Leak Detection & Repair

Hidden leaks found and fixed before they become costly damage.

Leak Detection & Repair performed by Rocky Mtn Plumbing in Box Elder County, UT

Not every leak announces itself with a puddle. A pinhole in a copper line behind a wall, a slab leak under the foundation, or a slow drip in a crawlspace can run for weeks before it's noticed — by which point flooring, drywall, or framing may already be damaged. We use a combination of visual inspection, moisture meters, and acoustic listening equipment to narrow down the source, then make a targeted repair rather than tearing open walls on a guess.

Signs You Need Leak Detection & Repair

  • An unexplained spike in the water bill with no change in usage.
  • The sound of running water when nothing is turned on.
  • A warm or damp spot on the floor, or buckling/peeling flooring.
  • Mildew smell, wall discoloration, or paint bubbling.
  • The water meter keeps moving when all fixtures are off.

How We Approach It

Credentials: Dennis is a Utah Licensed Master Plumber — the same licensed pro who pinpoints the leak is the one who makes the repair.

  1. 1Start with the meter to confirm a leak exists and roughly how large it is.
  2. 2Isolate fixtures and zones to narrow the leak to a section of the home.
  3. 3Use acoustic and moisture-sensing tools to pinpoint the leak through the wall, slab, or underground — minimizing what we have to open.
  4. 4Make a clean repair at the source, restore the line, and advise on any related damage to address.

Pricing & Honesty

Leak detection is billed as a focused diagnostic with a flat rate, and that work is credited toward the repair if we go ahead. You'll know the detection cost and the repair cost as separate, clear numbers before any walls are opened.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you find a leak behind a wall or under a slab?

We start with the water meter to confirm a leak exists, isolate zones to narrow it down, then use acoustic listening and moisture-sensing tools to pinpoint the source through the wall, slab, or underground — so we open as little as possible.

What are the signs of a hidden leak?

Common signs are an unexplained spike in the water bill, the sound of running water when nothing's on, a warm or damp spot on the floor, mildew smell, or a water meter that keeps moving with all fixtures off.

Do you repair the leak once you find it?

Yes. The same licensed pro who pinpoints the leak makes the repair at the source, so there's no hand-off to a second crew. You'll know the detection cost and the repair cost as separate numbers before any walls are opened.
