A high water bill, a warm spot on the floor, a mystery wet patch — Bruce Bunch locates the hidden leak and maps the line before a single hole is dug.
A leak you can't see is the worst kind — it runs up your bill, undermines your slab, and rots what it touches, all while you hunt for it. Bruce Bunch uses line and leak locating to pin down where a hidden leak or buried pipe actually is, so nobody's tearing out drywall or concrete on a guess.
Line locating traces the path and depth of a buried line, and leak locating narrows in on where water is escaping. Pair that with a camera where it helps, and Bruce can mark the exact spot to open — whether it's under the yard, the driveway, or the slab.
The payoff is a small, precise repair instead of a demolition project. With 32 years of experience, Bruce knows how to read the signs, confirm the location, and give you a straight answer on the fix — done right the first time.
Guessing where a hidden leak is gets destructive and expensive fast — here's the better way.
Locating marks the exact spot, so Bruce opens one small area instead of chasing water through your slab or yard.
A hidden leak runs day and night. Finding it fast ends the damage and the water you're paying for.
A targeted dig means less demolition, less patching, and a smaller bill than a blind search ever would.
Catching a slab or buried leak early keeps foundations, floors, and framing from serious water damage.
A water bill that jumps for no reason, or a meter that keeps ticking with everything shut off, is a classic sign water is escaping somewhere you can't see. Locating turns that hunch into a marked spot.
Warm areas on the floor, the sound of running water in the walls, unexplained damp patches, mildew smells, or a section of yard that stays green and soggy all point to a leak in a pressurized or buried line.
Before any repair or new line goes in, knowing exactly where existing pipe runs and how deep it sits prevents accidental strikes and wasted digging. Bruce locates the line first so the work is clean and precise.
Leak and line locating with Bruce covers:
Bruce combines line locating, which traces where a buried pipe runs and how deep, with leak locating that narrows in on where water is escaping. Where it helps, he adds a camera view. Together these mark the spot precisely instead of opening walls or slab on a guess.
Common signs include a warm spot on the floor, an unexplained jump in your water bill, the sound of running water with everything off, cracks, or damp and buckling flooring. If you notice these, locating the leak early keeps the damage down.
Yes, and it's smart to. Before digging for a repair, addition, or new line, Bruce can trace and mark existing buried pipe so you don't strike it by accident. Knowing the path and depth up front saves time, money, and a mess.
That's exactly what locating is meant to avoid. By pinpointing the leak or line first, Bruce can open one small, precise area instead of digging blindly. Less demolition means a smaller repair and less to put back together.
