Leaks inside wall cavities are invisible until drywall staining, mold growth, or a high water bill reveals them — electronic detection locates these without destructive wall access.
These state-specific factors — soil type, building stock age, and water pressure — are the primary drivers of leak detection calls across Connecticut.
