Leak Detection
Whole-property hidden leak surveys using acoustic sensors, thermal imaging, and pressure testing to pinpoint any concealed water leak fast.
A hidden water leak rarely announces itself. It shows up as a spiking bill, a warm patch of floor, or a stain that keeps growing. We find the exact source with acoustic sensors and thermal imaging — pinpointed within inches, with no tearing your home apart to look for it.
Open now — calls answered 24/7, every day of the year.
Broomfield Leak Detection Pros is a leak-first service for Broomfield, Colorado. We do one thing and we do it precisely: we locate hidden water leaks. Acoustic sensors hear what ears cannot. Thermal imaging cameras see temperature differences behind walls and under slabs. Pressure tests prove which line is losing water. Moisture meters map exactly how far dampness has spread.
That matters because most water damage does not come from the leak you can see. It comes from the months a hidden leak runs before anyone finds it. A pinhole supply leak inside a wall cavity can waste hundreds of gallons a day while the drywall still looks fine. Our job is to find that leak within inches, mark the exact spot, and hand you documented readings — so whoever does the repair opens the smallest possible hole, not the whole wall.
From slab leaks under concrete to pinhole leaks inside walls, from spinning meters to soggy sprinkler zones — each service below is a dedicated diagnostic specialty with its own equipment and process. Acoustic sensors detect pressurized leak sounds. Thermal cameras reveal hidden temperature anomalies. Pressure tests prove the diagnosis.
Whole-property hidden leak surveys using acoustic sensors, thermal imaging, and pressure testing to pinpoint any concealed water leak fast.
Thermal hot-spot surveys and acoustic pinpointing find under-slab supply leaks within inches, so repairs open one small area — not the floor.
Pressurized-line testing and non-invasive whole-home audits with documented readings that support insurance claims and repair planning.
Bill-spike investigations trace sudden usage jumps to the exact fixture or line, so you stop paying for water that never reaches a tap.
Pressure testing plus line locating marks the exact break between curb and house, keeping excavation to the smallest possible dig.
Listening discs and moisture mapping trace in-wall pipe leaks to the exact stud bay before a single square of drywall comes down.
Office, retail, and multi-unit leak surveys that work around your operations, tracking supply breaks without disrupting the workday.
Pressure testing and underwater acoustic surveys separate structural leaks from plumbing leaks, then pinpoint the failing fitting or line.
Every visit follows the same disciplined sequence. No wandering with a flashlight, no exploratory demolition — just a methodical narrowing of possibilities until the leak has nowhere left to hide.
We start with what you have noticed — the bill spike, the warm floor, the sound in the wall — and check the meter for continuous flow. Your observations tell us where the instruments should look first.
Pressure tests and zone-by-zone shutoffs divide the plumbing into sections. Each test eliminates whole branches at once, so the search area shrinks fast instead of growing.
Acoustic sensors, thermal cameras, and moisture meters converge on the exact point. We cross-check with at least two independent readings before calling it found.
The spot gets marked, readings get recorded, and you get a clear written summary with photos — everything your repair contractor or insurer needs, and nothing they don't.
Most plumbing companies find leaks by opening things up and looking. We find leaks by listening, scanning, and testing — and we have spent 25 years refining exactly that. The result is a different kind of visit: quieter, cleaner, faster, and documented.
A hidden leak is a measurement problem, and measurement is all we do. Acoustic sensors detect the hiss of pressurized water escaping. Thermal cameras reveal the heat signature of a hot-line break under tile. Pressure decay tests prove a line is losing water even when nothing looks wet. When those instruments agree, the leak is found — usually within inches, usually in a single visit, and usually without opening anything larger than necessary.
Drag the handle. On the left: months of slow ceiling damage from a leak nobody could find. On the right: the same ceiling after the source was pinpointed within inches and repaired through one small opening — not a demolished room.
Precision at the detection stage decides everything downstream. A leak located within inches means a repair measured in hours and a patch measured in square feet — instead of days of exploratory demolition.
Burst pipe, flooding slab leak, water pouring through a ceiling — don't wait for it to get worse. Our emergency line is answered 24/7, and our technicians carry the full acoustic and thermal kit on every truck, so diagnosis starts the moment we walk in. See our emergency leak services.

Direct answers to the questions Broomfield homeowners ask us most — including the mobile-style ones people ask at 2 a.m. with water where it shouldn't be.
We press acoustic listening discs against the wall surface and scan with a thermal imaging camera. A pressurized leak makes a distinct hissing sound that the discs pick up, and the camera shows the temperature difference where water is spreading. When both point to the same stud bay, we mark it — usually within inches, with no drywall removed.
Not always, but it is the most common cause of a sudden spike. A running toilet, a weeping pressure relief valve, or a cracked irrigation lateral can waste hundreds of gallons a day silently. We check the meter for continuous flow first — if the leak indicator moves with everything off, water is going somewhere, and our pressure tests find where.
Yes. We test at the meter and the curb stop to isolate your private service line from the utility side. If the leak is on the City of Broomfield's side of the meter, we document that for you. If it is on your side — between the curb stop and your foundation — we pinpoint the exact location.
We answer calls 24/7 and our emergency arrival time across Broomfield is 30–45 minutes. Call (720) 715-9734 any time — nights, weekends, and holidays included.
Yes. We serve all of Broomfield including the 80020, 80021, 80023, and 80038 ZIP codes. Our shop sits right in 80020 at 1798 W 6th Ave, so most calls in the area are a short drive.
Our itemized digital reports include pressure readings, moisture measurements, and photos of the pinpointed source, delivered within 24 hours. Customers regularly tell us the documentation made their claim process straightforward. Coverage decisions always rest with your insurer.
Then we tell you that, plainly. Condensation, exterior drainage, and groundwater can all mimic a pressurized leak. Our instruments distinguish an active pipe rupture from moisture coming from elsewhere — and an honest "no leak" verdict has saved many customers a repair they never needed.
Yes — Broomfield sees burst-pipe surges whenever temperatures drop below about 20°F, and early freezes have caught homeowners off guard before winterizing. Pipes in attics, crawl spaces, and exterior walls are most at risk. If a freeze leaves you with no water or a sudden leak, call us any time.
