About This Service

We Find the Leak First —
Then Quote the Fix

Most plumbers ask you where the leak is. We find it ourselves — using acoustic leak detection equipment that picks up the precise sound of water escaping under pressure. No guessing, no unnecessary demo, no opening every wall in the house hoping to get lucky.

Once we pinpoint the exact leak location — whether it is behind drywall, under a concrete slab, or in an underground supply line — we give you a firm price before we touch anything. Then we make the smallest access point needed, repair the pipe, test the pressure, and restore the area. One call, one visit, problem solved — same day in Elizabeth City for most jobs.

Types of Leaks We Find & Fix

Every Type of Hidden Leak
We Detect in Elizabeth City

Each leak type requires a different detection approach. We bring the right equipment for every situation — wall, slab, underground, or supply line.

Very Common

Wall & Ceiling Leaks

Pipes running inside walls or above ceilings can drip for weeks undetected. We use acoustic tools to find the exact point without demolishing entire walls — then make the smallest access needed to repair the pipe.

Serious — Act Fast

Slab Leaks

A water line break under your concrete foundation erodes the slab, causes mold, and wastes thousands of gallons. Warm spots on floors and running water sounds are the top signs. We locate and repair slab leaks with minimal concrete removal.

Often Missed

Underground Supply Line Leaks

Buried supply lines between the meter and your house can crack from ground movement or root pressure. Soggy yard patches and high water bills are the main signs. We locate the break and repair without unnecessary trenching.

Common in Older Homes

Pinhole Pipe Leaks

Copper and older galvanized pipes develop pinhole leaks from corrosion over time. Small but damaging, they often go unnoticed until wall staining or mold appears. We find and patch or replace the affected section.

High Water Bills

Fixture Supply Line Leaks

The flexible supply lines under sinks and behind toilets are a frequent leak source, especially in homes over 10 years old. We inspect, replace, and test every connection to stop the drip completely.

Emergency

Burst Pipe Emergency Leaks

A burst pipe floods fast. Turn off the main shutoff immediately and call us. Our 24 hour emergency leak repair covers Elizabeth City and all nearby NC towns — we dispatch right away, any time of day or night.

Why River City

Why Elizabeth City Chooses
Us to Find Every Leak

Guessing where a leak is wastes time and damages more of your home. We find it precisely before we recommend a single repair.

Acoustic Equipment — Not Guesswork

We use professional acoustic leak detection to hear where pressurized water is escaping — before opening a single wall or pulling up a floor.

Same-Day Detection & Repair

Most leak detection and repair jobs in Elizabeth City are completed the same day. For active leaks causing damage, we dispatch immediately — 24 hours, every day.

Minimum Access, Maximum Results

We make the smallest possible opening to reach and repair the leak. We do not open walls we do not need to — saving you repair costs and disruption.

Upfront Price Before We Start

After detection, you get a clear written price before any repair begins. No hidden costs, no surprises when the bill comes.

Leak Detection Questions
We Hear Every Day

Yes. We offer same-day leak detection and repair in Elizabeth City NC and all nearby areas. For emergency leaks causing active water damage, we dispatch immediately any time — 24 hours a day. Call (252) 666-9003.
A slab leak is a break in a water pipe running beneath your home's concrete foundation. Yes, it is serious — it can erode the slab, cause mold, and waste thousands of gallons. Warm spots on your floor and the sound of running water when nothing is on are the main signs. Call us right away.
Detection takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on the leak type and location. Most wall and pipe repairs are completed the same day. Slab leaks may require an additional step for concrete restoration after the pipe work is complete.
Yes. Even a slow drip inside a wall can saturate insulation, rot wooden framing, and grow mold within days. Because hidden leaks are out of sight, they often go unnoticed for weeks — causing damage that costs far more to fix than the original pipe repair would have.
