A leaking water supply line between the meter and the home hides underground. Rhino Rooter uses electronic detection to locate it before excavating, so the repair targets the leak — not the whole yard.
Water line leak detection locates leaks in the pressurized supply line running from the water meter to the home. We use electronic listening equipment and pressure testing to pinpoint the leak underground — under soil, landscaping, or hardscape — so excavation is targeted to the failure, not exploratory.
A sudden or unexplained increase in your water bill, consistently low water pressure, soggy or saturated areas in the yard when it hasn't rained, or the meter dial spinning when all fixtures are off. Any of these warrants detection before digging.
We verify the meter confirms a leak — the dial moves with all fixtures off.
We shut off the main to isolate the supply line from indoor plumbing.
We use electronic equipment to locate the leak through the soil.
We mark the location and quote the repair in writing before any digging.
We check the meter to confirm a leak exists, isolate the water line, use electronic equipment to listen through the soil and pinpoint the location, and mark the exact spot for a targeted excavation and repair.
Water line leak detection cost depends on the length of the line and the surface above it (soil, concrete, or hardscape). We quote in writing after the initial assessment. The repair is quoted separately once the leak is located.
A leaking water supply line wastes water, saturates soil near the foundation, and can undermine driveways and walkways. Water bills climb until the leak is found and fixed.
We provide water line leak detection across Ogden, West Haven, Roy, North Ogden, and the surrounding Weber County area within 75-mile of West Haven.
We use electronic acoustic equipment that listens through the soil to locate the leak. We mark the spot so excavation targets the failure, not the whole line.
Corrosion, frost damage, soil movement, joint failure, and age. Northern Utah's freeze-thaw cycles are hard on older copper and galvanized supply lines.
Unexplained water bill increases, low pressure, soggy yard spots, or the meter dial moving with all fixtures off.
Yes. Once we locate the leak, we quote the repair in writing. We excavate only where needed and replace the failed section.
We detect it electronically and quote the repair in writing — no digging until we know exactly where the leak is.
