PRECISION STARTS WITH A QUESTION.What is your property telling you?
LESS UNCERTAINTY. A BETTER START.
Leak detection in High Point starts with finding the cause.
Meet APX Leak Locator →Leak detection is the process of investigating unexplained water loss and locating a suspected source using checks suited to the property. A damp wall, higher bill or wet lawn is a clue—not a diagnosis.
APX Leak Locator helps High Point property owners connect with independent providers. Describe what you are seeing, ask whether your address and problem are covered, and confirm the inspection scope before booking.
Start with home leak detection for indoor symptoms, underground water-line testing for unexplained outdoor water, or commercial leak investigation for a managed property. The provider should explain findings and any further access or testing needed.

KNOW THE SIGNS
Your property may be
giving you clues.
You do not need to know where the leak is before you call.
01 / WATER USE
A bill that doesn’t add up.
Compare recent use with changes in occupancy, irrigation and appliances. Unexplained consumption deserves a closer look.
02 / SURFACES
Damp spots that return.
Recurring stains or soft finishes may come from plumbing, rain entry or condensation. Finding the cause matters.
03 / SOUND
Water you hear, but can’t see.
Running-water sounds with fixtures off are useful details to share. Note when the sound begins and where it is loudest.
04 / OUTDOORS
An unusually wet patch.
Tell the provider whether it appears during dry weather or after irrigation. Surface water can travel away from its source.
Active water escaping? If safe, turn off the accessible private water supply. Avoid wet electrical equipment and do not enter unsafe flooded spaces. Call to discuss availability; APX is not an emergency dispatch service.
HOW OUR REFERRAL SERVICE WORKS
From “where is it?”
to a more informed next step.
A simple conversation helps establish the right kind of help. You approve the provider’s scope and price.
Tell us what you notice.
Call (336) 396-8244 with the address, property type and symptoms. Mention active water, access restrictions or recent plumbing work.
Confirm the provider.
Ask about availability, suitable testing, credentials and the inspection fee. Referrals depend on coverage and provider capacity.

Ask better questions before you book.
A detection visit and a repair are not always the same appointment. A clear scope helps you compare options fairly.
What does the inspection include?
Ask whether the provider will test fixtures, isolate lines, mark a suspected location or provide written findings. Confirm any callout fee, minimum charge and additional testing costs.
Which method fits the problem?
Acoustic testing listens for leak-related sound. Thermal imaging identifies surface-temperature patterns that may warrant moisture checks. Neither replaces a property-specific assessment.
Who is responsible for the work?
Get the provider’s business name and verify relevant licensing and insurance. Ask who handles repair and restoration, and what any written warranty covers. APX makes no unverified claims about providers’ credentials.
STRAIGHT ANSWERS
Questions before
you call?
Useful information for High Point homeowners, landlords and property managers.
Call Now (336) 396-8244How do I know if I need leak detection?
An unexplained increase in water use, recurring dampness, the sound of running water with fixtures off, or a persistent wet patch can justify an inspection. These signs do not prove a hidden pipe leak. Check obvious fixtures and recent changes in use, then ask a provider to assess the source.
Can a leak be located without opening walls or floors?
Often, testing can narrow the search before access is opened. Acoustic tools, moisture readings and thermal imaging may help, depending on the pipe and building. No method guarantees a completely non-invasive inspection. Agree any exploratory opening with the provider first.
How much does leak detection in High Point cost?
The fee depends on the property, suspected leak, access, testing time and equipment required. Ask whether the visit includes a written report, location marking and follow-up testing. Repair, excavation and restoration may be separate charges; get the scope and price before authorizing work.
Does APX Leak Locator carry out repairs?
No. APX is a referral service that connects callers with independent providers. The provider determines whether it can offer detection, repair or both. Confirm the company name, qualifications, availability and fees directly before booking.
Can I request urgent help?
Call to ask about current availability and describe any active flooding. Arrival times and out-of-hours service are not guaranteed. If safe, close your accessible private shutoff valve to limit a plumbing leak. Stay away from standing water near electrical equipment.
Who handles a leak near the water meter?
The City of High Point can advise about its meter and public infrastructure. Plumbing on the customer side is generally the property owner’s responsibility. For standing water near the meter or a suspected public-system issue, contact City customer service at (336) 883-3111; this is separate from APX.
A USEFUL FIRST CHECK
High water use isn’t always a hidden leak.
Check whether guests, pool filling, irrigation or a running fixture explain the change. The City of High Point advises reviewing usage and investigating continuous consumption. Renters should notify the property owner or manager.
A safely accessible meter can help compare readings while all intentional water use is off. If unexplained use continues, ask a provider to investigate. Do not force utility covers or operate utility-owned valves.
