Denver leak detection for homes, businesses & water systems

Find the Leak Before Denver Repairs Begin

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

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

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

Denver leak detection services

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 Denver 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 Denver’s Mix of Properties

Denver’s plumbing and property conditions vary block by block. Homes in Capitol Hill, Congress Park, Washington Park, Park Hill and Highland may include aging service lines, decades of modifications and previous repairs. Downtown, Central Park, Green Valley Ranch and newer multifamily or commercial developments may involve shared meters, longer buried lines and complex system routing.

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

Useful Denver Water information

Know Who Owns the Line—and What Comes After Repair

Responsibility: Denver Water states that it repairs leaks on its mains and meters. Property owners are responsible for the service line running from the main into the building.

Meter evidence: Meter behavior and shutoff testing can help distinguish an interior problem from a leak on the underground service line.

Possible bill adjustment: After a qualifying leak is repaired, Denver Water customers may be eligible for an adjustment. Current rules require proof of repair and an application within 12 months; eligibility remains Denver Water’s decision.

Verify current eligibility directly with Denver Water.

Evidence before excavation

How We Approach a Denver 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 Denver customers ask

Denver Leak Detection FAQ

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

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.
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.
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.
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.
