Underground Leak Detection in Denver
An underground leak, whether it's in a service line, water main, or a pipe running beneath your yard or driveway, can go unnoticed for months while it drives up your water bill and undermines the ground around it. Altitude Leak Detection locates these leaks precisely using acoustic and electronic equipment, so there's no guesswork and no unnecessary digging. We serve homeowners, businesses, and municipalities across the Denver metro area. Call 303-427-4097 to get it pinpointed before it gets worse.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs of an underground water leak?
A soft, sunken, or soggy spot in the yard, an unusually green patch of grass, cracking or heaving in a driveway or sidewalk, the sound of running water underground, a meter that keeps spinning with everything off, and warm patches on the ground in cold weather. A water bill spike or a drop in pressure with no other explanation also points to a leak.
Why does finding the exact spot matter so much?
Repair cost depends heavily on where the pipe is. Pipe deeper than 5 feet needs a trench shoring system, work in a right of way can require traffic control and a permit, and a line under a curb or street means asphalt or concrete work. Trees, landscaping and other underground utilities add more. Pinpointing the leak first keeps the excavation as small as possible.
Will you have to dig to find the leak?
We locate the leak before any digging starts, so if a repair is needed the work is done in the right place. Call 303-427-4097 if you suspect a leak.
Can you find leaks in plastic pipe like PVC or PEX?
Yes. There is no limit on the type of pipe. If the line can be isolated and pressurized, we can test it.
Do you offer same-day or emergency service?
Sometimes, depending on the location and the nature of the leak. Call our office at 303-427-4097 to talk it through.
