Here is how we handle every leak detection project in Salem.
Our Salem technician evaluates the evidence — water bill spikes, damp spots, meter behavior, and visible damage — to form an initial hypothesis about the leak type and location.
Pipe Masters uses advanced leak detection technology at your Salem property. We listen for leak sounds through acoustic sensors, detect temperature anomalies with thermal cameras, and verify locations with electronic equipment.
Once the leak is located, we confirm the finding and present repair options. Depending on the location and severity, options may include spot repair, section replacement, pipe rerouting, or epoxy lining.
Our Salem plumber executes the repair and confirms success with a pressure test of the repaired section. We verify no additional leaks exist in connected lines before restoring full water pressure.

"Pipe Masters came out the same day I called about a burst pipe under my kitchen sink. They had it fixed in under an hour and even checked the rest of the line for weak spots. Genuinely impressed."
"Floor drain in the laundry room was backing up with sewage smell. They cleaned the line and found it was basically clogged with lint and soap residue from years of use. Smells normal again finally."
"Replaced an old water heater that was rusting out from the bottom. The new one is more efficient and they even upgraded the expansion tank and earthquake straps. Everything up to current code now."
