How We Detect Leaks: Advanced Tools, Accurate Results
At Feltner Sewer & Drain, finding residential leaks isn’t guesswork; it’s tried-and-true methods backed by years of experience and specialized training. We combine time-tested techniques with cutting-edge diagnostic tools to give our Milwaukee clients fast, accurate, and non-invasive leak detection.
Combustible Gas Detectors
We use calibrated handheld gas detectors, also known as electronic sniffers, that sense and measure combustible gases at extremely low concentrations. These tools allow us to trace leaks to exact locations, even when behind walls, under floors, or along outdoor lines.
Precision Pressure Testing
For suspected leaks inside piping systems, we perform controlled pressure-drop tests. By isolating sections of the gas line and applying air or inert gas, we can monitor for pressure loss over time, a sure sign of a hidden leak.
Soap Solution Leak Tests
To pinpoint leaks, we use a professional-grade soap solution that forms visible bubbles when applied to leaking joints, valves, or fittings. This method is especially useful in exposed areas or appliance hook-ups.
Thermal Imaging & Infrared Sensors
Using infrared thermography, we can detect subtle temperature changes caused by escaping gas or its impact on nearby materials. This is especially helpful for gas lines hidden behind drywall or in concrete slabs.
Ultrasonic and Acoustic Leak Detection
In more complex or high-pressure systems, we use ultrasonic listening devices to detect the high-frequency sounds that gas makes as it escapes through even the smallest pinhole. This non-invasive method is highly effective on underground or hard-to-access piping.

Suspect a Leak? Here’s Exactly What to Do Before Help Arrives
Propane and natural gas line leaks can be very dangerous; they are highly flammable and can cause serious health risks. That’s why you should leave the repairs to our licensed gas leak detection plumbers, who know how to handle gas line emergencies safely and effectively.
Call Feltner Sewer & Drain at (262) 300-8939 and follow these steps:
- Evacuate the area immediately. Get everyone out of the building as quickly and calmly as possible.
- Leave doors and windows open on your way out to help ventilate the space.
- Avoid anything that could cause a spark. Do not turn on or off any electrical switches, appliances, or lights. Do not use your phone, lighters, or anything electronic while inside the building.
- If it’s safe to do so, shut off your gas supply at the main valve (usually located near the gas meter). If you’re unsure how, or it’s unsafe, skip this step. Alternatively, call your utility company to request an emergency gas shutoff.
- If the situation appears dangerous, you detect a strong gas odor, or someone isn’t feeling well, call 911 once outside and at a safe distance.
- Wait for Feltner’s trained professionals to arrive. We’ll inspect and clear the area before re-entering the property.
