Leak Detection Provo UT

• Lots of rentals. Student housing and family rentals see heavy use, and small leaks often go unreported until the bill arrives.
• Shared lines in duplexes. Two units can share a supply line or meter, so one leak can raise both bills.
• Older homes near downtown and campus. Galvanized and early copper lines are common in older neighborhoods.
• Newer homes on the edges. East bench and south end builds use PEX, with leaks at fittings and new sprinkler systems.

These clues come up again and again across Provo.

• High water bill. A high water bill Provo landlords can't explain often comes from a running toilet or hidden pipe leak in a unit. Tenants rarely notice, since they may not see the bill.
• Stain in the downstairs unit. A ceiling stain in a basement apartment usually traces to a bath, toilet or supply line in the unit above it.
• Low pressure in an older home. Weak flow at every tap often means galvanized pipe is closing up inside, or a service line is leaking before it reaches the house.
• Musty smell in a rental. A damp odor with no visible water can mean a slow leak behind a wall or under a shower that tenants have not reported.
• Warm spot on a floor. A warm patch on tile can point to a slab leak Provo UT homes get on hot lines under concrete, often near the water heater.

• Phone check. You tell us about the home or unit, and we give a price range.
• Meter test. We read the meter with every unit's water off, then turn units on one at a time.
• Pinpoint. Thermal, acoustic and moisture tools mark the exact spot.
• Report and price. You get photos, notes and a firm price for leak repair Provo UT homes need.
• Repair. One small, planned opening, then a pressure test before we leave.

• The duplex bill. One meter, two units, and a toilet running nonstop in the upstairs unit.
• The basement apartment ceiling. A shower valve leaking behind tile stains the ceiling below.
• The galvanized service line. An older home near downtown loses pressure and finds a rusted line leaking in the yard.
• The east bench sprinkler zone. A sprinkler leak Provo yards hide keeps one corner soggy all summer.
• The kitchen sink cabinet. A plumbing leak Provo rentals hide under a sink swells the cabinet floor before anyone mentions it.

Each call starts with a meter test and ends with a written price.

• Test each side. One leak in a duplex can raise the bill for both units, so test each side.
• Ask tenants to report drips. A running toilet caught early saves a lot of water.
• Read the meter between tenants. A quick check during move out can reveal a hidden leak.
• Request locates. Blue Stakes 811 marks gas and power lines ahead of any digging.
• Ask the city about your bill. After a repair, check with Provo City utilities about any leak questions.
