Fast Leak Detection You Can Trust

Professional Leak Detection in Fallbrook, Bonsall, and Oceanside

At Sheldon Plumbing, we know how stressful a hidden water leak can be. A leak behind a wall, under a slab, or under your yard can waste water, raise your bill, and cause serious damage before you even know it is there. That is why we offer fast, accurate leak detection services for homes and businesses in Fallbrook and the surrounding areas. As a family-owned and operated plumbing company with over a decade of hands-on experience, we take pride in finding the source of the problem and helping you stop the damage as soon as possible.

Our goal is simple: locate the leak with as little disruption as possible and give you honest guidance on the best next step. Whether you have a small plumbing leak, a slab leak, a pipe leak under concrete, or an unexplained water issue, we are ready to help 24/7.

Why Leak Detection Matters

Many leaks are not obvious at first. A small drip inside a wall or under a foundation can go unnoticed for weeks or months. During that time, it can lead to water damage, mold growth, wood rot, higher utility costs, and even structural problems. Early leak detection helps protect your property and can save you money on larger repairs down the road.

If you have noticed signs like damp drywall, musty odors, low water pressure, warm spots on the floor, water stains on ceilings, cracked flooring, or a sudden spike in your water bill, it may be time to schedule a professional plumbing leak inspection.

Common Signs You May Have a Hidden Leak

• Unexpected increase in your water bill
• Sound of running water when fixtures are off
• Wet spots on walls, ceilings, or floors
• Musty smells or signs of mold and mildew
• Low water pressure in sinks, showers, or other fixtures
• Cracks in flooring or foundation areas
• Hot spots on the floor that may point to a hot water line leak
• Pooled water in the yard or unusually green patches of grass
• Water meter movement when no water is being used

If you notice one or more of these signs, it is best to act quickly. Hidden leaks rarely get better on their own.

What Our Leak Detection Service Includes

Our leak detection service is designed to identify the source of the issue as accurately as possible. We start with a full evaluation of the symptoms you are seeing and the plumbing system involved. From there, we use proven methods and modern equipment to narrow down and locate the leak.

Depending on the situation, our service may include:

• Visual plumbing system inspection
• Water pressure testing
• Water line and drain line leak investigation
• Slab leak detection
• Fixture and exposed pipe leak checks
• Inspection of walls, ceilings, crawl spaces, and accessible plumbing areas
• Identification of possible pipe corrosion, loose fittings, broken seals, or damaged lines
• Clear explanation of findings and recommended repair options

We focus on accurate diagnosis because the right repair starts with finding the exact cause of the problem.

Leaks We Commonly Find

At Sheldon Plumbing, we handle many types of residential and commercial leak issues. Some of the most common include hidden pipe leaks, slab leaks, leaking water supply lines, drain pipe leaks, toilet leaks, faucet leaks, shower valve leaks, irrigation line leaks, and water heater leaks. We also help with emergency leak situations involving burst pipes and sudden water intrusion.

Each leak is different. Some are caused by aging pipes, corrosion, shifting soil, high water pressure, poor connections, worn seals, or damage from daily use. Our experience helps us spot the likely cause and recommend a reliable fix.

Slab Leak Detection

One of the most serious hidden plumbing problems is a slab leak. This happens when a water line running beneath the concrete foundation develops a leak. Because the pipe is under the slab, the warning signs are often subtle at first. You may notice warm areas on the floor, the sound of water running, cracks in flooring, moisture along the base of walls, or a sudden rise in your water bill.

Slab leaks should be handled quickly. If left alone, they can damage flooring, weaken the foundation area, and create long-term moisture problems. We provide careful slab leak detection to confirm whether the problem is under the foundation and help you understand your repair options.

Residential and Commercial Leak Detection

We provide leak detection for both homeowners and business owners. In homes, we often help locate hidden leaks in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, garages, walls, attics, crawl spaces, and under slabs. For commercial properties, we help identify plumbing leaks that may affect restrooms, break rooms, utility areas, tenant spaces, and underground lines.

We understand that every property has different plumbing demands, so we tailor our approach to your system and the symptoms you are experiencing.
