Find Hidden Leaks Without Unnecessary Property Damage

Some leaks develop in systems that can’t be assessed through a routine plumbing inspection. American Leak Detection of Northern Colorado provides Other Residential Leak Services for Longmont homes, using non-invasive methods to evaluate specialty systems and difficult-to-access locations.

We locate leaks beneath slabs and basement floors, within walls and ceilings, and in buried lines where direct access could cause unnecessary disruption.

Call (877) 731-9643 to discuss the location, system, or warning signs involved and arrange residential leak detection.

Detection for Specialty Residential Systems

Water can escape from more than a visible pipe or fixture. We evaluate the system and surrounding conditions before selecting equipment suited to the investigation.

Our other residential leak services include:

Outdoor water lines and water systems
Well lines, water service lines, and water main lines
Leaks beneath slabs and basement floors
Leaks within walls and ceilings
Boiler, radiant, and other hydronic heating systems
Irrigation and fire suppression systems
Compressed-air systems
Natural gas, propane, and sewer-odor concerns

Non-Invasive Leak Detection in Longmont

With more than 40 years of industry experience, we operate as The Original Leak Specialist™. We use advanced equipment and non-invasive methods to locate hidden leaks while minimizing property damage. The method depends on the system, its location, and the surrounding materials.

Our technicians complete rigorous training in leak detection methods. They arrive on time, complete the project within the provided time frame, and leave the premises clean. Homeowners receive a clear, professional process from the initial visit through the completed investigation.

Infrared Detection for Concealed Leaks

Infrared leak detection uses thermal imaging to identify temperature differences between water and surrounding structural materials. This technology allows our technicians to investigate concealed conditions without immediately opening a wall, ceiling, or floor.

We use infrared equipment to evaluate heat loss, electrical hot spots, and inadequate insulation. Our services cover boiler, radiant, slab, in-floor, and other hydronic systems that circulate heated water through pipes or tubing.

This method has practical limitations. Materials that don’t conduct temperature changes well can reduce image clarity or accuracy. Our technicians account for those conditions when deciding whether infrared equipment or another detection method is appropriate.

Utility Location & Video Sewer Inspection

Hidden lines can complicate leak investigations, digging, and construction work. Our utility location service identifies concealed water, sewer, and gas lines as well as other utilities around a residential property.

We can locate underground and concealed components such as:

Septic lines and tanks
Valve boxes and curb stops
Electrical and phone lines
Water, sewer, and gas lines

We also offer sewer cameras for video inspection. A camera provides a view inside accessible piping, while acoustic listening devices can identify sounds associated with escaping water. Ground-penetrating radar can locate subsurface features and support sewer investigations without digging solely to search for the problem.

Irrigation & Buried Water Line Detection

Our technicians detect leaks in sprinkler lines and other irrigation systems. Because these systems can extend across a property and include buried components, water loss may not be visible at the surface. We focus on identifying the likely source without excavating the entire line.

We also evaluate outdoor water systems, service lines, main lines, and wells. The appropriate method depends on access, line material, system layout, and conditions during the appointment.

Fire Suppression, Compressed-Air & Odor Detection

Our residential service scope includes fire suppression lines and systems as well as compressed-air systems. These installations require system-specific evaluation when the affected line is concealed, pressurized, or difficult to access directly.

We also detect natural gas and propane leaks, along with sewer-odor concerns. When the source isn’t visible, our technicians evaluate the relevant system and select methods suited to the type of line and available evidence.

"Odor"
“Thank you for your honest feedback on our situation. We were given completely different advice (and very pricey) by another company. This is a solid company, with exemplary staff! I wish there were more companies out there like you. Thank You”

- Jessica C
"Thank you Becca"
“I had a great conversation with Becca at the Firestone, CO location about a suspected leak in my house. She was straight forward about what a trip charge would be, and offered to help me figure out if I even needed someone to come out. She explained what I might be hearing and we discussed various things it may be, until I felt confident that it was most likely confined inside the pipes but to call if I see evidence of wet drywall later. She also explained exactly how they would find a leak with minimal wall damage if I needed it later. I will definitely refer this company to all of my friends and family! They are lucky to have such a great employee as Becca!”

- Karen M
"American Leak Detection has several times identified the buried pool piping leak location!"
“Due to our severe winters, we don't open our apartment complex pool In Longmont until just prior to Memorial Day, only to discover we are losing large amounts of water. American Leak Detection has several times identified the buried pool piping leak location to just a two-foot square so we were able to have an economical repair. We will never use search and destroy methods to locate swimming pool leaks again.”

- Ervin Q.
"What a relief to solve the mystery."
“We came home to find our basement flooded without a visible cause. Our insurance company had an engineer from American Leak Detection investigate the cause of the water damage in our home in Boulder and he electronically located a leak on our sprinkler line. What a relief to solve the mystery.”

- Barb A.
