As a plumbing company, TLC sees all different types of water leaks. Most major leak repairs require leak detection services to locate the source of the leak.
Underground & yard leaks – These are the most common leaks we see in homes. These leaks may not be under the concrete slab but in the yard or patio of a home.

Customer Story in Albuquerque
TLC locates water leak after customer receives high water billProblem: When Albuquerque homeowner Ron T., received a water bill for over $700 he realized he likely had a leak. He called TLC right away to have a plumber come out and locate the leak.
Solution: Jeff came out and used the infrared sonic leak detection equipment and located the leak under the home. Once he pinpointed the leak he gave Ron options for repair. Jeff arranged for one of TLC’s plumbers Jack to come to the home and repair the leak. Jack and his assistant had to cut open the concrete slab under the home to repair the leak. After repairing the leak and cleaning up the area Ron was happy to see that his water bill went back down to $90.
THE CUSTOMER'S TESTIMONIAL
I received a huge water bill ($767.00) and it was apparent that I had a leak…SOMEWHERE! I contacted TLC to come out and see if they could come out and find the leak. First Jeff T. came out and found the leak in short order using some sophisticated infrared and sonic listening devices to pinpoint the leak under the house. He then scheduled Jack C. and his assistant to come out, open up the concrete floor to find the actual leak. I might add that I have wood floors throughout the house and Jeff, Jack and their assistant took great care to protect them from dirt and concrete damage by placing drop cloths from the work area to the front door and beyond. Thank you and cuddos to TLC for your fine service, caring attitude, and your promptness in finding and fixing the underground leak at my home. Now my monthly water bill is back to only $90.
