Leak detection and pipe repair in Augusta, KS. Visible and hidden leaks found fast -- before they become water damage. Call (316) 333-6326.
Augusta is Butler County's second-largest city, with deep roots in the Kansas oil industry and a tight-knit community that expects quality work. Sunflower Plumbing has been a familiar name on State Street, Dearborn Street, and throughout Augusta's residential neighborhoods -- delivering honest plumbing and septic service with no runaround.
Hidden leaks in Augusta homes can run water bills up hundreds of dollars a month and cause structural damage before you see a wet spot. Sunflower Plumbing locates hidden leaks in walls, under slabs, and in supply lines using professional detection equipment -- then repairs what we find cleanly and correctly. Slab leaks are particularly common in homes built on concrete slabs throughout Butler County. The soil movement that comes with clay-heavy ground and Kansas freeze-thaw cycles stresses supply lines running under the slab. A slab leak can go undetected for months while water migrates under the foundation. Symptoms include warm spots on the floor, the sound of running water when no fixtures are in use, or an unexplained spike in the water bill. For wall and ceiling leaks, we use moisture meters and thermal imaging to identify the wet area before opening drywall -- so we're cutting in the right place, not guessing. This matters because water doesn't always pool directly below where it entered. It runs along framing, insulation, and vapor barriers, sometimes several feet from the actual leak source. All repairs use materials appropriate to the existing system -- we don't patch copper with push-fit fittings and call it a day. The repair is meant to hold for the life of the home.
We locate the leak before we open the wall. No unnecessary demolition, no guesswork.
If your water bill spiked unexpectedly or you hear running water when nothing is on, call us -- a hidden leak in Augusta causes serious damage the longer it runs.

Yes. Slab leaks, leaks inside wall cavities, and slow supply line failures often don't produce visible wet spots until significant damage has already occurred. A spike in your water bill with no change in usage is a strong indicator of a hidden leak.
A slab leak is a water line failure beneath the concrete foundation of your home. It can erode soil under the slab, damage flooring, and raise water bills significantly. It requires professional detection and repair � not a DIY fix.
Most residential leak detections are completed in 1-3 hours depending on the complexity. We locate the source before making any access cuts, which keeps the repair scope as small as possible.
Small leaks rarely stay small. Water finds paths through insulation, framing, and drywall and creates mold conditions within 24-48 hours of wetting. We recommend addressing any confirmed leak immediately.
Yes. We both locate and repair leaks � you don't need to hire a separate contractor. Once we've confirmed the location, we discuss the repair scope and cost with you before opening anything.
