Emergency Service Available
Your Top-Notch Plumbing Solution
Bracken is proud to announce that we now serve the greater San Antonio area with advanced water leak detection.
Leaks don’t just waste water—they silently wreak havoc behind walls, beneath floors, and under slabs. In serious cases, water leaks have the potential to create sinkholes that compromise the integrity of any structure above ground. Mildew and mold damage can cause infinite damage compared to the initial water damage. Additionally, the high water bills can be suffocating.
Our professional Leak Detection service is designed to uncover the exact source of your plumbing issue using non-invasive technology. Our precision reduces repair costs, and prevents us from needing to open unnecessary spaces, like expensive flooring, or concrete.
Whether it’s a hidden pipe rupture in the main water line or a slow drip under your foundation, our team can locate it precisely—without tearing up your property.
Our technicians are equipped with state-of-the-art tools such as acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging cameras, hydrogen gas insertion, and sewer inspection cameras. These allow us to “see” behind walls and beneath floors, and underground to detect leaks without destructive digging or guessing.
We also use pressure testing to identify drops in system performance, and video pipe inspections to explore underground and in-wall lines.
With years of experience interpreting sensor data and understanding how leaks behave in different environments (concrete slabs, soil, drywall), our team delivers fast solutions. We can also repair the damage. Unlike other leak detection companies, we are your one-call solution.
Waiting for a leak to happen is risky and expensive—especially in high-end homes where damage can run into tens of thousands of dollars. That’s why we offer proactive leak detection through sensor-based systems that can alert you the moment a problem begins.
Our most popular solution is the WaterCop system. Unlike some smart devices that track water flow and require learning your household patterns—like Moen Flo—WaterCop relies on simple, effective moisture sensors placed in high-risk areas such as under sinks, behind appliances, and near water heaters. When these sensors detect water, they automatically shut off your water supply—no guesswork, no programming, no false alarms when someone takes an unexpected shower at 3 a.m.
Among the available brands in the market, our specialists can recommend those that fit best your particular needs best, whether that is monitoring technology, durability, or cost.
Moen Flo is a good fit for homes with predictable water usage and tech-savvy homeowners willing to monitor and adjust. However, it has a high likelihood of false alarms. The last thing you want is to have your water shut off because you chose to get a shower at 1pm. Because of these false alarms, we find that clients who want peace of mind without micromanaging, WaterCop offers a more set-it-and-forget-it solution. Also it can be made Wi-Fi adaptable so you can turn the water off and on from your smart phone.
Installing leak detection sensors is more than just smart—it’s protective. Some insurance companies offer discounts for homes with proactive leak detection systems in place, especially for properties with high-end finishes, hardwood floors, or complex plumbing systems.
Another benefit from having installed a leak detection system is the reduction of your home insurance premium. Insurance companies now offer lower rates for homes that represent a lower risk of flooding, leaks, and other problems related with domestic use of water.These sensors can prevent a minor leak from turning into a major claim, saving thousands in deductible costs and potential premium increases.
Leaks can go unnoticed for weeks or even months. With proactive detection, you catch them the moment they start, preventing mold, rot, drywall damage, and more. It’s one of the most cost-effective home protection upgrades you can make.
