A good chunk of Albuquerque’s housing stock is built with vital hot- and cold-water lines running directly beneath concrete foundations. This out-of-the-way placement can make it tough to pick up on signs that a slab leak is in progress. Anything from the expansion and contraction of pipes during temperature swings to corrosion weakening the structure can cause a slab leak, and catching them as quickly as possible is critical.
Here are some red flags that should prompt you to reach out for leak detection services in Albuquerque, NM:
The naturally high mineral content in Albuquerque’s water is a major cause of pinhole leaks in copper piping. As pH levels climb, dissolved solids in the water can start to react pretty aggressively to copper. Since it’s not a localized issue, this problem can spread pinhole leaks out across your entire plumbing system.
All of this damage occurs inside the pipe, so it can be tough to notice a problem before it’s too late. That’s to say, all of this matters to Albuquerque homeowners for several reasons:

The cost of your Albuquerque leak detection service depends on the severity and location. We also may need to use specialized equipment that will get factored into your final bill. Basic leak detection may cost a few hundred dollars whereas slab leak detection or acoustic testing tends to run a little higher.
Not in most cases. Our priority is to do non or minimally invasive methods to find the leak using infrared cameras and acoustic devices so we can find them and to targeted excavation instead of a major demolition.
Average leak detection service in Albuquerque can only take a few short hours but more complex situations may take longer. If it’s under a slab or someplace else less accessible then we will need more time to make sure we get it right.
We use things like infrared cameras and acoustic devices as well as tracer-gas testing. This helps us find leaks beneath a thick concrete slab and other hard to reach areas.
