Free to homeowners in Madison — the contractor pays us for the introduction, you never do.
The short answer
In Madison, 13% of housing was built before 1940. A bill that climbs with nothing damp indoors points to the private side of the meter, outside the building, where water drains away without ever showing.

13% of Madison housing predates 1940. Listening equipment locates a buried leak before anything is opened, which is the sensible order to do this in.
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.Madison in numbers

A rising bill with nothing damp indoors
That combination almost always means the leak is on the private side of the meter and outside the building — under a driveway, a lawn or a slab, where it drains away without ever showing.
