Colorado Leak Detection Projects & Field Results

What Our Field Results Show

It’s always rewarding to see the results of our leak detection work in action! While we may not always be present when plumbers or excavators perform the necessary repairs, the photos and videos from our customers provide a glimpse of the impact of our investigations.

At Subsurface Leak Detection of Colorado, our mission is to efficiently locate and pinpoint leaks, ensuring that the right steps are taken to resolve water-related issues. We take pride in our work, and these images and videos serve as a testament to our commitment to providing top-notch leak detection services.

If you have a water leak issue in Colorado Springs, Denver Metro, or the surrounding areas, don’t hesitate to contact us at Colorado Springs (719) 749-6850 Denver Metro (303) 520-0778

Here’s a collection of some of the photos and videos we’ve received from the field before and after leaks were exposed, showcasing the value of our leak detection services.

Each project begins with a specific question: where is water being lost, which system is involved and what evidence will help the repair team act efficiently? The examples below show how focused diagnostics can reduce guesswork and support targeted repairs.

Documented Leak Locations and Repair Planning

Field photographs are useful when they show the relationship between the marked location, the repair opening and the confirmed failure. We publish selected examples with permission and avoid presenting a single result as proof that every property will behave the same way.

Our findings are delivered in practical terms so plumbers, excavators, property managers and owners can plan the next step around the most likely location and system condition.

Manufactured-Home Community Water Conservation

Larger conservation assignments may combine system mapping, acoustic surveys, meter data and follow-up testing across multiple buildings or distribution zones.

RHP Communities, the largest private operator of manufactured home communities in the United States, has made a significant investment in water conservation initiatives across its nationwide portfolio. Subsurface Leak Detection has been a trusted partner in this effort, supporting leak detection projects in Colorado, Wisconsin, Kansas, Texas, and Indiana.

Our team has successfully identified major system leaks across multiple communities, resulting in substantial reductions in non-revenue water loss. Most recently, Subsurface Leak Detection located a critical failure that reduced water loss from an estimated 80% down to approximately 20%, creating an immediate and measurable impact on conservation outcomes. These results demonstrate the value of effective technical partnerships focused on real-world water savings.

While Subsurface Leak Detection specializes in all types of residential, commercial, and municipal leak detection, manufactured home communities—because of their unique infrastructure, private utility systems, and complex distribution networks—have become a distinct area of expertise and a recognized specialty within our firm.

These programs help property teams prioritize repairs, verify suspected loss areas and track where additional testing or maintenance is needed.

Campus and Community Water-Conservation Work

Subsurface Leak Detection has partnered with Martin & Martin, a leading civil engineering firm, to support the University of Colorado Boulder’s water conservation initiatives. As part of this effort, Artisan Consulting is conducting a comprehensive, campus-wide water survey focused on the older portions of the underground infrastructure to identify active and concealed leaks.

This large-scale investigation is being performed primarily using advanced acoustic leak detection technologies, allowing for non-invasive assessment across extensive and complex systems. As with many aging—or historically developed—campus utilities, limited documentation exists regarding underground routing and conditions, creating challenges that require a specialized, experienced team.

This project represents exactly the type of complex subsurface environment where Artisan Consulting’s technical capabilities, investigative methodology, and field expertise deliver the greatest value.

Campus work requires careful coordination around occupied buildings, older infrastructure, site access and incomplete utility records.

Residential and Commercial Leak Finds

The galleries show a range of residential, commercial and utility investigations, including the evidence available before excavation and the conditions found during repair.

Underground and Building Leak Gallery

Results vary with pipe material, depth, pressure, access, soil and building conditions. The project images illustrate completed work; they are not a promise of identical results.
