Where we listen
Our leak detection coverage in Louisiana runs to 339 ZIP codes in 167 cities. In a state of large municipalities most of the supply run a leak can hide in is under a street or a driveway rather than inside the house, and the meter is often a long way from the building. That distance is why a rising bill can show no damp anywhere indoors.

What this site is
AcousticLeak is a referral service, not a contractor. We connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands. We carry out no work and no leak location, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call. Nothing here is a statement about what your own utility will credit; only your utility can tell you that.Checking a credential in Louisiana
Louisiana licenses are issued by the State Plumbing Board of Louisiana, which publishes a public search you can use before work begins.

What that coverage looks like
New Orleans alone accounts for 61 of the state's 339 covered ZIP codes, and Jefferson Parish County for 88. Dense coverage like that is where a leak call is answered quickest; the 53 counties behind it are where the drive time starts to matter, and where locating the leak precisely before anyone is dispatched saves the most.
How a leak detection job goes
A leak you cannot see is found with sound and with pressure, not by digging until something turns up. The meter is isolated and watched, the run is listened along, and the point is marked before any surface is opened. What that is worth is simple arithmetic: the cost of locating is fixed, and the cost of opening the wrong three meters of concrete is not.
What the call asks about leak detection
- Whether the meter moves with every tap in the house shut off — that one test separates a leak from a fitting.
- Where the water is showing, if it is showing at all: a ceiling, a wall, a warm patch on a floor, or only the bill.
- Whether the house is on a slab, a crawl space or a basement, because that decides how the run is reached.
Every Louisiana city we route in
