Hidden water leaks waste thousands of gallons and quietly destroy homes. Hawthorne Leak Finders pinpoints them with acoustic listening, thermal imaging, and tracer gas — without tearing your property apart.
Most leaks are found with a combination of methods — each one confirms the others, so you're never paying for guesswork.
Electronic sensors hear the distinct sound of water escaping a pressurized pipe and trace it to its loudest point — through soil, concrete, and flooring.

Learn more →A safe, inert gas is introduced into the water line; it escapes at the defect and rises to the surface, where a sensitive detector pinpoints it — even through plastic pipe.
Learn more →High-resolution cameras travel inside drain and sewer lines, showing exactly what's wrong — roots, cracks, bellies, offsets — on video.

Hawthorne's housing tells the story: the median home here was built around 1970, and 1950s–60s ranch houses on slabs still run on original galvanized and cast-iron lines. Those materials fail in predictable ways — corrosion, joint separation, pinhole leaks — and every one of those failures starts hidden. Hidden is exactly where our instruments look.
Describe what you're seeing — the bill, the sound, the stain — and we'll tell you honestly whether you need a detection visit.
Call +1 424-544-0197Call any time. We listen to what you're experiencing — bill spike, sounds, stains, warm floors — and determine whether a detection visit is warranted.
On site, we start with meter and pressure checks to prove water is actually escaping and isolate which line is involved.
Acoustic listening, thermal imaging, tracer gas, or camera inspection — used alone or combined until the location is certain.
The leak's position is marked on the surface and documented, so any repair opens one precise spot — not a trench.
