Plumbers find hidden leaks by isolating sections of plumbing and testing them, then pinpointing the spot with acoustic listening, thermal imaging and moisture meters — so only a small, targeted opening is needed for the repair.

How do I test for a hidden leak?
Turn off every fixture and appliance, note the meter, and check again after 30 minutes without using water. If it moved, there's a leak. Close the house shutoff and check again; if it still moves, the leak is on the service line.
