Leak Detection Services in Reno & Sparks, NV
Slab Leak Detection Reno Slab leaks occur when pipes running beneath your home’s concrete foundation crack or corrode. They’re one of the most damaging and expensive leaks a homeowner can face. We use non-invasive detection equipment to pinpoint slab leaks accurately — minimizing the amount of concrete that needs to be opened for repair.
In-Wall Leak Detection Reno Leaking pipes inside walls often go undetected until mold appears or drywall starts bubbling. We locate in-wall leaks precisely so repairs are targeted and minimal — no tearing apart entire walls to find the source.
Underground Leak Detection Reno & Sparks Leaking supply lines and irrigation pipes underground can run for months without any visible surface sign. We locate underground leaks using pressure testing and detection equipment before they erode your foundation or landscape.
Water Main Leak Detection Reno A leaking water main between the street and your home can waste thousands of gallons and drive up your water bill significantly. We identify water main leaks and provide repair options for Reno and Sparks properties.
Pipe Leak Repair Reno, NV Once we locate the leak we fix it. Johnson Plumbing handles all pipe leak repairs — copper, PEX, PVC, and galvanized — with lasting solutions, not temporary patches.
High Water Bill Diagnosis Reno If your Reno water bill has spiked without explanation, a hidden leak is the most likely cause. We perform a full leak diagnosis to identify where water is escaping your system.
Irrigation & Outdoor Leak Detection Reno Leaking irrigation systems and outdoor supply lines waste significant water and can damage foundations and landscaping. We locate and repair outdoor leaks for residential and commercial Reno properties.

Frequently Asked Questions — Leak Detection Reno, NV
What are the signs of a hidden water leak in my Reno home? Unexplained spikes in your water bill, the sound of running water when nothing is on, warm spots on your floor, wet or discolored patches on walls or ceilings, mold or mildew smell, and cracks in your foundation or flooring are all warning signs of a hidden leak.
What is a slab leak? A slab leak is a leak in the pipes running beneath your home’s concrete foundation. They’re common in older Reno homes and can cause serious structural damage if not caught early. Signs include warm floors, the sound of running water, and unexplained water bill increases.
Do you have to tear up my floors or walls to find a leak? Not with modern detection equipment. We use non-invasive technology to pinpoint leaks accurately before any opening is made — minimizing disruption and repair costs.
How much does leak detection cost in Reno? Costs vary based on leak type and location. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work. Call (775) 351-2293 for a straight answer on pricing for your specific situation.
Can a hidden leak cause mold in my Reno home? Yes. Hidden leaks create the exact conditions mold needs — moisture in an enclosed space. Reno’s dry climate doesn’t protect you from mold inside walls or under slabs where moisture accumulates. Early leak detection prevents mold remediation costs that far exceed plumbing repair.
Do you serve Sparks, Spanish Springs, and surrounding areas? Yes — we serve all of Washoe County including Reno, Sparks, Spanish Springs, Sun Valley, Cold Springs, Carson City, and beyond.
