Leak Detection in Myrtle Beach, SC

Leak Detection Services We Provide

Finding a leak quickly and accurately can make a major difference in preventing damage and keeping crazy repair costs under control. Our leak detection services are designed to pinpoint the source of the problem with precision, so the right solution can be applied without unnecessary disruption. Here are the residential and commercial services we offer:

Water Leak Detection

Hidden water leaks can cause damage long before they’re even visible. Our water leak detection services help locate leaks behind walls, under floors, and beneath hard-to-reach slabs using non-invasive methods. Identifying water leaks early can help prevent structural damage and reduce the need for extensive water damage restoration. This service is often the first step before plumbing repairs or restoration work begins.

Gas Leak Detection

Gas leaks require immediate attention for safety reasons. Our gas leak detection services in Myrtle Beach focus on quickly and accurately identifying leaks in gas lines and connected systems. Once a gas leak is located, we explain the findings clearly and discuss next steps to restore safety. Prompt detection helps protect occupants and property.

Plumbing Leak Detection

Plumbing leaks don’t always involve visible water. Our plumbing leak detection services are used to locate leaks in supply and drain lines, as well as in connected plumbing systems. This service often supports follow-up plumbing repairs, slab leak repairs, and pipe replacements as needed. Accurate detection helps avoid unnecessary removal of walls or floors.

Slab and Underground Leak Detection

Leaks beneath concrete slabs or underground piping can be difficult to diagnose without the right tools. Slab and underground leak detection helps pinpoint these hidden issues while limiting disruption to the property. This service is commonly used before slab leak repair or foundation-related plumbing work. Early detection can help prevent more serious structural concerns.

Leak Detection to Support Restoration Services

In some cases, leaks can cause secondary damage, such as moisture buildup or material deterioration. Leak detection plays a key role in supporting water damage restoration, mold elimination, and natural disaster recovery services. Locating and stopping the source of the leak is essential before restoration work can begin.

Here’s What to Expect During a Leak Detection Appointment

Scheduling leak detection is the first step toward getting peace of mind for your plumbing. The goal of the appointment is to find clear answers without unnecessary disruption, so we can make the service as painless as possible for you. Here is a step-by-step guide for what to expect during a service:

1. Review of concerns

We start by discussing what you’ve noticed, such as higher water bills, unusual odors, damp areas, or pressure changes. This helps narrow down the issue and determine the type of leak detection needed.

2. Targeted leak detection testing

Using specialized leak-detection equipment, we inspect plumbing and gas lines, as well as surrounding areas, to locate the leak source. This process focuses on accuracy and avoids unnecessary damage to walls or floors.

3. Explanation of findings

Once the leak is located, we explain our findings in clear, easy-to-understand terms. You’ll know where the leak is, what caused it, and how urgent the issue may be.

4. Recommended next steps

After detection, we outline the recommended repair or follow-up services. This may include plumbing repairs, slab leak repair, gas line service, or restoration work if damage is present.

2/6/26 Jody Vines determined where pipes had burst & made required repairs and insulated new pipes. He determined there was a small hole in the skirting that allowed the wind to blow into the crawl space. He made a temporary patch to cover the hole. He recommended the water to be cut off at the meter when house is not occupied. Great customer service! 2/2/26 my neighbor heard water running at my house when she took her dog out around midnight. Snow on the ground and extreme cold. I called Vines for emergency service. Jody Vines was dispatched and turned off the water at the meter around 2am. He advised that most likely a pipe had burst under the house in the crawl space. I don’t live there. I live in Atlanta area. A friend will go there to check the interior. I will call Vines to schedule repair & insulate all plumbing in crawl space. Thankfully, I have a plumbing & HVAC service contract with Vnes. They always provide prompt and expert service. Hunter Vines came out to assess problem right away when I called for emergency after hours service 8/19/23 (1am). The water authority had turned off the water at the meter. Hunter turned the water on & found the leaking hose was the problem. The appliance is 17 years old so I decided to have it replaced even though only the hose was defective. Hunter & Andrew picked up new appliance & all components, removed the old appliance, installed new appliance with catch pan, plumbed & wired & turned water back on 8/19 by 5:30 pm. New appliance was installed in a temporary location until water damage restoration is complete but will place in designed area after restoration. They also hauled off the old appliance and components. Superb service! I was referred by my insurance agent, Greg Drennan, SC Farm Bureau, who is friends & networks with Rick Vines.
