You are shown where the leak is, what likely caused it and what your repair options are.
One call covers every kind of leak, from a hot spot on the floor to a pool that keeps losing water.
Pinpoint leaks in water lines under your concrete slab with acoustic and thermal equipment, before any concrete is cut.
Hidden leaks in walls, ceilings and floors located without tearing the house apart.
Losing more water than evaporation explains? We test the shell, fittings and plumbing lines to find where it is going.
Leaks in the buried service line between the meter and your home traced and marked at the surface.
Broken sprinkler lines, stuck valves and drip system leaks found before they drain your water budget.
Camera inspection and testing to find cracked, separated or leaking sewer and drain lines.

Buckeye is one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, and almost every home here sits on a concrete slab. Water lines run under or through that slab, out of sight. When one of them leaks, the first sign is often a higher water bill, not a puddle.
The leaks we find most in Buckeye come from a short list of causes:
Knowing how homes are built in Verrado, Sundance, Tartesso, Westpark and older central Buckeye helps a technician narrow the search quickly, instead of guessing.
No single tool finds every leak. The method is matched to the pipe, the surface and the type of leak.
Sensitive ground microphones pick up the sound of water escaping a pressurized pipe under concrete or soil.
An infrared camera shows temperature differences left by hot water lines and damp building materials.
Lines are isolated and pressurized one section at a time to prove which one is losing pressure.
A safe, light gas is introduced into an empty line and detected at the surface where it escapes.
A waterproof camera travels through drain and sewer lines to show cracks, separations and root entry.
Dye shows leaks at fittings, lights and cracks. Pressure tests check the buried plumbing lines.
Most leaks give a warning before they do serious damage. These are the signs to act on.
Usage rises with no change in your routine. Often the first and only sign of a slab or yard leak.
A warm area on tile or under carpet can mean a hot water line is leaking under the slab.
A hiss or trickle inside walls or floors when every fixture is turned off.
Wet carpet, lifting laminate, dark grout lines or swollen baseboards with no obvious source.
Pressure drops across the house because water is escaping before it reaches the fixtures.
A wet strip, sunken area or unusually green patch along the path of a buried line.
A clear process, the same on every job.
Tell us what you are seeing. We schedule a visit that works for you.
The meter and system are tested to confirm a leak exists and which system it is on.
Acoustic, thermal and pressure equipment narrow the leak to a specific spot.
You see the findings and get clear repair options and pricing before any work.
What you can count on every time you call Leak Detection Buckeye.
You hear the price and approve it before any work starts. No surprise charges added at the end.
The leak is found with testing equipment first, so any access is limited to the right spot.
You are shown where the leak is, what likely caused it and what your repair options are, in plain language.
If a simple repair solves it, that is what we recommend. The decision is always yours.
A simple water meter test tells you whether to call. Here is how to do it.
If the meter stops when you close the main valve at the house, the leak is likely in the yard line. If it keeps moving, it is likely inside or under the home.
Buckeye sits in the far West Valley, where summer highs regularly pass 110 degrees and the ground bakes for months. Then monsoon storms, which officially run from June 15 through September 30, soak the same soil in minutes. That swing between dry and wet makes the ground move, and buried pipes move with it.
Water quality adds to the wear. Hard water leaves mineral scale inside lines and can speed up pinhole leaks in copper. Water heaters, softener loops, hose bibs and irrigation valves are common trouble spots.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, household leaks can waste nearly 10,000 gallons of water in an average home every year. In a desert city, finding a leak early protects both your water bill and your foundation.
Six habits that catch problems early in a desert climate.
A two-minute look at the leak indicator catches hidden leaks long before the bill does.
Compare each bill with the same month last year. A steady climb deserves a closer look.
Pressure above 80 psi strains pipes and fittings. A pressure regulator protects the whole house.
Mark the water line and compare it with a bucket test before assuming it is evaporation.
Run each zone and look for bubbling, pooling or heads that do not pop up.
Make sure everyone in the house knows where the main valve is and that it turns.
We serve every Buckeye neighborhood, including Verrado, Sundance, Tartesso, Sun City Festival, Westpark and central Buckeye, plus nearby Goodyear, Litchfield Park and Tonopah.
Leak detection is the process of finding the exact location of a water leak that cannot be seen, such as a leak under a concrete slab, inside a wall, in a buried yard line or in a pool. It uses equipment such as acoustic listening devices, thermal cameras and pressure tests, so the repair can be made with as little damage as possible.
Common signs are a water bill that rises without explanation, a water meter that moves when all water is off, warm spots on the floor, the sound of running water, damp flooring or walls, and soggy areas in the yard.
Service is focused on Buckeye, so travel time is short. Same-day appointments are often available, and active leaks get priority. Call for current availability.
No. The leak is located from the surface with acoustic and thermal equipment and pressure testing. Concrete is only opened if you choose a repair that requires it, and then only at the marked spot.
Yes. That covers central and south Buckeye as well as Verrado, Tartesso and Sun City Festival to the north. We also serve nearby Goodyear, Litchfield Park and Tonopah.
In the Buckeye heat, pools lose water every day to evaporation. A bucket test compares pool loss with evaporation from a bucket of water over 24 hours. If the pool drops noticeably more than the bucket, a leak is likely.
In general, the property owner is responsible for everything on the house side of the water meter. Leaks on the street side of the meter belong to the water utility and should be reported to them.
Coverage depends on your policy. Many policies cover sudden water damage and the cost of accessing the pipe, but not the pipe repair itself or damage from a long-term leak. Check with your agent.
Yes. Once the leak is located you receive repair options, which may include a spot repair, rerouting the line or replacing a section. You decide how to proceed.
Yes. We work with retail centers, offices, restaurants, HOAs and multi-unit properties in Buckeye.
