Water leak detection finds the leak you cannot see, so the repair starts in the right spot. The first sign is often a stained ceiling or a water bill that jumped. Wright Flow Plumbing and Heating is based in Edgewood and works Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Corrales and the East Mountains.
Winter storms bring leaks in the wall, along with frozen pipes and slab leaks. We find and fix hidden leaks in homes, rentals, manufactured homes and small commercial buildings. A leak under the concrete floor is slab leak repair. A leak between the meter and the house is water line repair.

The EPA says a family of four using more than 12,000 gallons in a winter month could have serious leaks. Your water meter is the other clue. If it moves with every tap off, water is going somewhere. A big leak can also drop the water pressure.
Inside the house, look for drywall that stains, bubbles or feels soft. A warm spot on the floor points to a hot water line under the slab. Some people hear water running in a wall when nothing is on. A musty smell counts too, since the EPA says a moldy smell with no visible source can mean hidden mold.
A wet outside wall after a hard freeze often means a split pipe, which is frozen pipe repair. Even slow leaks add up. The EPA puts the average household's leaks at more than 9,300 gallons a year.
We start at the water meter with every fixture off. Albuquerque's Water Authority says most meters have an indicator that spins whenever water is running. Then we close the main shutoff. A meter that keeps moving means the leak is between the meter and the house.
When the meter stops, the leak is inside, so we check the usual spots before touching a wall. The Water Authority's leak list starts with toilets, and a running toilet is toilet repair. A dripping faucet is faucet replacement, and we check the water heater and hose bibs too. A softener running in the daytime may have a valve stuck open, which is water softener repair.
Next we shut fixtures and lines down one at a time until the meter stops. A gauge on a closed section of pipe shows whether it holds pressure. Then we open the wall or ceiling where the evidence points. Drain leaks show only when water runs down them, and a broken drain or sewer line is sewer line repair.
A pinhole in copper, a corroded supply line or a bad fitting usually gets a new section of pipe. A run that is hard to reach can be rerouted through another wall or the attic. When galvanized or polybutylene pipe keeps springing pinholes, it may be time for a repipe, which is plumbing repair work.
Albuquerque's water runs moderately hard to hard, depending on source and blend, the Water Authority says. Hard water leaves scale on valve seats, and a valve that cannot seat will drip. Old shutoff valves often fail to close all the way during testing, and we replace those.
In a manufactured home, the water lines often run under the floor, above the belly wrap. A leak there can soak the insulation and make the belly sag.
