Leak detection and repair in Westchester, NY
Leak detection across Westchester — the stain on the ceiling, the meter that never stops, the damp patch in the basement. We find where the water is actually coming from, then repair it.
- 24/7 emergency service
- Licensed & insured
- COI on request
- Price agreed before work starts
Overview
The damp patch is rarely above the leak
Water travels along joists, inside walls and under floors before it shows itself, which is why opening the ceiling under the stain so often finds nothing. Leak detection is the part of the job that saves the plaster.
KBD traces leaks in Westchester homes, apartments and co-ops back to the fitting, pipe or fixture causing them — supply lines, waste pipes, water heaters, valves and the joints behind them — and repairs what we find. You get the cause and the price before any repair starts.
What we handle
Leaks we trace and repair
Ceiling & wall stains
Water showing on a floor below traced back to its source.
Pipe leaks behind walls
Weeping joints and pinholes located with the least opening possible.
Running meter, no obvious leak
A meter that moves with everything off, chased down to the fitting.
Water heater & valve leaks
Tanks, relief valves and shut-offs that have started seeping.
Leaks between apartments
Water coming through from another unit, traced to the real source.
Outside & underground
Wet patches in the yard and the supply line beneath them.
Good to know
Before we arrive
- Put a bucket under an active drip and move what can be damaged
- Note whether the leak runs all the time or only when water is used
- Check the meter with every faucet closed — movement means a supply leak
- If water is near outlets or wiring, keep clear and shut the main valve if you can reach it safely
A slow leak today is mold tomorrow
Water inside a wall does its damage quietly for weeks before anyone sees it. Finding it early is the cheap version of this job.

Questions
Leak detection & repair: common questions
Still not sure? Phone us — asking costs nothing.
How do you find a leak without tearing the wall apart?
We start with what the evidence says — meter behavior, which fixtures move the water, where it shows and when — and work from the accessible side: basements, ceilings below, access panels. Openings are the last resort, not the first move.
My meter is spinning but nothing looks wet. What now?
That usually means a supply-side leak — a buried line, a valve, a toilet quietly running water into the bowl. It can be isolated section by section until the moving part is found.
Water is coming through from the apartment above. Who fixes it?
The source has to be found first, and it is often not where the water appears. We trace it, document what we find, and provide a certificate of insurance where the building asks for one.
Do you repair what you find, or just locate it?
Both. Leak detection is the start of the job — once the cause is clear, you get the price for repairing it before any work begins.
