Professional Sewer Leak Detection in Washington
A leaking sewer pipe does not just create inconvenience. It can erode soil, weaken a slab foundation, or allow waste to seep into the ground. Hidden leaks may also impact indoor air quality and increase the risk of costly slab sewer repairs. Based in Federal Way, our team provides reliable sewer leak detection services for homes and businesses throughout Seattle, Tacoma, Puyallup, Bonney Lake, Kent, and University Place.
Our technicians combine video inspection with years of hands-on experience to provide precise results. Using sewer cameras, dye test methods, and other proven locating techniques, we perform sewer leak detection without unnecessary excavation. By identifying the source quickly, we recommend targeted repairs or pipe replacement only when it is truly required.
How Our Leak Detection Process Works
Every sewer system is unique, but our step-by-step process ensures accurate detection reports and the right solution:
-
Initial preparation – Before the inspection, we clear the line of heavy buildup. Hydro jetting is often used so the sewer camera can capture a clear view of the pipe interior.
-
CCTV and video inspection – A high-resolution sewer camera is inserted into the line, giving us a real-time look at joints, bends, and every part of the pipe. This allows us to detect even small cracks, leaks, or root intrusion.
-
Precise diagnosis – As we move the camera through the line, we locate the exact point of failure. Whether it is a cracked slab sewer section, deteriorating pipe, or displaced joint, our sewer leak detection process ensures nothing is overlooked.
-
Additional testing – If needed, we perform a sewer dye test or leak test to confirm the exact location of the problem and verify whether wastewater is seeping into surrounding ground.
-
Clear explanation – We prepare easy-to-understand detection reports with video evidence so property owners know exactly what is happening underground.
-
Tailored solution – From leak repair with trenchless methods to full pipe replacement, we recommend the most effective approach for your system.
-
Final verification – A follow-up sewer inspection with our camera confirms the line is sealed and flowing properly.
This thorough method reduces disruption, avoids guesswork, and saves property owners time and money.
Why Sewer Leak Detection Matters in Washington
Even a small sewer leak can cause major long-term damage. Wastewater escaping from a broken line can soften soil, undermine foundations, or create voids beneath a slab. Moisture pooling in the ground can also damage landscaping and attract pests. Sewer leak detection performed early helps confirm problems before they spread, ensuring a safe, sanitary environment and protecting the structural integrity of your property.

Signs You May Have a Sewer Leak
Because leaks often develop underground, they can go unnoticed until major issues appear. Warning signs include:
-
Foul odors inside or outside the property
-
Wet patches or bright green spots in the yard above a sewer line
-
Repeated drain backups despite cleaning
-
Cracks forming in a slab foundation or driveway caused by soil shifting
-
Rising water bills without explanation
If you notice these symptoms, it is time for a professional sewer leak detection service to confirm whether a leak is present.
