Leak Detection in Columbus, OH
A hidden leak wastes water, drives up your bill, and quietly rots framing, drywall, and flooring while you sleep. Eco finds it before that happens. With 20-plus years of experience in the same streets, the same neighborhoods, the same mix of pre-war homes and brand-new builds. Our leak detection crew in Columbus, OH, uses thermal cameras, acoustic listeners, and pressure testing to pinpoint the source without ripping the place apart. Call now or book online to claim your $39 off.
Most water leaks happen behind walls and in places you will never see. A tiny hole, the size of a pinhole, behind drywall. A pinprick under a slab. A slow drip above a finished ceiling. These leaks run for months without anyone noticing.
By the time the stain shows up on your ceiling or the floor feels warm under your feet, the damage is already done. Soaked subfloor. Rotted framing. Mold inside the walls. A water bill that doubled, and you can’t figure out why. And homeowners insurance? Most policies cover sudden bursts, not slow leaks. The repair, the cleanup, the inflated bills come out of your pocket.
Eco finds the leak before any of that happens. We’re Eco Plumbers, Electricians, and HVAC Technicians in Columbus for nearly 20 years. Our leak detection services in Columbus, OH, use thermal cameras, acoustic listeners, and pressure testing to pinpoint the source without tearing your walls apart. Found and fixed, often in the same visit. Call now or book online to claim your $39 off.
Built In Columbus, By Columbus
Eco didn’t move into this town. We started here. Aaron Gaynor founded the company in 1999 with a contractor’s license earned at 23 after a rough run through high school, where dyslexia made the classroom a battle. The trades, in his words, saved his life. When the 2007 financial crisis took down his commercial plumbing business, Aaron retrained in green plumbing, rebuilt the company, and kept Columbus as his home base.
That’s why Eco Plumbers University exists. An in-house trade school based right here in Columbus that has graduated more than 100 technicians. Every plumber heading to your address has been through it. We have now started offering specialized residential and commercial leak detection in Columbus, OH, to ensure every property in our community stays dry and protected.

Eco’s promise to every customer
Columbus Homes Have Plumbing Histories
Pre-war homes in German Village, Clintonville, and Olde Towne East run on copper and galvanized lines that are now 70 to 100 years old. Fittings corrode. Joints leak. Slow drips inside the wall cavity hide for years.
Mid-century ranches in Whitehall and Linden often sit on slab foundations. When a hot water line under the slab develops a pinhole, you don’t see water. You see a warm spot on the floor and a water bill that won’t come down.
Newer builds in Polaris, Easton, and the growth zones along I-270 have PEX and copper, but builder fittings, water hammer, and pressure spikes still cause trouble. Different homes, different leak patterns. Eco knows them all.
