Sewer Line Leak Detection in Manchester, NH
Sewer line leaks can cause foul odors, slow drains and potential health hazards. Our team uses camera inspections to visually identify breaks, cracks or blockages within your sewer lines.

Irrigation and Yard Leak Detection in Manchester, NH
Drip and sprinkler systems are a common source of hidden water loss in most yards. A cracked lateral or a stuck valve can waste thousands of gallons before anyone notices. We test the irrigation system separately from the house and trace leaks along buried lines. Many water providers recommend checking irrigation first when bills spike in summer.
Main Water Line Leak Detection in Manchester
The service line between your meter and house can leak underground for months, especially in older galvanized or copper lines. Wet spots in the yard, unusually green grass or a sinking area near the front of the house are clues. We use line tracers to map the pipe and ground microphones to hear the leak. That keeps excavation to a small, focused hole.
