Certified Technicians Evaluate Plumbing & HVAC Moisture at Its Source
Unexplained water stains, rising utility bills, damp areas, unusual sounds, or active water loss can signal a hidden leak. At A/C Contractors, we provide leak detection and repair for Tyler homes and businesses. Our certified, background-checked technicians use cutting-edge tools and clean work practices to identify the source and explain the appropriate next steps.
When you call, we listen to what you’re seeing, hearing, or noticing around your property. We can also walk you through ways to limit active water loss before service, such as shutting off an affected fixture or using the main water shutoff when needed. Because we work on both plumbing and HVAC systems, we can evaluate whether the moisture comes from a plumbing leak, condensation, or a drainage problem.
With Straight Forward Pricing™, you’ll know the cost before approved work begins, with no hourly fees or surprises.
Accurate leak detection doesn’t just fix a problem. It can help limit more extensive damage. Professional assessment offers benefits that DIY tools or guesswork can’t match.
Cost-saving advantages:
Can help limit the need for major structural repairs by identifying leaks early
Can help limit water waste associated with ongoing leaks
Can help identify moisture concerns affecting appliances such as water heaters and washing machines
Can help limit unnecessary demolition with precise, non-invasive tools
Supports an accurate diagnosis for repair decisions based on the findings
In many Tyler homes, plumbing systems run through slabs, exterior walls, and tight crawlspaces where leaks can drip for weeks before visible signs appear. By the time you notice staining or musty odors, moisture may have spread to framing, insulation, and flooring. Professional testing helps pinpoint the source before you approve any plumbing leak repair, helping determine where access is needed while limiting disturbance to surrounding areas. The appropriate repair method depends on the leak’s location, the pipe’s condition, the building layout, and the extent of the damage.

Essential Signs You May Have a Hidden Plumbing Leak
A concealed leak may first appear as a change in water use, pressure, sound, or moisture levels around your property.
Common warning signs:
Sudden spikes in water bills even without lifestyle changes
Warm or damp spots on flooring or carpet
Mold or mildew growth in areas without visible moisture
Musty odors around walls, cabinetry, or crawlspaces
Reduced water pressure in one or more fixtures
Cracks in walls or flooring, often caused by moisture expanding building materials
Sound of running water even when all fixtures are turned off
Why These Signals Matter
Moisture can weaken structural supports, damage flooring, ruin drywall, and contribute to unhealthy indoor air. Early detection can limit damage and water waste.
When you notice these warning signs, jot down where and when they appear so we can use those details during our visit. For example, low pressure at a single bathroom sink may point toward that branch line, while a warm spot near an interior wall may indicate a slab or hot water line leak. Sharing how long you’ve noticed the symptoms and when you hear unusual sounds helps us choose appropriate testing methods.
Tyler Water Utilities offers a concealed-leak credit review process for qualifying customers, but approval isn’t guaranteed and typically requires documentation of both the leak and the completed repair. It’s also important to determine whether the leak is on your side of the water meter or the utility’s side. Our technicians can help make that determination and explain what repair documentation may be needed.
Risks of Ignoring a Plumbing Leak
Delaying leak repair can turn a minor issue into a major structural problem.
Potential consequences include:
Structural damage to walls, floors, and foundations
Mold and mildew growth affecting indoor air quality
Increased utility bills from continuous water loss
Damage to electrical systems in severe moisture cases
Slab leaks involve piping beneath or near a concrete foundation and may require targeted access, rerouting, or another repair approach. We confirm the location and explain the available options and tradeoffs before work begins. For main line or irrigation problems, we consider how the leak affects water pressure, landscaping, and hardscapes so you can choose a repair plan that fits your property and budget.
We serve residential and commercial customers throughout Tyler. Whether moisture is traced to a plumbing source or involves condensation and drainage from HVAC equipment, our combined plumbing and HVAC background allows us to evaluate the possible cause.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Know If I Need Professional Leak Detection?
An unexplained increase in your water bill, damp or warm flooring, reduced water pressure, musty odors, or the sound of running water when fixtures are off may justify professional testing. These signs don’t confirm a leak on their own, but they can help guide an inspection.
What Is Included in a Plumbing Leak Detection Service?
We review your observations, inspect visible plumbing and affected areas, and perform targeted testing based on the suspected location. If we identify the source, we explain the findings, available repair options, and pricing before approved work begins.
Can Small Leaks Cause Major Property Damage?
Yes. A small leak can damage drywall, flooring, insulation, cabinetry, or structural materials when it continues unnoticed. Prompt testing can limit the amount of water that reaches surrounding areas.
How Long Does It Take to Find a Hidden Plumbing Leak?
The time required depends on the complexity of the plumbing system and the location of the leak. Many leaks can be identified within a single visit using modern diagnostic tools, while more complex cases, such as a slab leak with no visible surface signs, may require additional testing.
Is Leak Detection Destructive to Walls or Floors?
We begin with non-invasive testing when appropriate to narrow down the source before recommending access. Some concealed leaks may still require a targeted opening, depending on their location, accessibility, and the condition of the pipe.
What Causes Hidden Water Leaks in Homes?
Common causes include aging pipes, corrosion, shifting soil conditions, high water pressure, and faulty plumbing connections. Homes with older plumbing systems are especially prone to developing hidden leaks over time.
Should I Shut Off My Water If I Suspect a Leak?
If water is actively flowing or threatening finished, structural, or electrical areas, shut off the affected fixture or main water supply if you can do so safely. Move people and belongings away from the affected area, then call for service.
