The problem

Hidden leaks don't announce themselves.

Most leaks don't announce themselves with a puddle. They whisper — a water bill that climbs for no reason, a warm patch on the floor, the faint sound of running water when every tap is off, a musty smell that won't quit. By the time the damage is visible, the leak has been running for weeks or months, eroding soil under your slab, feeding mold inside your walls, or saturating the insulation above your ceiling.

Finding the source — not just the symptom — is a specialized discipline. It takes different equipment, different training, and a different mindset than repair plumbing. That's all we do.

Water travels. A stain on your ceiling rarely sits directly below the leak — water follows framing, pipes, and gravity until it finds a place to show itself. A soggy patch in the yard can sit yards from the actual pipe break. And the pipes themselves are buried: under concrete slabs, inside wall cavities, beneath soil and driveways.

Guessing means destruction — exploratory demolition, trenches across the yard, ceilings opened on hunches. Detection means evidence: pressure readings that prove which line leaks, acoustic sensors that hear the leak through concrete, thermal cameras that see its heat signature, tracer gas that surfaces directly above the break. Four methods, one marked location, zero guesswork.

Services

Every hiding place, covered.

Fifteen specialized diagnostic services — each with its own methods, process, and honest limits.

Residential

Slab Leak Detection

A slab leak is a water leak in the pipes buried beneath your home's concrete foundation — and in Sandy, they're one of the most common hidden leaks we…

Residential

Main Water Line Leak Detection

The water service line — the pipe running from Sandy City's meter vault to your home — is your responsibility as the homeowner, and when it leaks unde…

Residential

Basement Water Leak Detection

Water in a basement is a diagnostic puzzle, not a foregone conclusion. It could be a leaking supply or drain line inside the wall — or it could be gro…

Residential

Drain & Sewer Leak Detection

Drain and sewer problems hide in the one part of your plumbing you never see — until the symptoms surface: a persistent sewer odor, a drain that gurgl…

Residential

Swimming Pool Leak Detection

Many Sandy homes have pools, and Utah's dry climate makes every pool lose water to evaporation — which is exactly why real leaks get missed for months…

Residential

Natural Gas Line Leak Detection

A suspected gas leak is the one leak you never investigate yourself. If you smell gas — the rotten-egg odor of mercaptan — or hear hissing near a gas …

Heating

Heating System Leak Detection

Most Utah homes heat with forced air — but the homes with hydronic or radiant floor heating, and the ones with boilers, face a problem forced-air home…

Technology

Acoustic & Electronic Leak Detection

Pressurized water escaping through a pinhole makes a sound — a high-frequency hiss, too faint for human ears through concrete and soil, but unmistakab…

Technology

Thermal Imaging & Infrared Scanning

An infrared camera doesn't see water — it sees temperature. And that distinction is exactly what makes it powerful: a hot-water leak paints a warm plu…

Technology

Tracer Gas Leak Detection

Some leaks defeat every other method: too deep for clear acoustic readings, in plastic pipe that doesn't carry sound, or under conditions where therma…

Technology

Video Camera Pipe Inspection

There's no substitute for seeing inside the pipe. A video camera inspection sends a high-resolution camera through your sewer or drain line, showing e…

Technology

Static & Hydrostatic Pressure Testing

Before you hunt for a leak, you prove there is one — and pressure testing is how. Static testing pressurizes the water-supply side and watches for gau…

Commercial

Flat Roof Moisture Surveys

A flat roof rarely fails all at once — it fails slowly, as water infiltrates the membrane and saturates the insulation beneath, invisibly, for years. …

Commercial

Building Envelope Water Testing

When water gets into a building through the envelope — windows, curtain walls, facades, exterior walls — the damage hides inside assemblies for years:…

Commercial

Fire Sprinkler Leak Detection

A leaking fire sprinkler system is a special kind of problem: the pipes are often hidden above ceilings or buried underground, the water is stagnant a…

Technology

Find the source. Not just the symptom.

Five technologies, one principle: prove it before anyone cuts, digs, or opens anything.

Acoustic & Electronic Listening

Pressurized leaks make a high-frequency sound. Electronic sensors amplify and triangulate it through slab, soil, and walls.

Thermal Imaging & Infrared

Infrared cameras read the temperature patterns leaks create — heat plumes, evaporative cooling — verified with moisture meters.

Tracer Gas Detection

A safe nitrogen-hydrogen blend introduced into the isolated line surfaces directly above the break — for leaks nothing else can hear.

Video Camera Inspection

High-resolution cameras travel inside drain and sewer lines, showing roots, cracks, and breaks — located from the surface.

Pressure Testing

Static tests for supply lines, hydrostatic for drains. The decisive proof of which half of your plumbing is sound.

How our technology works →

Process

A 4-step process built on evidence.

01

Confirm

Pressure testing proves a leak exists and narrows it to a zone — before any location work begins.

02

Narrow

Acoustic listening, thermal imaging, or tracer gas converges on the leak's position from independent angles.

03

Mark

The location is marked on the surface, photographed, and documented with readings.

04

Hand off

You get a written report for your repair contractor — targeted repair, not exploratory demolition.

Why us

A diagnostic company — not a plumber with a side hustle.

Finding a hidden leak and fixing a leak are two different jobs. We do the first, exclusively — with equipment most repair plumbers don't carry and a process built around proof, not hunches. No fabricated reviews, no invented credentials. Just a marked location, documented evidence, and an honest account of what we found.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?

The classic signs: a water bill that jumps with no change in usage, your water meter running when everything is off, warm spots on floors, the sound of running water with no taps open, damp or musty areas, and water pooling where it hasn't rained. Any two together merit an investigation.

How do you detect leaks without tearing up my home?

We combine pressure testing (to prove which line leaks), acoustic listening (to hear it), thermal imaging (to see its heat pattern), and tracer gas (for the stubborn ones). The methods cross-check each other, so we mark a location based on converging evidence — no exploratory demolition.

Are you available in an emergency?

Yes — we're open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you suspect an active gas leak, evacuate and call 911 and Dominion Energy first; for water emergencies, call us any time at (801) 515-0531.

Do you repair the leak after finding it?

We specialize in detection and diagnosis — finding the exact source. Repairs are performed by licensed plumbers and contractors, and we hand them a marked location and written report so the fix is surgical, not exploratory.

How much does leak detection cost in Sandy?

Every situation differs — the system size, the methods needed, and access all matter. What we can tell you: local Salt Lake Valley providers typically publish detection ranges in the low-to-mid hundreds, and reputable ones credit the detection work toward the repair. Call (801) 515-0531 and describe your symptoms for a straight answer about your situation.
