How We Locate and Repair Leaks
When our technicians first arrive, we will conduct a comprehensive inspection of your home’s plumbing system to locate the leak or leaks. Using advanced tools like moisture meters and infrared cameras, we can pinpoint hidden leaks, even in areas that are difficult to access. Once we have determined the source and nature of the leak, our plumbing technicians can assess the extent of the damage and determine the best course of action based on the type and material of the affected pipe.
Then, we will review our findings and provide an upfront, complimentary estimate. With your permission, we can proceed with the necessary repairs.
Common repair methods include replacing damaged pipe sections, tightening loose joints, or sealing small cracks with specialized epoxy. For severe issues, we may recommend repiping or using trenchless repair methods, which are designed to minimize disruption to your property.
When repairing leaks, our professionals prioritize providing durable solutions and reducing the likelihood of additional issues down the road. We focus on using high-quality materials and precise techniques to effectively address the leak itself and any underlying problems. After completing the repair, we will test the water flow and carefully inspect the area to confirm the problem has been resolved.

Signs of a Hidden Leak
Some plumbing leaks are easy to spot, such as a dripping faucet or water pooling around a visible pipe. However, others can lurk just out of sight, silently causing damage behind walls, beneath flooring, or within ceilings. These hidden leaks can go unnoticed for extended periods and escalate into more significant issues if left unresolved. Promptly recognizing and addressing the warning signs of a concealed leak can help you avoid costly repairs, prevent structural damage, and minimize the risk of mold or mildew growth, which can pose health hazards.
Don’t wait to contact our Plymouth leak detection and repair specialists if you notice any of the problems:
- Unexpected increase in water bills. A sudden spike in your water bill might indicate water escaping from a hidden source. If your water usage habits have not changed, there is a strong chance you are dealing with a hidden leak. Monitor your bill regularly, and if you notice consistent, unexplained increases, you may need to contact our professionals to investigate.
- Persistent musty odors. Damp areas caused by hidden leaks create ideal conditions for mold and mildew. This often leads to a musty smell that lingers no matter how much you clean. Follow the source of the odor to locate potential problem areas, such as walls, floors, or crawlspaces.
- Unexplained water stains or discoloration. Yellow or brown stains on walls or ceilings frequently point to an undetected leak. These marks tend to indicate water damage behind the affected surface. Acting immediately when these stains appear can prevent the spread of water damage and mold growth.
- Warped or buckled flooring. Water accumulating beneath hardwood, laminate, or tile flooring can cause warping, buckling, or even bubbling. If you notice changes in your floor's texture or appearance, it may be time to call our team at Horton Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, & Remodeling.
- Low water pressure. Experiencing a noticeable drop in water pressure when using faucets or showerheads might signal a leak that is reducing water flow within your plumbing system.
The sooner you address plumbing leaks, the better, so don’t wait to call (734) 336-1339 or contact us online if you spot signs of trouble. Our leak repair professionals serve residential and commercial properties throughout Southeast Michigan, including in Ann Arbor.
