Our Process
How a job runs in Commerce City, step by step: free quote, written scope, written quote, sign-off - and the cheaper option named when there is one.
Sequence
Four steps, start to finish
Estimated ranges up front, the meter read first, and pipe or ground settled before digging.
Call and say what you are seeing
Where the water is, when it appears, and whether it follows rain, a shower or nothing at all. That alone often separates supply, drain and ground.
Read the meters with us on the phone
Everything off, then the low-flow indicator; north of 96th Avenue, both meters. A moving indicator books the visit.
We isolate first, then listen and scan
Shutoffs split the house, the buried line and the sprinklers before a ground microphone, thermal camera or pressure test comes out.
You get the spot and the source in writing
The location marked, what found it, and whether the cause is supply, drain or ground. The repair is a separate written quote.
What it costs
Every price on one page
Estimated ranges for Adams County homes. Your own written quote comes after we have seen it.
Leak Detection - $150 - $400 estimated
Priced on access, not the clock.
Water Line Leak Detection - $150 - $400 estimated
The buried run from pit to wall.
Basement Leak Detection - $150 - $400 estimated
More where finishes cover the pipe.
Wall Leak Detection - $200 - $400 estimated
Thermal and moisture readings first.
Emergency Leak Detection - $150 - $400 estimated, plus call-out
The call-out is the hour, not the work.

Zone by zone, from the right meter.
Before anyone quotes
Four checks that settle pipe or ground
Three of them cost nothing, and we will talk you through all four on the phone.
Read every meter with everything off
Shut off every fixture and the sprinkler clock, then watch the small low-flow dial. North of 96th Avenue there are usually two meters, and whichever one moves names the half that is losing water.
Close the main shutoff and read again
A house meter that stops puts the leak indoors. One that still creeps with the valve shut puts it in the buried line between the meter pit and your wall.
Match the water to the weather and the fixtures
Water after storms usually means ground; after a shower or the laundry, a drain; all the time, with a moving meter, a supply line.
Then the equipment, only where it is needed
A ground microphone on a buried run, thermal and moisture readings on walls, a pressure test to prove a section. After the checks they find a spot; instead of them, they search a house.
Availability
Why the cheap checks come before the visit
The order of the work, and why it is in that order.
Most of what a leak visit costs is time spent narrowing a whole property down to one spot. The meter reading, the shutoff test and a note of when the water appears do a large share of that narrowing for free, before anybody drives over. North of 96th Avenue the second meter does even more, because it splits the sprinklers from the house in a single reading.
So the first call is a conversation, not a booking. If the meters say water is moving, the visit is booked with the search already half done. If they say nothing is moving and the basement is wet after rain, you hear that the source is probably the ground, and who handles that, before anyone is paid to confirm it.
- Estimated ranges stated before any visit
- Meter checks talked through on the phone
- Locating and repair kept as two separate numbers
- Groundwater named as groundwater, not sold as a leak
