Pressure that jumps and drops
A jump in pressure that comes and goes can point to a failing valve or a leak that opens and closes with demand. We test the line under pressure and listen along it to see where water is leaving.
Leak Detection and Slab Leak Repair in Colorado
Your water bill rose and nothing changed. A trickle runs in the wall at night, or a stripe of lawn stays soggy. Plumbers of Colorado traces the leak under a slab, inside a wall or ceiling or along the buried line.
Colorado houses leak for their own reasons. A pipe cracked by an early freeze, a supply line under a slab and a service line under the yard each leave a different clue, and we locate the leak before opening anything so the repair stays to a small patch of floor, wall or lawn.
Leak detection and repair services
A warm patch on a slab floor
Supply lines in or under a slab can leak against hot water pipe and warm the floor above. Sound-detection gear and line-by-line pressure tests narrow the search to a small patch.
Repair through the floor or a new route
We can cut a small square in the concrete, mend the pipe and patch it. If the same line has failed twice, a new one can be run overhead through the attic or walls, leaving the floor alone.
A stain, a soft wall or a wet lawn strip
Different clues lead to different pipes. A ceiling stain, a soft section of wall and a lawn stripe that never dries each have their own source, so we follow the one you have and replace only the section that failed.
Check the meter yourself
Your water meter can confirm a leak. With every tap closed and each water-using appliance off, a moving leak dial or rising digits mean water is getting out.
Finally, find the main valve on the supply pipe just inside the house and turn it off. The dial standing still tells you the trouble is in the house plumbing, whereas a dial that keeps turning tells you the buried yard line is losing water.
After a deep freeze
A pipe can crack in the cold and show nothing until the thaw. If the meter moves or a wall turns damp once temperatures rise, call before the drywall soaks it up.
When pipe after pipe starts to leak, the options are set out on our repiping and water lines page. The home page lists everything else we do.
