Flat-fee acoustic & thermal detection. Precise location. Smaller repair scope. Predictable pricing.
Opening 18–24 inches vs widening concentric circles (4–8× the area).
Real Middlebury Case
"Competing quote: $7,800. Our detection + repair: $1,750."
Acoustic detection narrowed leak to 12-inch radius under vanity. One tile removed.
Isolates 200-800 Hz signature with bandpass filtering and triangulation. Tracer gas used for intermittent leaks.
Documented location with working radius reported in writing before repair quote.
Cross-verifies acoustic findings. Precision tightens to 6-8 inches on hot-side leaks.
Small section opened, failed pipe replaced (copper or PEX), pressure tested, floor restored. 4-8 hours. 1-year warranty.
For repeated leaks: reroute through walls or attic. 5-year warranty on rerouted line.
Pre-purchase or insurance documentation with pressure testing, acoustic scan, thermal imaging, and detailed written report.
These are real proportional relationships from recent Middlebury jobs. Exact pricing depends on parts and site conditions at time of service.
"Gaa did an acoustic scan... final repair came in under $2,000. The detection fee was worth every cent."
— Rebecca H.
"I was skeptical of paying for a diagnostic... Gaa's pricing was transparent from start to finish."
— Mark D.
"The technician called personally to apologize... I appreciated the accountability."
— Catherine V.
Under typical residential conditions, our equipment locates the leak within a 12-18 inch radius. Thermal imaging tightens this to 6-8 inches on hot-side leaks.
Shutting off pressure is a short-term safety measure. Saturated soil under the foundation continues to pose structural risk.
The fee credits toward any repair scheduled with us. You keep the written diagnostic report either way.
Most policies cover resulting damage but not the pipe repair itself. Our documentation supports your claim.
Spot repairs: 4-8 hours in a single day. Reroutes: 1-2 days. Accurate timeline provided upfront.
Slab leaks get more expensive every day. Schedule your documented detection now.
