Leak Detection in Florence

A hidden water leak can do serious damage long before you notice it. Structural deterioration, mold growth, and wasted water all compound quietly while the source stays out of sight. At Quality Service Company, our licensed plumbers use non-invasive diagnostic technology to locate leaks accurately, without tearing into walls or floors as a first move. We’ve been serving Florence, SC and the surrounding Pee Dee region since 2003, and we’re available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week when a leak can’t wait.

Our technicians are NATE-certified, background-checked, and drug-tested. Every visit comes with upfront, flat-rate pricing so you know exactly what you’re agreeing to before any work begins.

Warning Signs of a Hidden Water Leak

Many leaks go undetected for weeks or months. Knowing what to look for helps you call for service before minor damage becomes a major repair bill.

Signs you may have a hidden leak:

• Unexplained water bill increase without any change in usage habits
• Sound of running water when every fixture and appliance is off
• Mold, mildew, or musty odors appearing in non-bathroom areas of the home
• Damp spots, discoloration, or peeling paint on walls, ceilings, or floors
• Soft or warm spots on the floor, which can signal a hot water supply line leak beneath the slab
• Reduced water pressure throughout the home, pointing to a possible main supply line leak

One quick check: watch your water meter while every fixture is off. If the dial is still moving, there’s a leak somewhere between the meter and your home. That’s the moment to call a professional.

Types of Leaks We Locate & Repair

Florence County homes span several construction eras, and pipe materials and failure patterns vary by neighborhood and building age. We assess what’s actually in your walls or beneath your slab before recommending a repair path. The four leak types we handle most often each require a different approach.

Slab Leaks

A slab leak is a water line failure beneath the concrete foundation. Left unaddressed, it erodes soil, cracks walls, and can shift the structure of the home. Acoustic listening tools let us pinpoint the break without jackhammering blindly.

In-Wall Leaks

Supply lines and drain pipes running inside walls can saturate drywall, compromise wooden studs, and create conditions for mold growth well before any surface staining appears. Thermal imaging cameras detect temperature differences caused by hidden moisture, mapping the leak path without opening up the wall.

Underground & Yard Supply Line Leaks

A break in the main supply line wastes water continuously and can damage landscaping. These leaks are often identified first by a spiking water bill and confirmed with electronic leak detection equipment.

Sewer Line Leaks

Sewer line failures carry health risks and produce persistent odors, and older sewer connections are a common source. We use video sewer inspection technology to send a camera through the line and confirm exactly where and how the pipe has failed before any excavation takes place.

How We Locate Leaks Without Unnecessary Demolition

Our process begins with a visual inspection and a conversation about the symptoms you’ve observed. From there, we work systematically with non-invasive tools to isolate the source.

The diagnostic tools we use:

• Acoustic listening devices that amplify the sound of water escaping pressurized pipes, traceable even beneath concrete slabs
• Thermal imaging cameras that read surface temperature differences to map moisture paths without touching the structure
• Electronic leak detection using low-voltage current to confirm precise locations with monitoring equipment
• Video sewer inspection for drain and sewer line issues, delivering a live view inside the pipe

Once the leak is located, we walk you through our findings and present your repair options before any work begins. No surprises on the invoice, and no pressure to approve work you haven’t had a chance to consider.

Catch Leaks Earlier with the Quality Service Membership

The Quality Service Membership (QSM) is our proactive maintenance plan for homeowners who want to stay ahead of plumbing problems rather than react to them. Routine inspections can catch deteriorating pipes, loose fittings, and early-stage leaks before they cause significant damage, and members also benefit from lower utility bills, extended equipment life, and priority scheduling when an urgent issue does arise.

Proactive maintenance can cost less than emergency leak repair combined with water damage remediation. Ask about the QSM when you call, or bring it up with your technician on-site.
