Leak Detection and Repair Service in Salt Lake City & Across Utah

Water leaks can strike at any time, and the longer they go unnoticed, the more damage they cause. From warped flooring and mold growth to costly utility bills, hidden leaks can quickly spiral into a homeowner’s nightmare.

At Western Heating & Air, our professional leak detection service helps you find and fix water leaks before they get out of control.

Common Signs You Have a Plumbing Leak in Your Home

Not every leak is obvious. Many start small and hidden—slowly damaging drywall, wood framing, and even your home’s foundation. Here are the warning signs you should never ignore:

• High water bills: If your water bill keeps rising without changes in your household habits, it’s often a red flag that a hidden leak is wasting gallons of water every day.
• Mildew or mold growth: Persistent musty odors or visible mold spots on walls, ceilings, or carpets often mean water is seeping into hidden areas, creating the perfect environment for mold spores to thrive.
• Low water pressure: A sudden drop in water pressure can indicate water escaping somewhere in your plumbing system, reducing the flow to your faucets and fixtures.
• Water spots on ceilings or walls: Discolored stains, bubbling paint, or sagging drywall on ceilings or walls are common signs of water leaks in pipes above or behind those surfaces.
• Damaged flooring: Warped, buckling, or softened flooring materials can mean water is seeping beneath them. Over time, this can lead to structural damage and costly repairs.
• Sounds of running water: Hearing water movement when all taps and appliances are off often points to leaks inside walls, under floors, or within slab foundations.
• Cracks in foundation or walls: Prolonged leaks can weaken your foundation, causing cracks in concrete slabs and walls that worsen over time.

Even small leaks can waste thousands of gallons of water each year. Acting early can save you from expensive plumbing repairs and prevent long-term damage to your home.

Advanced Detection Methods for Finding Hidden Leaks

Hidden leaks require more than a flashlight and a good ear. At Western Heating & Air, our leak detection specialists use advanced tools that help us pinpoint even the smallest leaks without unnecessary damage to your home.

• Moisture Meters: These handheld devices measure the moisture content in building materials. By comparing readings across different areas, technicians can identify spots where water is present behind walls, under floors, or in ceilings.
• Pipe Inspection Cameras: These small, waterproof cameras are inserted directly into your pipes. They provide a real-time view of the inside of your plumbing system, allowing us to spot cracks, corrosion, or blockages that may be causing leaks.
• Pressure Testing: By sealing sections of your plumbing and carefully monitoring water pressure levels, our team can quickly detect drops that reveal a hidden leak. This method is especially effective for slab leak detection and underground water lines.

Together, these technologies allow us to locate leaks with accuracy—saving you time, money, and the stress of unnecessary demolition.

Our Non-Invasive Leak Detection and Repair Process

When you call Western Heating & Air for residential leak detection services, you can expect a thorough, step-by-step process designed to find and fix the problem efficiently:

1. Initial Inspection

We start by listening to your concerns and performing a surface-level assessment. This helps us identify obvious signs like damp spots, water stains, or changes in water pressure.

2. Advanced Techniques

If the leak isn’t visible, our specialists move on to advanced tools such as moisture meters, pipe cameras, and acoustic listening devices. These help us locate leaks inside walls, under floors, or beneath concrete slabs without tearing apart your home.

3. Detailed Diagnosis

Once the leak is identified, we’ll explain the cause and extent of the issue. Whether it’s a corroded pipe joint, a slab leak, or a hidden pinhole leak, we’ll give you a clear picture of what’s happening.

4. Professional Repairs

Our team is fully trained in a wide range of leak repair services, from small pipe fixes to larger slab leak repairs. We use high-quality parts and proven techniques to ensure your plumbing system is restored for the long run.
