With a leak confirmed as the problem, the next step is to figure out whether the leak is a part of your water line vs. sewer line, or maybe an appliance. There are multiple methods to accomplish this, including more visual inspections, water pressure measurements, and closing off valves for different systems.

Finally, we need to find the cracked pipe or appliance. The most obvious way is through visual pipe inspection, such as checking the walls and floors for stains, but this doesn't work for every leak. If we're confident that there's a leak but can't see it from the outside, we will take advantage of a drain camera or ground microphone to locate it.
