Aurora leak detection for homes, businesses & water systems

Find the Leak Before Aurora Repairs Begin

Independent leak detection for hidden plumbing, slab, underground water-line, irrigation, sewer-odor, commercial-system and water-intrusion problems throughout Aurora.

Start with evidence—not demolition. We narrow the most probable source before walls, floors, concrete or landscaping are unnecessarily disturbed.

Serving Aurora neighborhoods, commercial properties, HOAs, campuses and private water systems.

Professional Leak Detection for the Whole Property

From hidden plumbing leaks at home to water loss across commercial properties and shared systems, our services make it easy to identify the right investigation for the problem.

Residential Leak Detection

For unexplained water use, moisture or pressure loss in Aurora homes.

Commercial Leak Detection

For owners, facility teams and property managers who need answers before disruption spreads.

Municipal, HOA & Private Systems

For larger distribution networks where survey planning matters as much as the equipment.

Smoke Testing & Sewer Services

For sewer gas odors, concealed drain or vent defects and difficult sewer-system questions.

Water Intrusion & Building Leaks

For moisture that may be entering through the building envelope or traveling from an unknown source.

Local conditions matter

Leak Detection Built for Aurora’s Mix of Properties

Leak detection in Aurora requires experience with a wide range of plumbing systems and property types. Aurora extends across Arapahoe, Adams, and Douglas counties and includes established neighborhoods, large commercial districts, multifamily communities, and newer residential developments. Because the city has expanded through many different periods of construction, pipe materials, plumbing layouts, and water-service configurations can vary considerably from one property to another.

In older Aurora neighborhoods, leak investigations may involve aging water-service lines, concealed plumbing, slab leaks, and difficult-to-trace piping. Newer developments may present different challenges, including long underground service lines, complex irrigation systems, modern slab construction, and shared infrastructure serving HOAs or multifamily properties. Commercial and municipal properties can also contain larger water mains, fire-service lines, extensive distribution networks, and multiple buildings connected to a shared meter.

Accurate leak detection is especially important in a region where water conservation remains a significant concern. Aurora uses digital water meters that can identify continuous or unusual water consumption, but a meter cannot determine exactly where the water is escaping. Specialized testing is often needed to separate plumbing leaks from irrigation use, running fixtures, service-line failures, or shared-system water loss.

Every investigation is tailored to the property. We review meter behavior, shutoffs, pressure, pipe material, layout, symptoms and access before selecting the testing method.

Local water-system context

Know Who Owns the Line—and What Comes After Repair

Before scheduling: Review the meter, available shutoffs, irrigation controls and any utility notice or consumption history.

Responsibility varies: Confirm the serving utility and the responsible line segment before authorizing repair.

After testing: We explain which system was evaluated, where the evidence points and what the repair contractor needs next.

Bring recent usage history, utility notices and prior repair information when available.

Evidence before excavation

How We Approach a Aurora Leak Investigation

Different symptoms require different tests. We narrow the system first, then apply the technology that can produce useful evidence under the actual conditions.

1. Define the Problem

Confirm the active symptom, review water use and separate plumbing, irrigation, sewer, exterior water and groundwater possibilities.

2. Isolate the System

Use shutoffs, valves, pressure behavior, plans and accessible connection points to reduce the area that needs testing.

3. Select the Method

Choose acoustic, correlation, tracer gas, thermal, moisture, EM, GPR, smoke or camera methods according to the system.

4. Mark the Evidence

Identify the strongest supported probable area or pathway and explain important limitations before repair begins.

5. Explain the Next Step

Communicate findings in practical terms and provide documentation when the owner, manager, contractor or insurer needs it.

6. Keep Repair Independent

Our diagnostic role is separate from selling the repair scope, helping the owner choose the appropriate qualified contractor.

Questions Aurora customers ask

Aurora Leak Detection FAQ

Clear answers help homeowners, property managers and facility teams choose the right next step.

Can you determine whether the problem is plumbing, irrigation, or groundwater?

In many cases, yes. We evaluate meter activity, system pressure, shutoff-valve behavior, moisture patterns, irrigation controls, and site conditions to help distinguish between plumbing loss, irrigation leakage, drainage problems, groundwater, and exterior water intrusion. Complex properties may require separate testing of individual systems.

Do you provide sewer leak detection and smoke testing?

Yes. We investigate sewer odors, suspected drain-system leaks, failed connections, and concealed openings using sewer-camera inspections, smoke testing, and other diagnostic methods. Smoke testing can be especially useful when odors are intermittent or the defective connection is hidden behind a wall, beneath a cabinet, or in another concealed area.

Do you repair the leaks you locate?

Subsurface Leak Detection of Colorado specializes in independent diagnostics and leak location. By focusing on investigation rather than selling the repair, we can provide an unbiased assessment of the suspected source and recommended next steps. Once the investigation is complete, the findings can be provided to the qualified plumber, excavation contractor, or restoration professional of your choice.

Do you provide a written report?

Written documentation is available and may include the systems tested, methods used, observed conditions, findings, suspected leak location, photographs, and recommended next steps. Reports are particularly helpful for property managers, HOAs, commercial owners, contractors, and insurance-related investigations.
