The cost of having a leak detected can vary depending on
factors such as the location of the leak, the complexity of
the plumbing system, and the methods used for detection. On
average, professional leak detection services can range from
$100 to $500 or more.
Simple leaks that are easily accessible and visible might
cost less to detect. However, hidden leaks within walls,
ceilings, or underground can be more complex to locate,
potentially increasing the cost. Advanced detection
techniques like thermal imaging, acoustic sensors, or tracer
gases might also influence the price.
While there are DIY leak detection kits available, hiring a
professional plumber with specialized equipment and
expertise is recommended for accurate and efficient
detection, which can ultimately save you money by preventing
further water damage and addressing the issue promptly.
