Leak Detection & Repair in Las Vegas

Find hidden leaks and repair them before they cause more damage.

About This Service

Not all leaks are obvious. A hidden leak inside a wall, above a ceiling, or underground in a yard or water line can waste water and cause damage long before you see it. The symptoms tell us where to look — not what's wrong — so we investigate and confirm the leak before recommending any repair. Once the location is confirmed, we repair it at its source. A leak under your home's concrete foundation is a slab leak and calls for its own approach, covered on our slab-leak services page. When leaks keep returning in an older system, whole-home repiping is often a better long-term answer than repeated repairs.

Common Warning Signs

  • Unexplained increase in your water bill
  • A water meter that keeps moving with every fixture shut off
  • The sound of running water when nothing's on
  • Wet spots, mold, or damp walls
  • Water stains or soft spots on walls, ceilings, or floors
  • Damp or musty odors in a room with no visible water
  • Warm spots on the floor (possible hot-water leak)

Why You May Need This Service

  • A pinhole leak in copper piping
  • A hidden joint or fitting failure
  • An underground line leak
  • A leaking fixture, valve, or supply connection that goes unnoticed
  • A slab leak under the foundation
  • Aging piping that has developed several small leaks

Our Professional Approach

We use electronic and thermal detection to narrow down the leak's location, then confirm it before recommending the least invasive repair that solves the problem and helps prevent recurrence.

How We Investigate a Leak

Symptoms narrow down where to look. They don't confirm what's wrong — the investigation is what does:

  1. 1We go through the symptoms with you. We start with what you've noticed — the bill, the sound, the damp spot — and check the obvious causes first, such as a running toilet, a fixture leaking where it's visible, or an irrigation line running longer than it should.
  2. 2We isolate the plumbing from everything else. We shut off the fixtures and appliances that use water and see whether the system still loses water or the meter still moves. That separates a plumbing leak from a leak elsewhere on the property and tells us whether the loss is on the supply side or the drain side.
  3. 3We narrow down the location. Once the leak is confirmed, we narrow down where it is — working along the lines and checking how the leak behaves through walls, floors, and the yard, without opening anything up first.
  4. 4We explain what we found and the repair options. We tell you where the leak is, what's causing it, and what the repair involves — including what it will cost — before any work begins. If we can't confirm a leak, we'll tell you that too, and explain what the symptoms might point to instead.

What Affects the Cost

Leak detection and repair is priced for your specific situation rather than at a flat rate. The factors are:

  • How well the leak is hidden — a leak at a visible fixture is a different job from one behind a wall, under a floor, or underground in the yard.
  • Access — how much has to be opened to reach the plumbing once the location is confirmed, and what sits above or around it.
  • How far the investigation has to go — a single suspected area is a different job from tracking a water loss across a whole property.
  • The repair the leak needs — an isolated fitting or section is a different job from a line that's failing in several places or needs to be replaced.
  • Whether a slab leak is involved — a leak under a concrete foundation involves its own planning, which our slab-leak services page explains.

We confirm what the job involves on site and explain the pricing before any work begins.
