Plumbing Leak Detection in Katy — Find the Source Before It Becomes a Bigger Problem
A hidden water leak can quietly damage your floors, walls, and foundation for months before you ever notice it.

We serve Katy, Cinco Ranch, Cross Creek Ranch, Cane Island, Kelliwood, Fulshear, and surrounding West Houston communities.
📞 (281) 829-9828Why Katy Homes Are Prone to Hidden Leaks
Houston’s clay soil expands and contracts dramatically with moisture changes — creating shifting pressure on pipes beneath slab foundations. Combined with aging infrastructure in many older Katy neighborhoods and hard water that corrodes pipe joints over time, hidden leaks are more common here than in most Texas cities.
Acoustic & Thermal Leak Detection
We use professional acoustic listening equipment and thermal imaging to locate leaks behind walls and under slabs — without opening up your home unnecessarily. These tools help us pinpoint the exact location of a leak so repairs are targeted and limited in scope.
Water Meter & Pressure Testing
If you suspect a leak but can’t find it, we perform water meter checks and pressure testing to confirm whether water is escaping the system. This is a key first step before any invasive detection method and helps us determine the urgency and likely location.
Slab Leak Detection
Leaks beneath concrete slab foundations are among the most damaging — and the hardest to find without the right equipment. We specialize in slab leak detection for Katy homes and use non-invasive methods to locate the leak before recommending how to address it.
Signs You May Have a Hidden Leak
Rising water bills with no change in usage, warm spots on your floor, damp drywall or baseboard discoloration, mold or mildew smell, and low water pressure throughout the home are all warning signs. If you’re noticing any of these in your Katy home, call us for an inspection before the damage spreads.
What Happens After We Find the Leak
Once the source is identified, we explain what we found in plain language and provide a clear, written estimate for the repair. You decide how to proceed — no pressure, no guessing, no work started without your approval. If the leak is outside our scope, we’ll tell you that too.

Plumbing Leak Detection FAQs — Katy, TX
How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?
Common signs include a water bill that’s higher than usual with no change in habits, the sound of running water when everything is off, damp spots on floors or walls, warm areas on your slab, or a drop in water pressure throughout the home. If you notice any of these, it’s worth having a professional take a look.
Can you find a leak without tearing up my floors or walls?
In most cases, yes. We use acoustic listening devices and thermal imaging to locate leaks non-invasively before any cutting or demo begins. This keeps repair scope limited and protects your home from unnecessary damage.
How long does a leak detection visit take?
Most inspections take one to two hours depending on the size of the home and the complexity of the suspected leak. We’ll give you a time estimate when we schedule and keep you informed during the visit.
Is a higher water bill always a sign of a leak?
Not always — seasonal changes, guests, or new appliances can increase usage temporarily. But if your bill is consistently higher with no clear explanation, a leak is one of the first things to rule out. We can help you check.
Do you handle both detection and repair?
Yes. We locate the leak and, once you approve the estimate, we can handle the repair as well. You don’t need to call a second company — the same licensed team handles it start to finish.
If you suspect a leak in your Katy home — whether it’s a rising water bill, a damp spot, or just something that doesn’t feel right — Ory’s Plumbing is ready to help. We’ll inspect carefully, explain what we find, and give you a clear estimate before any work begins.
