Why Leak Detection Pricing Varies
No two diagnostics are the same. Here's what drives the difference in cost.
Water, sewer, drain, and gas concerns each require different diagnostic approaches and equipment.
A leak under a slab, inside a wall, or at an accessible fixture varies in how much time and technique the diagnostic requires.
Finished spaces, crawl spaces, and open-access utility areas have different levels of complexity.
A single symptomatic area costs less to evaluate than a whole-property or multi-system scan.
If symptoms could stem from water lines, sewer, or gas — each is a separate diagnostic scope.
Some concerns require camera inspection, pressure testing, or specialized detection equipment beyond a visual assessment.
Not sure what scope you need? The diagnostic quiz asks about your specific symptoms and property and routes you to the right starting tier — or helps flag whether a call to discuss first makes sense. Start the quiz.
Leak Detection Cost vs. Repair Cost
These are two different things. Understanding the difference helps you plan accurately.
The diagnostic step. The goal is to confirm or narrow down the source of the problem before any repair decision is made.

Repair contractors typically need a confirmed source before quoting accurately. A diagnostic report documents the likely source, affected area, and supporting photos — which helps you get accurate repair quotes and avoid unnecessary exploratory work. Learn more about repairs after diagnostics.
Sewer, drain & gas starting pricing
These issues are situation-specific. We start with a $99 trip charge to assess on-site and explain next steps before any additional work begins.
On-site assessment of symptoms and accessible fixtures. If specialized diagnostics (camera, smoke testing) are needed, options are explained and approved before any additional fees apply.
If you smell gas or suspect an active leak, leave the property and contact 911 or your gas utility before calling TruePoint.
On-site assessment of your gas concern. Testing options and any additional fees are explained and approved before work begins.
Pricing context by service
Different concerns have different cost drivers. Here's what to expect for each.
Water leak detection pricing
Water leak diagnostic pricing follows the fixed three-tier structure above. The right tier depends on the number of symptoms, where the concern is located, and how much of the plumbing system needs to be verified. A single high-water-bill concern with no visible symptoms is typically a Standard Diagnostic starting point.
Slab leak concern pricing
Slab leak concerns may require more diagnostic time because the source may be hidden under flooring, concrete, or near foundation plumbing. The first step is confirming the source before deciding what repair path makes sense. These concerns typically fall under the Standard Diagnostic ($249) or Comprehensive Scan ($349) tier depending on property size and how many areas need to be checked.
Sewer & drain diagnostic pricing
Sewer and drain concerns vary based on symptoms — slow drains, multiple backups, gurgling sounds, or visible sewage at a cleanout. Pricing starts with a $99 on-site assessment. If camera inspection or additional testing is needed to confirm the source, that is explained and approved before any additional cost is added. Isolated concerns typically cost less than whole-system line evaluations.
Gas leak testing pricing
Active gas smell: leave the property and contact 911 or your gas utility first.
Gas testing visits start at a $99 on-site assessment charge. After the initial visit, pressure testing and line isolation options are explained and approved before any additional work begins. Testing scope depends on whether the concern involves a specific appliance, a gas line segment, or a broader system check.
Pre-purchase plumbing inspection pricing
Pre-purchase plumbing inspections are quote-based and depend on property size, what systems are included in the inspection scope (water, sewer, gas), and any specific concerns flagged in the home inspection report. These inspections are typically requested during the option period and the report is written to support buyer or seller decision-making. Contact us for a quote based on the specific property.
