Find the Leak Before It Finds Your Foundation
Leaks aren’t usually out in the open. Sure, you might get your more obvious under-the-kitchen-sink leak, but oftentimes, leaks work silently in your basement, your slab, behind your walls, under the floors, and many more places out of sight. By the time you’ve caught wind of it (seeing water damage, smelling mold, seeing a huge water bill, etc.), the leak’s gained a huge foothold in your home.
Chesterfield Service has been a fixture of the community since we opened in 1976. We understand the plumbing differences in St. Charles and its older/historic homes and its brand new neighborhoods. We tailor our approach accordingly.
Signs You May Have a Hidden Leak
Not sure if you’ve got a hidden leak on your hands? Here are the common signs that there’s a leak somewhere in your home.
A jump in the water bill even though you haven’t changed your water usage habits; this is usually the first sign of a leak
- You’re hearing the sound of running water (even if everything’s off)
- There are warm/damp spots on the floor
- You see water stains anywhere
- There are musty smells (this is probably mold starting to take hold)
- You’re experiencing low water pressure that wasn’t there before
Noticing any of these? Give us a call ASAP so we can find the source and stop the leak before it becomes something much worse (and much more expensive to fix).
How We Find Hidden Leaks
So, how does the Chesterfield team check for hidden leaks?
- Advanced, non-invasive equipment: We use acoustic leak detection and thermal imaging tools to find leaks by sight and sound inside walls, under floors, or outside.
- Root-cause focus: While you want to fix the leak itself, you also want to know what caused it in the first place. We place a special emphasis on finding the root of the problem.
- Local insight: We’re local, and we’ve been working with St. Charles homeowners for decades, finding and fixing leaks.
- Clear communication: This is a big one. You’ll get a play-by-play of what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and what comes after.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the most common sign of a hidden leak?
It’s actually the increase in your water bill. People might think it’s spots on the walls, ceilings, or floors, but those usually don’t show up until the leak’s already made a huge headway in the house. By the time you’re seeing those signs, it’s evolved into something bigger.
Can a small leak really cause big damage in my house?
Yes, absolutely, and they often do. That's why being vigilant's so important.
Are you available for emergencies?
Yes, we can come out and help you with any plumbing emergencies. We actually have priority scheduling if you’re already in the Easy Maintenance Club, so check that out!
