Hidden leaks inside walls, under slabs, and underground cost thousands in structural damage before they're discovered. We find them fast — without tearing your home apart.
A sudden unexplained increase in your water bill is the first and most reliable sign of a hidden leak. High Point Water Resources bills monthly — a spike of $30–$80 with no change in usage habits means somewhere between 3,000 and 8,000 extra gallons passed through your meter. That water went somewhere, and if it's inside your walls or under your slab, it's been there a while.
High Point has a significant number of slab-on-grade homes, particularly in mid-century neighborhoods like Westchester and along the 1970s–1990s growth corridors. Slab leaks from aging copper supply lines are a specialty — we use electronic acoustic detection and thermal imaging to pinpoint the leak location within 1–2 feet, minimizing the concrete work needed to reach it.
📞 Call Now — 336-422-7560We confirm an active leak exists and its approximate magnitude using a meter test and system pressure test — before committing to detection equipment.
Electronic listening devices amplify the sound of water escaping under pressure through pipe walls. We walk the structure systematically to localize the leak.
Infrared imaging confirms moisture location and spread — critical for slab leaks and wall leaks where the wet area may have migrated from the actual leak point.
We present repair options with costs: spot repair, pipe rerouting above slab, or full repipe — honestly recommending the approach that makes financial and practical sense for your home.

We use both methods together for the most accurate pinpoint — locating leaks within 1–2 feet to minimize concrete and drywall work.
High Point's slab homes require specific expertise. We've worked in Westchester, Oak Hollow, and across the city's slab-heavy neighborhoods.
Spot repair, reroute, or repipe — we explain the trade-offs honestly and let you choose the approach that fits your budget and long-term plans.
Water bill shot up $90 one month for no reason. Triad found a pinhole slab leak under our Westchester home using acoustic detection in about 30 minutes. Minimal concrete work, repaired, and the bill went right back to normal.
Mold smell near the master bath wall for months. Three different companies couldn't find anything. Triad used thermal imaging and found a slow leak inside the wall from a corroded copper elbow. Fixed it cleanly.
They were extremely precise about where the slab leak was — I was expecting them to jackhammer a huge area. They were off by about 6 inches. Two tiles removed, leak fixed, tiles re-set. Impressive work.
The most reliable indicator is a water bill increase without a change in usage. Other signs: sound of running water when all fixtures are off, wet or warm spots on floors (slab leak), damp or soft spots on walls or ceilings, mold or mildew odor adjacent to a plumbing wall, or unexplained foundation cracks. The meter test is the best DIY check: turn everything off and watch the meter's low-flow indicator for 15 minutes.
A slab leak is a supply or drain line leak occurring under your concrete slab foundation. High Point has many slab-on-grade homes from the 1960s–1990s where copper pipes are reaching the end of their expected lifespan. Slab leaks cause foundation erosion, mold growth below the slab, and dramatically elevated water bills. They should be repaired promptly — untreated slab leaks can cause significant structural damage over time.
Not initially. Our acoustic and thermal detection equipment localizes the leak to within 1–2 feet before any opening is required. Once we know exactly where it is, the access needed is minimal — often just one or two tiles or a small drywall cut rather than opening an entire wall.
Yes — in most cases. Spot repair requires opening the slab only at the leak location (typically 1–3 square feet of concrete). For pipes showing widespread corrosion, pipe rerouting through walls and ceilings bypasses the slab entirely. Full repipe above the slab is the most comprehensive option for homes with aged copper below the slab.
It depends on the policy and cause. Sudden and accidental damage from a slab leak may be covered. The water damage to flooring and walls is more commonly covered than the pipe repair itself. Always document everything and call your insurance agent — but get the repair done immediately regardless of insurance status to prevent continued structural damage.
