Leak Detection in Florence, KY
If you suspect a hidden water leak, Richardson Plumbing provides fast, accurate leak detection and diagnosis across Florence, Northern Kentucky, and nearby Cincinnati. We pinpoint the source, explain your options clearly, and help you stop damage before it spreads.
Why Leak Detection Matters
Most plumbing leaks start small and stay hidden. A pinhole leak behind drywall, a slow drip under a slab, or a yard line leak can quietly waste water and cause structural or mold damage over time.
Stop Damage Before It Gets Expensive
Unexplained water bills, damp smells, stains, or low pressure often point to a leak that needs immediate attention. The goal is simple: locate the source quickly and fix the right thing the first time.
- Reduce water waste and surprise utility bills
- Prevent mold growth and material deterioration

Our Approach: Precise, Low-Disruption Leak Detection
We use proven methods and modern equipment to pinpoint leaks in walls, ceilings, slabs, and yards with minimal disruption. We test, confirm, and explain before recommending repairs.
We start with visible signs, fixture checks, and system basics to narrow down the most likely leak source and isolate zones efficiently.
When water is escaping under pressure, the system has a signature. We listen, verify, and confirm the right line before moving forward.
We track where moisture is traveling, not just where it shows. This helps avoid patching the symptom while missing the actual leak.
You get a direct explanation of what we found, what is affected, and the most practical repair options based on your property.

Common Leak Types We Detect
Leaks can occur anywhere water or drainage lines run. These are the most common leak scenarios we handle in Florence, Northern Kentucky, and nearby Cincinnati homes.
Slab leaks
Warm spots on floors, unexplained water bills, or the sound of water when fixtures are off can point to a leak under concrete that needs targeted testing.
Wall and ceiling leaks
Stains, sagging drywall, and musty odors often indicate hidden moisture. We locate the leak source and help prevent further material damage.
Yard and service line leaks
Pooling water, soft spots, and unexplained usage may indicate a buried line issue. We isolate the zone to keep digging to a minimum.
Fixture and appliance leaks
Toilets, faucets, water heaters, and supply lines can leak slowly for weeks. We identify the failing component and recommend the best fix.
Drain and sewer leaks
Odors, soggy areas, and recurring backups can indicate drainage issues. If you have drain symptoms, start with sewer and drain service.
Water heater leaks
Tank leaks and relief valve discharge need fast attention. If the leak is near your heater, see water heater repair.
Signs You May Have a Hidden Leak
If you notice any of the following, schedule leak detection before the problem escalates:
- Unexpected spikes in your water bill
- Sound of running water when everything is off
- Damp, warm, or soft spots on floors, walls, or ceilings
- Low water pressure throughout the home
- Mold, mildew, or persistent musty odors
- Cracks or movement that appear near moisture damage
- Water stains around baseboards, ceilings, or fixtures
Early detection protects your property, prevents mold, and saves money on repairs and wasted water.
