Licensed Leak Detection in Cambridge, Ontario
Our Services
Hidden Leak Detection Across Galt, Preston and Hespeler
Hy-Pro Plumbing and Drain Cleaning provides water leak detection in Cambridge, locating leaks hidden inside walls, ceilings, basement floors and incoming water lines. We serve homes in Galt, Preston, Hespeler and the newer neighbourhoods between them. Our licensed and insured plumbers average 10 years of experience and use acoustic listening devices and thermal imaging, then confirm each reading visually. For repairs and other plumbing work, our Cambridge plumber team takes calls around the clock.
How Does Hy-Pro Find a Hidden Leak in Cambridge?
We prove the leak on your meter, rule out the usual fixtures, then pinpoint the source with sound and heat readings before anything is opened. You get the location, the cause and a written recommendation. It’s the same method behind Hy-Pro’s plumbing services across Southwestern Ontario.
A leak costs more than most people expect. In 2026, the City of Cambridge charges $2.82 per cubic metre for water and $2.87 for wastewater, so every 1,000 litres a leak wastes adds about $5.69 to your bill. A toilet seeping day and night or a pinhole in a basement line keeps adding to that total until someone finds it.
Our first step is the meter. With every tap, appliance and softener off, we watch the flow indicator. Movement confirms water is escaping somewhere between the meter and your fixtures. Then we close fixture valves one at a time to rule out toilets, the laundry hookups and the fridge line.
When the fixtures check out, the equipment takes over. Acoustic listening devices pick up the hiss of pressurized water escaping through a crack, a loose fitting or a corroded section of pipe, even through concrete. Thermal imaging shows the cooler patch wet drywall or plaster leaves behind. We confirm each finding visually before suggesting where to open.
Some leaks sit under the basement slab. Supply lines that run beneath the floor to a kitchen or laundry room can leak for weeks before you notice damp grout or a warm spot. Our gear narrows a slab leak to a small section of floor, so the concrete work stays as limited as possible.
Housing age in Cambridge shapes the search too. Century homes in Galt and Preston can mix original pipe with decades of patched repairs, while newer subdivisions use PEX lines that leak at fittings rather than along the pipe.
Why Choose Hy-Pro to Locate Leaks in Cambridge
Our plumbers average 10 years of experience, quote before starting and handle emergency calls 24/7 from our Cambridge location. At Hy-Pro, we inspect, show you the evidence and let you choose the repair.
Our paperwork also supports a bill adjustment. Cambridge’s High Water Leak Adjustment Policy requires proof of repair, and the high bill must be issued within the last 90 days. The extra water billed has to be at least twice your average consumption. Our invoices name the leak, the repair and the parts, ready to attach to your application.
The City also limits adjustments to one in any 12 months and two in a 10-year period. That makes an accurate first diagnosis worth more than a quick patch on the wrong pipe.
We’re licensed, insured, Canadian owned and operated. Larger repairs, like replacing a supply line under the slab, are eligible for financing through Financeit, subject to credit approval.
Frequently Asked Questions About Leak Detection in Cambridge
How much does it cost to find a leak in Cambridge?
Time and access drive the cost. A leak traced to one bathroom is a short visit, while a leak under the basement slab or along the buried service line takes more searching. Plaster walls, crawl spaces and after-hours timing also matter. We quote before any work starts. Bring your last few water bills to the visit, since the jump in usage often shows roughly when the leak began.
How do I know if my toilet is leaking silently?
Add a few drops of food colouring to the tank and wait 15 minutes without flushing. Colour in the bowl means the flapper is letting water through. You might also hear the tank refill on its own every so often, a sign it’s losing water to the bowl. Silent toilet leaks rarely leave a puddle, so they show up on the bill before anywhere else. A new flapper fixes many of them, and we handle fill valves and flush valves when it doesn’t.
Can I appeal a high water bill in Cambridge after a leak?
Possibly. The City of Cambridge has an appeal process for bills greater than twice your average consumption and over $250, where no adjustment was granted under the High Water Leak Adjustment Policy. The concern must have happened within the last six months and already gone through the leak adjustment review. Keep your repair invoice and meter photos, since both support your case. Questions go to the City’s Tax and Water Division by email.
What should I do in the first hour after finding a leak?
Close the main shut-off valve, usually beside the water meter in the basement. Open a low faucet to drain pressure from the lines, then move rugs, boxes and electronics away from the wet area. Stay clear of wet outlets and the electrical panel. Photograph the damage and the meter reading, since both help with insurance and any bill adjustment. Then call us, and we’ll take it from there.
What other plumbing services does Hy-Pro offer in Cambridge?
Finding the leak usually leads to the fix. Our Cambridge crews also handle:
- Slab leak repair for supply lines under basement floors
- Pipe repair and replacement for pinholed copper and failed fittings
- Toilet repair for flappers, fill valves and wax rings
- Water main repairs on the line from the street
- Water softener service when a valve or drain line sticks
Bring up anything else on your list during the visit, and you’ll have a price before extra work goes ahead.
How do I book a leak detection visit with Hy-Pro in Cambridge?
Call our Cambridge office at 519-622-7770 or request service online, day or night. Tell us what your meter did with everything off and where you’ve noticed damp spots or sounds. If water is still spreading, we’ll guide you through closing the main valve while a plumber is on the way. We also serve Kitchener-Waterloo and Guelph.

He quickly assessed what needed to be done, and finished the job the same day. He walked us through the entire process so there were no surprises, and we couldn’t be happier with the result.

He is absolutely awesome and a very knowledgeable tech on what he does.

He took the time to explain everything step by step, made sure we understood our options, and involved us in the process the entire way. He helped diagnose and repair a broken basement water pipe efficiently and with great attention to detail. His communication, patience, and workmanship really stood out, and the job was completed cleanly and professionally. We truly appreciated how transparent and reassuring he was during a stressful situation. Highly recommend Eric N. for any plumbing needs.

We were having a leak behind the fridge, we called hypro plumbing, and they send out Masharo C, he diagnose the problem an quickly provide us with options to solve the problem. The work was done in a timely manner. We will surely recommend him in the future.. Thanks to him an his team...
This is my second time calling in Hy-Pro to help me out. I needed two washroom sink faucets replaced. I could probably do it myself but I'm a busy parent and can't seem to carve out the time, so we called to see if Hy-Pro could come out over the next week or so. As luck would have it, they were available same day to squeeze us in for a non-emergency call. A few hours later, I'm in the capable hands of Eric Nigh. After a quick consultation and look around, he proposed a few options, I signed off, and he got right to work. Despite some seized valves and a tiny space under the vanity, he was in and out in time for me to turn the water back on and get dinner going for my kids. He even had time to answer some pesky homeowner questions about our future plans for a remodel and sent me a quote afterwards to cost out a softener replacement. While I could have saved money stumbling my way through the installations, I was happy to pay for speed, expertise, friendly advice, no extra trips to the hardware store, and a job that doesn't leak the first time you turn the water back on. As a parent, I appreciate that Eric gave me several hours of my time and sanity back.
We called up Hy-Pro due to a sewer drain being clogged, the tech Ben arrived ahead of schedule, explained exactly what he was going to be doing, even wore boot covers through the house! He got right to work. After a while of trying to use the power snake and camera he determined the line had collapsed or large tree roots in the system. The house is over 110 years old with original piping. Ben had suggested we dig to fix the collapsed area outside, we agree and thats when Ian stepped in to assist us with our options, very professional and easy to work with and not pushy. The following day at 8am sharp they had a crew on-site to dig up and replace our entire main sewer line, the guys were quick, polite, and walked us through step by step. They were completely wrapped up by 430pm and we had full service returned. The crew cleaned up the area once finished, we have absolutely no complaints! And to top it off we received a call the following day from Joseph asking how everything went, very professional comapny ans staff, pricing was also reasonable compared to others out there. We would highly recommend Hy-Pro! Ps. Sorry for the long review.
Eric N was very friendly and did a great job! He was able to identify the issue with our sump pump and fix it immediately. Thank you for help, Eric!

Eric N was great! Fixed the leak in my basement and made all of my leaky shower worries disappear. I would 100% recommend this company (2024)
Masharo Campbell was great. He came in and snaked the kitchen sink multiple times to get the grease cleaned out. He was respectful and curious.
Nahom was great. Fast, efficient, explained everything and provided great service.
Had Jermaine stop by to check out what I thought was plumbing issue as I had heard a dripping noise coming from behind my drywall, which was located right under my bathroom upstairs. Given that I had previous plumbing issues with my toilet in the past, I was convinced that it might’ve been a leak somewhere. He took the time to listen and to inspect in my bathroom/gaming room down below, he also checked my crawl space to find where the pipes lead to. He explained that it likely isn’t a leaking issue, but rather it’s an HVAC expansion noise that’s been happening and that he ran into that in his own experience and that it was a very similar sound. He said he could’ve taken part of the wall out to do a diagnostic, but he didn’t think that was appropriate as he thinks a leak wasn’t the cause of the noise. He was very respectful, polite, humorous and very honest to let me know that nothing seemed to be in immediate need of danger or concern. He told me to reach out if I do seem to see any further problems or issues in my ceiling/wall, but for now, it should be fine! He was awesome, hopefully I am able to get him again if I have any other future plumbing problems (which hopefully I don’t, knock on wood!), thanks Hy-Pro and Jermaine! 🙂
Naahom was very nice, got the job done!
Owen G was awesome! Super personable, answered my many questions, and did a great job. Highly recommend!

He was punctual, knowledgeable, efficient and cleared the drain. This was Oct.02. All was good for a week and then the draining issue started to re-appear. Called Janice at Hy Pro this morning(Oct.15) and Masharo was here by 12:45 and snaked the drain again. Big improvement right away. All these employees are fantastic.
