Our Differentiator

Hidden leaks are tricky because the visible damage is often far from the actual leak location. A water stain on your ceiling might be coming from a leak ten feet away. A wet spot in your yard might be a service line leak, much further toward the meter. We invest in acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging cameras, and electronic detection equipment so we can pinpoint the exact source, not the place the water happens to show up. That matters even more in older Acadiana homes where decades-old plumbing runs behind plaster, under slab, or through hard-to-reach crawlspaces.
When you call Pipes and Plugs for leak detection, you get a licensed plumber who explains what they find, shows you the source, and handles the repair so you do not have to call a second company. Most leak detection and repair work is backed by our 5-year warranty.

About Leak Detection and Repair in New Iberia and Lafayette

Hidden leaks are one of the most damaging plumbing problems because they often go undetected for months or years. A small slab leak under your foundation can rot subflooring and grow mold before you ever see a puddle. A behind-wall leak can ruin drywall, insulation, and wood framing. An underground water line leak can spike your water bill while creating soggy spots in your yard. Common warning signs include unexplained jumps in your water bill, the sound of running water when no fixtures are on, warm spots on the floor (a sign of a hot water slab leak), musty or mildew smells, and water stains on walls or ceilings. Older homes throughout Acadiana are especially vulnerable because original plumbing has often spent decades behind plaster, under slab, or in damp crawlspaces.
Pipes and Plugs uses advanced leak detection technology to locate hidden leaks without tearing up your home. Acoustic listening devices pick up the sound of water escaping from pressurized lines, even through concrete or behind walls.
