Find the Source Before the Damage Spreads

Hidden water leaks can cause costly damage to homes and businesses throughout Riverside, Moreno Valley, Corona, and the Inland Empire. NIR Plumbing & Air Conditioning provides professional water leak detection services to help identify suspected slab leaks, underground water-line leaks, and concealed plumbing leaks behind walls or beneath floors. Warning signs include unexplained increases in water bills, damp flooring, running-water sounds, and unusual water meter activity. Our technicians investigate the source of suspected leaks and explain available repair options before work begins.

Slab Leak Detection

Slab leaks occur when water supply pipes beneath a home’s concrete foundation develop leaks. Warning signs can include unusually high water bills, warm or damp flooring, running-water sounds, and unexplained moisture. NIR Plumbing & Air Conditioning provides slab leak detection services in Riverside, Moreno Valley, Corona, and surrounding Inland Empire communities. Our technicians investigate suspected leaks beneath concrete foundations and help homeowners understand whether a localized repair, water-line reroute, or more extensive pipe replacement may be appropriate.

Our technicians use these findings alongside other diagnostic methods to help narrow down possible leak locations. Because pressure changes and meter activity can have multiple causes, a professional evaluation is important before determining whether a water-line repair or replacement is necessary.
