Leak Detection in Delaware

A water bill that doubled, a warm spot on the floor, or a stain spreading across the ceiling all mean the same thing: water is going where it should not. Straightline Plumbing and Guttering uses acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and pressure testing to find hidden leaks in Delaware homes without tearing open walls, then repairs the pipe the same visit.

Frequently asked questions

How do you find a leak without cutting into walls?

Acoustic microphones pick up the hiss of pressurized water, thermal cameras show wet or hot spots, and pressure testing isolates which line is losing water. We open one small spot, not a wall.

Is a slab leak covered by insurance in Delaware?

Many policies cover the damage but not the pipe repair. We document everything with photos and a written report you can send to your insurer.

How quickly can you come out for a leak in Delaware?

Active leaks are treated as emergencies. Same-day in Delaware, Wilmington and Dover.
