About This Service

Hidden Leaks Cost You Every
Day They Go Undetected

A slow drip inside a wall or under a slab can waste thousands of gallons and rot structural wood before you see a single water stain. By the time most homeowners in Elizabeth City notice a hidden leak, the damage is already done. That is why calling a licensed leak detection plumber near you at the first sign of trouble saves you money — and avoids bigger repairs later.

At River City Drain Cleaning and Plumbing, we use professional acoustic leak detection equipment to pinpoint the exact location of leaks behind walls, under concrete slabs, and underground — without tearing everything apart first. Once we find it, we give you an upfront price to repair the pipe or water line before any work begins. Fast, honest, and thorough — that is how we work across Elizabeth City, Camden, Currituck, and all of northeastern NC.

Warning Signs

Signs of a Hidden Leak
You Should Never Ignore

Most hidden leaks in Elizabeth City homes go unnoticed for weeks. These are the signs that tell us water is going somewhere it should not.

Water Bill Spike With No Explanation

If your bill jumped without a change in usage, water is likely escaping through a hidden leak in a supply line, wall pipe, or underground line.

Damp Walls or Ceiling Stains

Discolored or bubbling paint, soft drywall, or ceiling stains are classic signs of a pipe leaking behind a wall or overhead — often from a supply line or drain connection above.

Sound of Running Water When Nothing Is On

If you can hear water moving inside walls or under floors when all fixtures are off, a pressurized supply line has a break somewhere in the system.

Warm Spots on the Floor

A warm patch on your floor — especially on concrete — is a strong sign of a slab leak from a hot water supply line running beneath the foundation. This needs immediate attention.
