Why Commercial Leaks Go Undetected Longer in Older Greater New Orleans Buildings
Commercial buildings often have piping runs that aren’t part of anyone’s daily routine, like risers in mechanical shafts, roof drain lines, or under-slab piping in back-of-house areas, which means a leak in those locations can go unnoticed far longer than it would in a home. Multi-tenant properties compound this problem, since a leak affecting one unit’s plumbing may not be obvious to the property manager or other tenants until it has already caused significant damage. Older commercial buildings across Greater New Orleans, many built with cast-iron or galvanized piping now decades past its expected lifespan, are especially prone to slow leaks developing at joints and weak points throughout the system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Don't see your question here? Call us, we're happy to walk through it.
Call 504-500-4709Acoustic and pressure-based detection methods are highly effective at narrowing down a leak’s location, often within a few feet, which significantly reduces the amount of exploratory demolition needed to reach the actual leak.
Yes. We typically only need to isolate the section of plumbing serving the affected area, so tenants in unrelated parts of the building usually experience no disruption during the detection process.
Yes. We provide a written summary of our findings, including the likely leak location and cause, which property managers and insurers commonly require for claims or maintenance records.
No. Thermal imaging is a useful add-on for confirming moisture patterns behind finished surfaces, but many leaks can be located accurately with acoustic and pressure testing alone, which keeps costs down.
