Water Leak Detection in Salt Lake City, UT

The most expensive leak is the one you don't know about. A pinhole leak behind a wall or under a slab can run for weeks before you notice — by then, you're dealing with mold, structural damage, and a water bill that makes your eyes water. In Utah's dry climate, interior moisture problems are especially damaging because homes aren't built to handle excess humidity the way homes in wetter states are.

Our detection equipment locates leaks without demolition. We use acoustic sensors that amplify the sound of water escaping through pipe walls — audible to our equipment even through concrete slabs and drywall. For slab leaks specifically, we use electromagnetic pipe locators to trace the exact path of supply lines under your foundation, then isolate the leak to within a few inches. This precision means we only cut where we need to.

Slab leaks are one of the most common leak types we handle in Northern Utah. Homes built on concrete foundations in the 60s, 70s, and 80s — especially in Murray, Midvale, Sandy, and West Valley — often have copper supply lines running through or under the slab. Over time, contact with the concrete causes electrolysis, and the copper develops pinhole leaks. If caught early, we can reroute the line above the slab and abandon the underground section — avoiding the cost of jackhammering.

Slab leaks (supply lines under concrete foundations), wall leaks (pinhole leaks in concealed pipes), underground water main leaks (between the meter and your home), irrigation system leaks, and toilet and fixture supply line leaks. The approach is different for each — we use the right detection method for the situation, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
