How Can I Find a Water Leak Inside a Wall or Ceiling?

Start with simple checks. Look for stains, bubbling paint, musty odors, or a dripping sound. Turn off all fixtures and watch your water meter for movement. Try dye testing toilets (few drops in the tank; color in bowl = leak). If signs persist, pros use non-invasive tools like thermal imaging, acoustic sensors, moisture meters, and video pipe inspection to pinpoint hidden leaks. If water is pooling, shut off the main valve and call for 24/7 emergency help in Denver or Aurora.

Quick checks:

• Inspect ceilings, baseboards, and around fixtures.
• Meter test after shutting all water off.
• Dye-test toilets and check under sinks.
