What Causes Water Leaks?
Leaks can waste your water and money. Not only that, it can damage your home and property. This could encourage the growth of mold and mildew making your house damp, smelly, and unsanitary. An incessant leak might cause a dripping noise that you notice, but there are other times when you’ll be unsure if you have one. Here are some of the main causes:
- Clogged pipes or lines: If you have a blockage in your drains that is a nuisance, prepare to deal with even more issues if you fail to treat it. These clogs can lead to overflowing or burst pipes.
- Corrosion: The older your plumber gets, the more wear and tear it experiences. Rust, sediment build-up, and the use of chemical cleaners can all damage the integrity of your pipes leading to cracks and leaks.
- Tree Roots: Once a tree root invades your pipes, it can open up spaces and cracks for water to leak through. This becomes a serious problem.
- Temperature Fluctuations: Changes in temperature and conditions outside can cause the soil to move. This means your pipes will move too which could cause a strain that cracks or damages your pipes.
How Do We Detect Leaks?
There are many techniques that are available to our professionals to get to the bottom of your plumbing problems. Finding a leak used to be difficult, but working with a professional plumber can make the process easy. We use proven, drain-safe methods to ensure an accurate result without any lasting damage to your home.
We search for leaks using a variety of methods. There are acoustic listening devices that can tune in on the sound of dripping or rushing water. Temperature sensors can locate a leak by identifying areas with a much hotter or cooler temperature than the surrounding areas. There are also sewer and drain cameras that can be lowered into your plumbing system allowing us to see exactly what is going on in your pipes.

The Process
How a Lehi Leak Detection Service Runs
On the truck
Cable machine, jetter, and pipe camera — every call.
Initial assessment and meter test
Tech reads your water meter with all fixtures off — confirms there's an active leak somewhere. Asks about symptoms, recent water bills, and any clues about leak location.
Thermal imaging scan
Thermal camera scan of suspect areas — walls, floors, ceilings. Hot water leaks show as warm anomalies; cold water as cold. Narrows the leak to a specific area.
Acoustic detection
Sensitive contact microphones placed on walls, floors, and pipes. Listen for the hiss or rush of leaking water. Triangulate to within 6-12 inches of the leak.
Smart-home data review
If you have a Flo, Phyn, or Streamlabs detector at your main, we pull the data — when did the leak start, how much water has been lost, what's the flow rate. Helps confirm and prioritize the repair.
Repair recommendation and execution
Once located, we cut the smallest drywall access needed (typically 12x18" or smaller), repair the pipe, pressure-test, and reseal. Drywall patch included; paint typically a separate add-on.
