Signs of a slab leak in Pueblo include warm spots on the floor (from a hot water line leak), wet spots on concrete floors, cracks appearing in flooring or walls, the sound of water running under the floor when everything is off, or a water bill that has climbed without explanation. Slab leaks are serious. water infiltrating under the foundation causes structural damage over time. WireNut uses electronic leak detection to pinpoint slab leaks without unnecessary floor destruction.

In most cases, yes. Electronic leak detection and acoustic listening equipment lets our plumbers identify the location of a leak before opening anything. Once we know where it is, we can make a targeted access point rather than tearing open the entire wall. There are some situations where the pipe routing requires more access, but we always aim for the minimal footprint approach first.

Yes, unexplained water bill increases are one of the most common ways Pueblo homeowners discover hidden leaks. A toilet running continuously, a supply line leaking in a wall, or a slab leak can all cause significant water loss that shows up in your bill before you see any visible evidence of the leak. A quick check: turn off every fixture and appliance in your home and watch your water meter for a few minutes. If it is still turning, you have an active leak somewhere.

The combination of aging pipes and hard water from the Arkansas River watershed makes older Pueblo homes particularly susceptible to hidden leaks. Galvanized steel pipes. common in homes built before the 1970s. corrode from the inside out, and the narrowing and eventual pinhole failure often happens inside walls or under slabs. Copper pipes in mid-century Pueblo homes can also develop pitting corrosion from hard water over decades of use. WireNut’s plumbers factor Pueblo’s water quality into their leak assessment.

WireNut provides flat-rate pricing for leak detection services in Pueblo before the assessment begins. The cost depends on the scope of the investigation and the size of the home. Once we locate the leak, repair pricing is provided separately and upfront before any repair work starts. Schedule online for current pricing.

WireNut’s leak detection focus is on the plumbing inside and under your Pueblo home. supply lines, drain lines, and slab leaks. For irrigation system leaks that are outside the home’s main plumbing system, that is typically handled by a separate irrigation specialist. If the issue is at the point where the irrigation connects to your main water supply, that is something we can assess.

Once we locate the leak, we give you a flat-rate price for the repair before any access or repair work begins. We make the targeted access, repair the pipe, test the repair, and restore what we opened to the best condition we can. If the pipe condition suggests other areas of concern, we will tell you that clearly with options for how to address it.
