Leak Detection
& Repair
Hidden leaks don't announce themselves until the bill spikes or the ceiling stains. S.W.A.T. Plumbing pinpoints the source with electronic and acoustic equipment — then repairs it cleanly, without tearing the house apart.

When You Need This
The longer you wait,
the worse it gets.
A leak the size of a pinhole can waste 5,500 gallons a year. A drip behind a wall can rot framing for months before a stain appears. S.W.A.T. Plumbing uses electronic amplification, thermal imaging, and tracer gas to find the exact failure point — no guessing, no exploratory drywall removal, no chasing the symptom instead of the source.
Warning Signs
- Water bill jumped without a change in usage
- Sound of running water with all fixtures off
- Warm or damp spot on the floor, wall, or ceiling
- Visible water staining, peeling paint, or bubbling drywall
- Mildew smell that won't go away in a bathroom, laundry, or kitchen
- Low water pressure on one fixture or branch
- Hot water heater cycling more often than usual
- Foundation cracking, settling, or yard staying wet in dry weather
Mission Operations
How we execute
from call to close.
- 01.
Diagnose
Pinpoint the Source.
We start with a pressure test on the supply system and a meter check to confirm the leak. Electronic listening, thermal imaging, and tracer-gas equipment locate the exact failure point — under slab, behind drywall, or inside the wall cavity.
- 02.
Quote
Written Estimate. No Surprises.
You see exactly where the leak is, what failed, and what the repair requires — slab tunnel, reroute, drywall cut, or fitting swap. The estimate is flat-rate and presented before any repair work begins.
- 03.
Repair
Fix It Once. Fix It Right.
We open the smallest possible access path, replace the failed section with code-grade material (copper, PEX, or CPVC), and isolate the repair to one defined area instead of chasing the line through the house.
- 04.
Verify
Pressure-Tested. Documented.
Every repair is pressure-tested to spec before we close the access. You receive a written summary of the location, the material used, and the test result — useful for insurance claims and resale records.

S.W.A.T. Plumbing has dispatched to thousands of leak detection & repaircalls across North Texas. Here's what it actually sounds like.
“My A/C was leaking because of a backup in the main drain pipe. The tech Tyler was beyond communicative, patient, and tenacious to fix this. He stayed until almost 6p troubleshooting and sticking with the plan of action that freed the issue. Great guy and great service. As a bonus, I requested the soonest available service and when there was a cancellation that pulled my appointment forward by one day. One earlier day with A/C in Mya in Texas. Win! I was provided them through my home warranty service. I will definitely request them again. Tyler was the man!”
Marcus Combsa month ago“Daniel was great. He was Friendly, helpful, and informative. He took time to explain everything and walk me through my options. The SWAT team was great at keeping me informed on service time and expectations. Will 100% recommend.”
Achelle Evansa month ago“Over the weekend, I needed to call a plumber when the expansion tank on my water heater began leaking. I was unsure what might happen if the situation worsened, so I contacted my home warranty service to request assistance. I had previously informed them that if I ever needed plumbing services again, I preferred to work exclusively with S.W.A.T. Plumbing. On Monday morning, I received a call from Christi at S.W.A.T. Plumbing. She explained that although the plumber was finishing another job, she could have someone out later that afternoon. She told me that Scott H. would be handling the call and would contact me when he was on his way. About five minutes after our call ended, Christi called back to let me know that I would be Scott's next service stop. I really appreciated that level of communication. Less than forty five minutes later, Scott arrived at my home. Scott was professional from the moment he arrived. After a brief greeting, he immediately went to work. He confirmed my suspicion that the expansion tank was the problem, returned to his truck for tools and a replacement tank, and had the new tank installed within about twenty minutes. The repair was completed quickly, smoothly, and—most importantly—professionally. This was not my first experience with S.W.A.T. Plumbing, and it certainly will not be my last should the need arise again. This team truly knows how to take care of their customers. Thank you for inviting me to participate in this survey. I appreciate the opportunity to share my feedback. If you have any follow up questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact me.”
