About water line leak detection in Chandler
Your water line carries water from the meter to the building, usually buried beneath the yard, driveway or landscaping. A leak there can show up as a rising bill, a pressure drop, or a damp patch outside — or no visible sign at all.
The investigation starts at the meter, confirms whether the leak is on your side of the line, and narrows down where along the line it is.

- Low water pressureThroughout the property rather than at one fixture.

How we investigate
Tell us what you've noticed
Water bill changes, damp spots, sounds, pressure drops, warm floors — the history points us to where to look first.
We check the property
The meter, fixtures, accessible plumbing and any affected areas are checked methodically, from most likely source outward.
We narrow down the location
Findings are used to pin the leak to a specific area — a fixture, a wall, a section of slab or a stretch of buried line.
You get a clear explanation
We explain what we found and your repair options before any work begins, so there are no surprises.
The Arizona factor
In the desert, an unexplained wet patch stands out — and a buried leak that runs for months can quietly erode the soil around a line. Check the area around your meter box and along the path of the line.
Frequently asked questions
Who is responsible for the water line?
That generally depends on where the line sits relative to the meter and local utility rules. Locating the leak helps establish where the problem actually is.
How do I check my meter for a leak?
Turn off every fixture and appliance, then look at the meter's leak indicator or dial. If it's still moving, water is going somewhere.
