Leak Detection in Boulder, CO: What You Can Expect
Non-invasive leak detection and repair for homes and businesses, with the leak located before anything is opened up.
Accurate Leak Detection Without Tearing Up Your Home
From the Hill, Martin Acres, Table Mesa, North Boulder and Gunbarrel to the newer streets around town, our technicians work on the plumbing and septic systems Boulder homeowners rely on every day. Much of Boulder is older homes near CU, 1950s and 60s ranch homes and newer builds.
Our plumbers are licensed and background-checked, and they explain what they find before they fix it. You approve a written price first, and that is the price you pay.
Wall & Ceiling Leaks
Stains, bubbling paint and musty smells usually trace back to a supply line, drain or fixture connection. We find the source and keep the opening small.
- Moisture mapping
- Fixture & drain checks
- Small, tidy access
Underground Lines
A soggy patch in the yard or low pressure at every tap can mean a break in the main water line. We locate the break and repair or replace the line.
- Line location
- Pressure testing
- Repair or replacement
High Water Bills
A bill that jumps with no change in use almost always means a hidden leak. We test the meter, fixtures and irrigation to find where the water is going.
- Meter test
- Toilet & fixture audit
- Irrigation check
Our Leak Detection Process
Five steps from the first sign of a leak to a dry, repaired line.
Step 1: Listen to the Symptoms
We ask what you have noticed — sounds of running water, warm floors, damp spots, a higher bill — and check the water meter with everything off to confirm there is a leak.
- Meter test
- History of the problem
- Fixtures checked
Step 2: Isolate the System
We separate hot from cold and inside from outside lines to narrow down which part of the plumbing is losing water.
- Hot vs cold
- Inside vs outside
- Pressure tested
Step 3: Pinpoint the Leak
Acoustic equipment, thermal imaging and moisture readings locate the leak to a small area, so only that spot needs to be opened.
- Acoustic listening
- Thermal imaging
- Moisture mapping
Step 4: Repair Options
We explain the choices — spot repair, rerouting the line or repiping a section — with a written price for each.
- Written prices
- Options compared
- You decide
Step 5: Repair & Verify
We make the repair, pressure test the line again and check the meter to confirm the leak has stopped before we leave.
- Pressure retested
- Meter confirmed
- Area cleaned up
