We use dye testing, pressure testing and listening devices to find the exact source of the leak, whether it's in the skimmer, main drain or return lines.

Slab Leak Detection in Rochester
Slab leaks are a common concern for homes with concrete foundations, especially where soils shift. Our technicians use dedicated acoustic equipment and thermal cameras to pinpoint leaks under your home's foundation without destructive digging. Early detection of a slab leak prevents serious structural damage and mold issues, saving you real repair costs down the line. We can locate leaks in both hot and cold water lines under the slab.
Hidden Wall and Ceiling Leak Detection in Rochester
Leaks inside walls and ceilings often show up as stains, bubbling paint, soft drywall or a musty smell. We use thermal cameras to find temperature differences caused by water, then confirm with moisture meters. Acoustic tools help when the leak is on a pressurized line. Pinpointing the source lets us cut a small, clean access opening.
Pool and Spa Leak Detection in Rochester
Summer heat and wind can evaporate a lot of pool water, so it can be hard to tell normal loss from a leak. A bucket test compares evaporation to actual water loss. We then pressure test plumbing lines and use dye testing around lights, skimmers and fittings. Finding the leak protects the pool shell and the soil around it.
Gas Leak Detection in Rochester
Gas leaks are very dangerous and require immediate professional attention. FVR Plumbing provides rapid response gas leak detection services using highly sensitive detectors to identify even the smallest gas leaks in your home or business. We prioritize safety and will work quickly to locate the leak, advise on necessary repairs and make sure your gas lines are secure and up to code in Rochester.

Our goal is to minimize disruption to your operations while preserving the integrity of your building's plumbing.
Main Water Line Leak Detection in Rochester
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, targeted hole.
