Leak Detection — Done Right by a Local Master Plumber
A hidden leak inside a wall or under a slab can waste hundreds of gallons a day and cause thousands in secondary damage before you see the first drip. Angermeier Plumbing uses acoustic listening equipment, pressure isolation testing, and thermal imaging to find the leak fast — so the repair is a targeted opening, not exploratory demolition.
We locate leaks in copper, CPVC, PEX, and galvanized water lines, in-slab hot water lines, radiant heating loops, and irrigation supply lines across Bucks and Montgomery County, PA.

Our Process
How We Find the Leak
1. Meter and pressure test
We isolate hot vs cold, indoor vs outdoor, and confirm the leak with a static pressure test — not guessing.
2. Acoustic pinpointing
Ground microphones and pipe-mounted sensors let us hear the leak through concrete, drywall, or tile.
3. Thermal imaging
On hot-water leaks, an IR camera maps the warmest spot on the slab or wall to the inch.
4. Mark and quote
We mark the exact spot on the finish surface and quote you the repair before any demo — no surprise scope creep.
5. Repair or plan next steps
Most leaks can be repaired the same day. Whole-house repipe options given honestly if the pipe is failing system-wide.

Answers
Leak Detection FAQs
How much does leak detection cost?+
A residential leak-location call in Bucks County typically runs a flat diagnostic fee that's credited toward the repair if you have us do it. Call 215-364-0133 for current pricing.
Do you have to tear up the floor to find a slab leak?+
No. Acoustic and thermal equipment let us pinpoint slab leaks within inches, so we can open a small, targeted section of slab rather than trench the whole floor.
How long does leak detection take?+
Most residential leak-detection visits are 1–2 hours on site. Complex cases with hydronic heat or multiple suspect zones can run longer.
Will my insurance pay for leak detection?+
Homeowners insurance often covers the leak-location fee and resulting water damage, though not the pipe repair itself. We provide detailed documentation you can submit to your carrier.
Do you fix the leak once you find it?+
Yes. We locate, repair, and restore water service the same day whenever possible. Complex slab repairs occasionally require a return visit.
What areas do you serve?+
Southampton, Warminster, Warrington, Feasterville, Bensalem, Yardley, Richboro, Huntington Valley, Newtown, Doylestown, Jamison, Hatboro, and surrounding Bucks & Montgomery County, PA communities.
