Hidden leaks found and fixed without tearing your home apart. Advanced detection equipment pinpoints the source before we open anything. Call (316) 333-6326.
A hidden water leak can cause thousands of dollars in structural damage before it ever surfaces visibly. In Butler County's older housing stock — much of it built in the 1960s and 70s with original copper and galvanized supply lines — pinhole leaks inside walls and under concrete slabs are a genuine risk that grows with every passing year.
Sunflower Plumbing uses acoustic detection and pressure testing to locate leaks with precision. We find the source before we open anything — so the repair is targeted, not exploratory. No tearing out whole walls looking for something we could have pinpointed in 20 minutes.
We document everything thoroughly — important when dealing with homeowners insurance on slab leaks, which is common on Butler County properties. You'll know exactly what happened, where, and what we did to fix it.

Pinhole leaks in copper lines under concrete slabs are detected with acoustic equipment and confirmed with pressure testing before any concrete is opened. Once located, we repair with a targeted access point — not a trench across your floor. We document for insurance purposes on every slab leak job.
If you're seeing water stains or damp drywall without an obvious cause, the leak is often a floor or two above the damage point. We trace the source using pressure tests and moisture detection before recommending any demolition.
Deteriorated supply lines to toilets, sinks, and appliances repaired or replaced. These are a common failure point in older Butler County homes — flexible braided lines degrade over time and fail without warning. We replace with quality materials rated for long service life.
Whole-system pressure testing to confirm system integrity after a repair or as a diagnostic tool when a slow leak is suspected but not yet located. Useful after any major plumbing work or before buying an older Butler County property.
Common signs include unexplained increases in your water bill, damp spots on floors or walls, the sound of running water when everything is off, warm spots on a concrete floor (slab leak), mold or mildew odors, and low water pressure that appeared gradually. If you notice any of these, call us — catching a hidden leak early saves thousands in structural damage.
We use acoustic listening equipment and pressure testing to pinpoint leak location before opening any wall or floor. In most cases we can identify the exact location within a foot or two — meaning we only open what's necessary to make the repair, not a whole section of drywall or slab.
Yes. Older homes in El Dorado and Augusta with copper supply lines under the slab are susceptible to pinhole leaks as the pipe ages and the soil shifts. Kansas clay soil movement during wet and dry cycles stresses under-slab lines over time. We see slab leak calls regularly throughout Butler County.
