Water Leak Detection Services
At Maffei Services, we utilize cutting-edge leak detection techniques to accurately identify and locate leaks, even in hard-to-reach areas. Our methods include:
- Meter Detection: We can test the water pressure in your pipes and compare it to a healthy pipe. This allows us to determine if there is a leak, and where the leak is located.
- Video Camera Inspection: In cases of suspected sewer or drain leaks, we use sewer cameras to visually inspect the inside of pipes and identify any cracks, breaks, or leaks.
- Thermal Imaging: Infrared cameras are used to detect temperature variations caused by leaks, enabling us to pinpoint the source of hidden water leaks behind walls or under floors.
- Acoustic Leak Detection: We use sensitive acoustic equipment to listen for the sound of water escaping from pipes, helping us locate leaks without the need for invasive methods.
Leak Repair Services
Once we have detected the source and location of the leak, our skilled plumbers will proceed with the repair process, which typically includes the following steps.
1. Assessment and Planning
Our team will carefully assess the extent of the leak and plan the most effective repair method.
2. Isolation and Shut-Off
To prevent further water damage, we will isolate the affected area and shut off the water supply if necessary.
3. Repair or Replacement
The repair method will depend on the type and severity of the leak. We may use various techniques, such as patching, sealing, or replacing damaged pipes.
4. Testing and Verification
After the repair is completed, we will test the repaired section to ensure it is leak-free and functioning properly and conduct a final inspection.
Signs of Hidden Leaks
Detecting hidden leaks early on can save you from extensive damage. Look out for the following common signs that indicate a potential leak in your plumbing system:
If your water bills have spiked unexpectedly, it could be a sign of a hidden leak that is causing water wastage.
Water stains on walls, ceilings, or floors can indicate a leak in the plumbing running behind or above these surfaces.
Persistent musty or moldy smells in your home may be caused by hidden water leaks promoting mold growth.
If you hear the sound of running water even when no faucets are turned on, it may indicate a concealed leak.
A sudden decrease in water pressure could be attributed to a hidden leak in the water supply line.
Puddles of water or consistently damp areas in your yard, especially when it hasn’t rained, may signal an underground leak.
Hot water leaks beneath your floors can create warm spots on the floor surface.
Mold growth on walls, ceilings, or floors, especially in areas near plumbing fixtures, may be a result of hidden leaks.

Did you know that the typical home’s plumbing leaks average around 10,000 gallons of water each year?!
Locating and fixing even the smallest of plumbing leaks at the first sign of a problem is critical, as pipe leaks and fixture drips only get worse with time.

This appointment was for an annual service on my new Furnace. Arrived on time, answered any question i had,and completed the service on the Furnace. Tyler also took the time to look at a problem toilet, gave me his thoughts on problem and then provided me a quot to fix. Maffei has generally always done a good job for me.

Tony, Maffei's Comfort Advisor met us at our cold church. He was so careful in checking things out, photographing our failed heating system. And he has gotten back to us in less than a week! Tony and Maffei concluded that Maffei doesn't do this type of project but Tony had several good referrals for us to services that do! Awesome! Thank you!
