How We Find and Fix Leaks

Every home is different, and so is every leak. Whether it’s a cracked pipe in the wall or a buried line under your foundation, Indianola Mechanical has the tools and skill to handle it without causing extra damage. Our process focuses on accuracy, speed, and lasting results.

We use tools like:

• Acoustic listening devices – Detects water leaks through sound, allowing precise identification of hidden issues in pipes or walls.
• Thermal imaging cameras – Identifies temperature variations to locate leaks, blockages, or insulation problems efficiently.
• Video camera pipe inspection – Provides a clear view inside pipes to pinpoint blockages, cracks, or damage without invasive methods.
• Moisture meters – Measures moisture levels in materials to identify potential water damage or leaks before they escalate.
• Pressure testing – Gauges the integrity of pipes by identifying drops in pressure that indicate potential leaks or weaknesses.

Once we locate the leak, we’ll repair the affected plumbing line using durable materials that meet code. From minor pipe patches to full line replacements, we’ll walk you through exactly what’s needed and why. Most jobs are completed in a single visit. No fluff, no pressure—just honest work backed by decades of experience.
