You know something is wrong. The water bill is up, the meter keeps spinning, or there’s a damp spot that won’t dry. But where is the water coming from? Haining’s leak detection service in Grand Junction finds hidden leaks in walls, under floors, beneath concrete slabs, and along underground water lines, so the repair is targeted and your home isn’t torn apart on a guess.
Leak detection is the first step. Once we know exactly where the leak is, our plumbers can move straight into pipe and water leak repair or slab leak repair.
Finding a leak without the right tools usually means opening walls, pulling up flooring, or digging trenches in the hope of getting lucky. That costs time and money, and it creates repairs of its own. Professional leak detection replaces that guesswork with a targeted search.
How Professional Leak Detection Works
Every visit follows the same basic process:
- Confirm the leak: we check your water meter and system pressure to confirm water is escaping and estimate how much
- Narrow it down: we isolate sections of your plumbing to find out which line or area is losing water
- Pinpoint the source: we use specialized equipment to locate the leak as precisely as possible
- Explain the findings: we show you where the leak is, what likely caused it, and your repair options
Because we pinpoint the leak first, any access opening is as small as possible, and you only pay to repair what’s actually damaged.
If we find more than one leak, or the pipe around the leak is in poor condition, we’ll tell you. That information helps you decide between a single repair and a longer-term fix.
Signs You May Have a Hidden Leak
Schedule leak detection if you notice:
- Low water pressure
- A water bill that’s higher than usual with no change in use
- A water meter that moves when all water is off
- Warm spots on floors, which can point to a hot water slab leak
- Damp, stained, or bubbling walls and ceilings
- Mold, mildew, or a musty smell
- The sound of running water with nothing turned on
