Why Early Leak Detection in Longmont Matters

Water leaks in your Longmont home can cause significant damage if left undetected. Even small leaks can waste thousands of gallons annually, leading to unnecessarily high water bills. More importantly, hidden leaks can cause structural damage, promote mold growth, and create health hazards for your family.

The Cost of Ignoring Leaks

  • Average water waste from leaks: 10,000+ gallons per year
  • Potential increase in water bills: Up to 30%
  • Structural repair costs: $1,000-$10,000+

Freezing Temperatures

Longmont’s winter temperatures regularly drop below freezing, causing pipes to expand and contract. This stress can create small cracks that develop into significant leaks when temperatures rise.

Aging Infrastructure

Many Longmont homes were built decades ago with plumbing materials that have reached the end of their lifespan. Copper pipes typically last 50+ years, while galvanized steel may fail after just 20 years.

High Water Pressure

Some Longmont neighborhoods experience water pressure above the recommended 40-60 PSI range. Excessive pressure strains connections and can cause premature pipe failure, especially at joints and fixtures.

Hard Water

Longmont’s water contains minerals that can build up inside pipes, causing corrosion and restricting water flow. Over time, this mineral buildup weakens pipes and creates conditions for leaks to develop.

Ground Shifting

Colorado’s clay soils expand and contract with moisture changes, causing ground movement that can damage underground pipes. This is especially problematic for slab foundations where pipes are embedded in concrete.

Poor Installation

Improper installation techniques or DIY repairs can create weak points in your plumbing system. Even small errors in pipe fitting can lead to significant leaks over time as connections loosen or materials degrade.

Signs You Need Leak Detection Services in Longmont

Many leaks occur in hidden areas like inside walls, under floors, or in your foundation. Recognizing these early warning signs can help you address leaks before they cause extensive damage to your Longmont home.

Mountain Valley Plumbing’s Advanced Leak Detection Technology

At Mountain Valley Plumbing, we invest in the latest leak detection equipment to provide Longmont homeowners with accurate, non-invasive leak detection services. Our advanced technology allows us to locate hidden leaks without unnecessary demolition or disruption to your home.

Acoustic Leak Detection

Our sensitive acoustic sensors can detect the unique sound frequencies of water escaping from pipes, even when hidden behind walls or under concrete. This technology allows us to pinpoint leak locations with minimal disruption to your home.

Thermal Imaging

Our infrared cameras detect temperature differences caused by water leaks, allowing us to visualize hidden moisture behind walls, under floors, and in ceilings. This technology is especially effective for finding leaks in difficult-to-access areas.

Video Pipe Inspection

Our high-resolution waterproof cameras can travel through your plumbing system to visually inspect pipes from the inside. This allows us to identify cracks, corrosion, blockages, and other issues that may be causing or contributing to leaks.

Frequently Asked Questions About Leak Detection

How do I know if I have a water leak?

Common signs of water leaks include unexplained increases in water bills, sounds of running water when fixtures aren’t in use, damp spots on walls or floors, mold growth, and reduced water pressure. If your water meter continues to run when all water sources are turned off, you likely have a leak that requires professional detection.

How long does leak detection take?

Most residential leak detection services in Longmont take 1-2 hours to complete, depending on the size of your home and the complexity of your plumbing system. For difficult-to-locate leaks or larger properties, the process may take longer. Our technicians will provide a time estimate before beginning the service.

Can you detect slab leaks without breaking concrete?

Yes, our advanced leak detection equipment allows us to locate slab leaks without destructive testing in most cases. Using acoustic sensors, thermal imaging, and other non-invasive technologies, we can pinpoint the exact location of leaks under your foundation. This minimizes the amount of concrete that needs to be removed for repairs.

How much does leak detection cost in Longmont?

Our standard leak detection service starts at $79, which includes a comprehensive assessment of your plumbing system using our advanced equipment. This fee is typically waived when you choose us for the repair work. For complex situations requiring extensive detection efforts, additional costs may apply. We always provide upfront pricing before beginning any work.
