Detection Methods

Non-Invasive Leak Detection: Acoustic, Thermal Imaging & Pressure Testing

We pinpoint leaks with acoustic listening, thermal imaging, moisture detection, pressure testing, and underground pipe location, plus a sewer camera inspection when needed. We open a wall, floor, or slab only where the leak is confirmed.

Slab Leaks

Slab Leak Detection & Repair for Columbus Homes

A slab leak is a break in the water lines under a home's concrete foundation. It can damage the foundation, cause mold, and raise water bills. Older Columbus homes with copper water lines are most at risk, so early detection protects both your plumbing and your foundation.

Leak Detection & Repair FAQs: Columbus, OH

How much does leak detection cost in Columbus?

Visible leak repair starts at $149. Hidden leak detection costs $299 to $699, and slab leaks that need excavation cost $699 to $2,500 or more. All pricing is flat-rate.

How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?

Watch for a higher water bill, running water sounds when nothing is on, warm or wet floor spots, mold, or low water pressure.

What is a slab leak and how serious is it?

A slab leak is a break in the water lines under your concrete foundation. It can damage the foundation, cause mold, and raise water bills, so early detection matters.

How do plumbers find a leak without tearing out walls?

Acoustic listening, thermal imaging, moisture detection, and pressure testing locate the leak first, so only that spot is opened.

Do you offer same-day leak repair?

Yes. We offer same-day leak repair across Columbus and nearby communities. ProCare members receive priority dispatch.

Can a small leak wait?

Fix any confirmed leak within 48 hours. Even a slow drip wastes water and causes damage. Burst pipes and active flooding need immediate emergency service.

Why is my water bill suddenly high?

A sudden jump with no change in usage often points to a hidden pipe leak, a running toilet, or a slab leak. A leak test confirms the cause.

Can a plumbing leak cause mold?

Yes. Leaks behind walls and under floors keep materials damp, and mold can follow. Early leak repair limits the damage.

Do you repair leaks in commercial properties?

Yes. We repair leaks in offices and light commercial spaces, plus apartments, rentals, and multi-unit buildings.

What areas do you serve for leak detection?

We serve Columbus, including Short North, German Village, and Clintonville, plus Dublin, Westerville, Hilliard, Grove City, Gahanna, Upper Arlington, New Albany, Powell, Bexley, and Delaware County.

Transit & Flow Group did an excellent job with the flooring and interior painting to get my property rent ready. Their team delivered quality workmanship and clear communication, leaving the property looking fresh and ready for new tenants. I’m very happy with the results and highly recommend them for flooring, painting, and rental property improvements!

Excellent service. I put out a request on Thumbtack for a hot water heater service. Michael from Transit and Flow called in 5 minutes. A tech arrived a few hours later. The 20 year old tank was bad. That was yesterday. He had a new one installed today. Very impressed having a new water heater installed in under 24 hours. Highly recommended Transit and Flow .

Our basement got flooded overnight with water coming from the concrete floor. We suspected it came from the clogged down spouts and drains outside. It was Saturday morning with more heavy rain coming same day. In total panic, I went on thumbtack feeling pretty hopeless to find someone fast given it was the weekend. Michael responded within minutes, talked me through the issue and coordinated a technician to come out the same afternoon. Ryan showed up shortly after and diagnosed the issue with a price estimate that seemed reasonable. He said he had all the tools to get it fixed right away and by the same evening everything was fixed. Ryan was super curtious, polite and hard working. We were beyond pleased with the outcome. Huge thank you to Michael for his responsiveness, friendliness, willingness to help in an urgent manner and Ryan for doing a fantastic job! I highly recommend this company, you won't be disappointed. All the best with a huge thank you!
