Leak Detection in Denver

Find hidden leaks fast with advanced detection technology. Our certified technicians pinpoint the exact location of water leaks in your home or business, saving you money and preventing costly water damage.

The Problem With Hidden Leaks

Water leaks aren't always obvious. Sometimes the damage happens behind walls, beneath concrete slabs, or underground where you can't see it. By the time you notice the problem, water has already ruined your property.

A small leak that goes undetected can waste thousands of gallons of water a year and drive up your utility bills. It can also cause mold growth, structural damage, and foundation issues that are expensive to fix.

That's where leak detection comes in. Our technicians use specialized equipment to locate the exact source of the leak without guessing or tearing apart your walls and floors.

Why Leaks Hide

Water runs to the lowest point. A leak in your main water line might be underground, traveling downward before you see any sign of it on the surface.

Inside walls, water soaks into insulation and framing long before visible stains appear. Copper pipes corrode from the inside out. Slab leaks sit beneath concrete, slowly wasting water and destabilizing your foundation.

The longer a leak goes undetected, the more expensive the repairs become. Early detection saves you money and prevents secondary damage.

Common Causes of Leaks

Understanding what causes leaks helps you recognize when you might need professional detection. Here are the most common culprits we find in Denver homes.

Pipe Corrosion

Older copper and galvanized steel pipes corrode over time. Pinhole leaks develop where the metal wears thin. These happen slowly and often go unnoticed until significant water damage occurs.

High Water Pressure

Denver homes sometimes experience high water pressure that stresses pipe joints and connections. Over time, this pressure causes small leaks to develop at weak points in your plumbing system.

Temperature Fluctuations

Colorado's dry climate and temperature swings cause pipes to expand and contract. This stress creates cracks and loosens connections, especially in exposed piping in basements and crawl spaces.

Ground Shifting

Water line leaks often result from soil movement and settling. Clay soil in the Denver area shifts seasonally, stressing underground pipes and breaking seals at connections.

Poor Installation

Improper pipe connections, wrong materials, or substandard workmanship from years ago can lead to leaks that show up when pipes are stressed by increased water use or age.

Tree Root Intrusion

Tree roots seek moisture and can invade underground water and sewer lines. Even small cracks attract roots, which grow into the pipe and cause major blockages and leaks.

What Our Leak Detection Service Involves

Initial Assessment

We start by examining your property and talking with you about your concerns. Have you noticed an increase in water bills? Soft spots in the yard? Mold smells? Water stains? We listen and observe.

We also inspect visible plumbing, check water meter readings, and look for signs of moisture damage or mold growth. This tells us what we're dealing with.

Advanced Detection Methods

We use acoustic detection equipment that listens for the sound of water escaping from pipes. This device amplifies the hissing and rushing sounds that leak water makes.

For slab leaks and ground-level pipes, we use thermal imaging to detect temperature differences created by moving water. Ground penetrating radar helps us see underground pipes and identify where breaks have occurred.

Pinpointing the Leak

Once we've narrowed down the location, we use dye testing and smoke testing to confirm the exact spot. This precision approach means we don't have to tear into walls or dig up yards unnecessarily.

We mark the leak location clearly and provide you with a detailed report showing where the problem is and what it will take to fix it.

Repair Recommendations

We explain your options. Sometimes a simple patch or joint repair fixes the problem. Other times, section replacement or full repiping is needed.

We'll give you an honest assessment of what's necessary and what it will cost. If you need repairs, we can handle that too, or you can get a second opinion. The choice is yours.
