How do you find leaks without tearing up my Richmond home?

What causes hidden pipe leaks in Richmond homes?

Hidden pipe leaks in Richmond are commonly caused by pinhole corrosion in copper pipes from local water chemistry, failed pipe joints from age or movement, improper original installation, high water pressure stressing pipe walls, and physical damage from renovation work. Homes built before 1990 with original copper or galvanized pipes are most susceptible to hidden leaks.
