Same-day leak detection available in Boulder, CO for anything that is actively leaking or backing up.
Leak detection in Boulder starts with a meter check and a pressure test, which tells us whether water is leaving the system at all and roughly how fast. Only then do the listening devices and thermal camera come out.
Every house handles leak detection a little differently depending on its age, and Boulder has plenty of both old and new. The fitting, the pipe material and the way the last plumber left it all change what the right repair is.
That is why the Boulder truck carries parts for more than one era of plumbing. The leak detection job gets finished on the first visit wherever it can be, because a second trip costs you a day and costs us the trust.
What happens from the first call to the final test.
Tell us what you are seeing, hearing or smelling. If water is actively running into the house, you get walked to your main shutoff before anything else is discussed.
Finding the real cause is what keeps the repair small. Opening one square foot of wall instead of twenty starts with knowing exactly where to open it.
If there is a cheaper option that will actually hold, you hear about it. If the cheap option is a patch that fails in six months, you hear that too.
The repair gets made with proper materials, pressure tested where the job allows, and checked in front of you before anything is closed back up.
The questions homeowners ask about this one.
It depends on what the diagnosis turns up, which is why you get a firm price for your leak detection job in Boulder before any work starts rather than an hourly rate that runs while you wait.
Anything actively leaking or backing up is treated as same-day in Boulder. Scheduled leak detection work is usually booked within two or three business days.
Drop cloths go down before anything starts, cuts are made as small and as clean as the leak detection job allows, and everything removed leaves with the truck when the Boulder work is done.
If the situation is urgent, yes — Boulder emergency calls are answered day and night, and the first priority is stopping the water before the leak detection repair is started.
Feedback from customers who had this work done.
"Water heater let go on a Sunday morning and flooded half the basement. Had someone here inside two hours, new tank in by afternoon, and he hauled the old one off. Price was what he said on the phone."
"Our water smelled like sulfur since we moved in. They tested it instead of guessing, put in the right filtration, and the smell was gone the same day."
"Ran a new gas line for the range and the dryer. Pulled the permit, passed inspection first try, and cleaned up the drill shavings in the utility room."
