Leak Detection in Avondale, AZ

Where Avondale Leaks Hide

In our experience, Avondale leaks fall into a few categories. In older homes near Western Avenue, copper or galvanized lines under the slab or inside walls are common culprits. In newer neighborhoods, fittings on PEX or CPVC lines fail. And in every home, toilets and fixtures can leak quietly.

The line from the water meter to the house is another frequent source, especially where it has been in the ground for a long time or where high pressure has stressed it.

Slab and Yard Leaks

For slab leaks, we locate the leak and give you two options: open the floor and repair at the leak, or reroute the line through walls or attic. For yard line leaks, we locate the damaged section and repair or replace it.

We also check water pressure. In some Avondale neighborhoods, a failing pressure regulator lets high pressure stress the plumbing and cause leaks. Replacing it can prevent the next one.

Service Line Leaks in Avondale Yards

The buried line from your meter to the house is one of the most common leak sources in Avondale. Older homes may still have galvanized service lines that have been underground for decades. Newer homes have plastic lines that can be damaged by settling, landscaping or high pressure.

Signs of a service line leak:

• A soggy or unusually green strip of yard between the meter and the house
• Gravel or soil that sinks or washes out
• The meter keeps moving after you close the main shutoff at the house
• Low pressure throughout the home

When we find a service line leak, we locate it before digging, then repair the section or replace the line. See repiping in Avondale for full replacements.
