall - slow leaks can cause materials to swell, shift, and crack over time.
-
The Water Meter Test - turn off everything. If your meter still moves, there’s a strong chance you’ve got a leak somewhere in the system.
-
A Sudden Spike in Your Water Bill - if your routine hasn’t changed but your bill has, water may be escaping quietly.
