Leak Detection in Central City starts where all our work does: a flat price quoted before anyone picks up a tool. Historic-district homes come with historic-district rules. Repiping a 1920s bungalow in Willo or Roosevelt is as much about preserving plaster and trim as it is about the pipe.

There is a certain kind of plumber who responds to a suspected leak by opening drywall until he finds water. It works, eventually. It also leaves you with a repair bill and a decorating bill, and no guarantee that the first three holes were necessary.

The alternative is to measure. Isolate the system and pressure test it, and you know whether there is a leak at all. Listen with acoustic gear, and you know roughly where. Put a thermal camera on it, and you can usually narrow that to within a foot before anyone picks up a cutting tool.

Worth investigating when

  • The meter turns with the house shut down

    The single most reliable test you can run yourself. Everything off, watch the low-flow dial. Movement means loss.

  • Musty smell with no visible source

    Water inside a wall cavity finds gypsum and organic material long before it finds daylight. Your nose usually beats your eyes by weeks.

  • Staining that returns after painting

    A stain that comes back is an active leak. A stain that stays put after a repaint was historic. The difference is worth establishing before you repaint twice.

  • A bill that will not settle

    Compare against the same month last year rather than last month. Seasonal irrigation makes month-to-month comparison useless in the Valley.

Leak Detection & Repair

Questions we get asked

Can you find a leak without breaking anything?
We can locate it without breaking anything. Repairing it means reaching the pipe, and pipes inside walls and under slabs are behind something. The point of the diagnostic is that we open one small area rather than four exploratory ones.
How accurate is the location?
Typically within a foot or so on slab lines, better on accessible runs. Rocky ground and deep lines reduce it, which is where thermal earns its keep.
Do you handle irrigation and pool leaks too?
Yes. Both are common causes of unexplained bills in the Valley, and both frequently get misdiagnosed as house leaks by people who only checked indoors.
