Water Leaks Can Cost You More Than You Think
Why Fast Leak Detection Actually Saves You Big in the Long Run
Let’s be honest—nobody wants to spend money on leak detection. It’s not flashy, and it ain’t somethin’ you can show off like a kitchen remodel. But if your water bill's suddenly jumpin' and you’re scratchin’ your head wonderin’ why, you might have a hidden leak that’s quietly drainin’ your bank account.
And that’s where fast leak detection pays for itself.

“My Bill’s Only Up $300… Why Pay for Leak Detection?”
Yeah, we hear that one a lot. Maybe your bill’s crept up by a few hundred bucks—or maybe a lot more. We’ve seen bills spike $2,000–$3,000 easy when a leak’s goin’ unchecked. And the worst part? That extra bill is just the beginning.
If the leak ain’t caught and fixed fast, your bill keeps climbin’ every single month. And then comes the water damage—walls, floors, slab, maybe even mold. Before you know it, you’re lookin’ at repairs in the thousands.
Why You Gotta Find the Leak First
Let’s say you think you know where it’s comin’ from. So you tear into a wall or rip up some tile—only to realize the leak’s not even close. Now you’ve got a leak and a hole in the wall. Not ideal.
That’s why pros use specialized tools to pinpoint the leak without tearin’ up your home.
At Jensen Plumbing, we use the Gen-Ear LE Leak Location System—a high-end piece of gear that costs thousands. Most handymen (and definitely homeowners) don’t have access to this kind of tech.
Here’s How It Works:
Step 1: We use acoustic listening equipment to zero in on the leak—whether it’s under a slab, behind a wall, or in a pool line.
Step 2: Once we’ve got it, we figure out exactly what’s goin’ on and give you the real story—none of that guesswork.
Step 3: We make the repair—clean, quick, and done right the first time.
"But Isn’t Leak Detection Expensive?"
Sure, you might pay a few hundred bucks up front. But think about this:
That money gets you answers.
It helps prevent massive repairs.
And it stops that water bill from goin’ crazy month after month.
Truth is, most people wait too long. They see the higher bill, assume it’ll fix itself (spoiler: it won’t), and end up spendin’ way more down the line.

Turn the Cost Into a Savings
Let’s do the math:Your bill’s up $300 this month.You wait 3 months to call us = $900 gone.Add drywall damage, mold, maybe new flooring… you’re easily lookin’ at $3,000–$5,000.
Or...Call us now.We detect the leak fast, fix it right, and stop the damage early.Way cheaper. Way smarter.

Why We Take This Seriously
Leaks can happen anywhere—under the slab, inside the walls, even in the pool. You might not hear it, see it, or even think about it... until the damage is done.
We’ve seen ceilings cave in, cabinets rot out, whole floors get ruined. A quick detection job could’ve saved ‘em all that.
Don’t Wait. Handle It Now.
If somethin’s off—your water bill’s high, the meter’s spinnin’ even when nothin’s on, or you just got that gut feeling—give us a ring.
