- 1Meter box. Lift the lid to see the water meter.
- 2Flow-indicator triangle (red or white) on the meter face. With all water off inside and outside the home, a triangle that is still moving means there may be a leak.
- 3Meter dial and sweep hand, which record the water that passes through the meter.
- 4Service line from the meter to the house. If the triangle still moves with the house shut-off valve closed, the leak is likely underground on this line.
- 5House shut-off valve. Close it and check the triangle again: if it stops, the leak is elsewhere on the property.
Signs You Need Leak Detection in Las Vegas, NV
A sign says water is escaping, not where. A test finds it.
A Bill That Jumped With Nothing Wet
EPA WaterSense suggests reading the meter before and after two hours of no water use. Any change probably means a leak; isolating each line shows which.
A Meter Triangle That Keeps Moving
With every fixture off, a moving flow triangle may mean a leak. Closing the house shut-off shows whether it is the buried service line.
A Warm Spot on the Floor
A warm patch on tile often means a hot line leaking under the slab. Isolating hot from cold, then thermal imaging, confirms it.
A Pool or Spa That Drops Faster Than Usual
Some drop is evaporation. A bucket test separates the two (pool leak or evaporation in Las Vegas), then dye at the shell, skimmer, lights and fittings finds the leak.
Water at the Base of the Water Heater
The tank, relief valve or a fitting above can feed one puddle. Tracing the first wet point shows which.

Homes and pools
Pool and Spa Leak Detection
We separate evaporation from a real leak, then check the shell, skimmer, lights and fittings.
See pool leak detection in Las Vegas
High Water Bill Leak Detection
A bill that jumps with no visible water often points to a hidden leak.
See high water bill investigation in Las Vegas
Water Heater Leak Detection
Water at a tank's base can come from the tank, the relief valve or a fitting above it.
See water heater leaks in Las Vegas

Read the meter

Isolate the lines
Hot from cold, house from irrigation, and the pool equipment from everything else.

Methods such as a pressure test, acoustic listening and thermal imaging, chosen for the leak type.

Leak Detection Cost Factors in Las Vegas, NV
We quote each visit; published market ranges are in our leak detection cost in Las Vegas guide.
Where the Leak Sits
A line under a slab, in a wall, along the yard or in a pool shell each needs a different search.
How Many Lines Need Isolating
One cold line clears faster than hot, cold, irrigation and pool lines sharing a meter.
Access
A buried meter box, gate codes, tenant units and finished ceilings change how the visit is planned.

FAQs About Leak Detection in Las Vegas, NV
How much does leak detection cost in Las Vegas, NV?
We quote each visit; the price depends on where the leak sits, how many lines need isolating and access. Published ranges are in our leak detection cost guide.
How can I detect water leaks in Las Vegas, NV?
Start with LVVWD's meter test: turn off every fixture and watch the flow triangle. If it moves, close the house shut-off. Still moving means the buried service line; stopping means the house side.
Who do I call to see if I have a water leak in my house?
A leak detection and repair specialist. If the meter test shows flow, we find the source before anything is opened, then repair only what the leak needs.
Is leak detection worth it?
Usually, when the leak is hidden. Locating it first means only one spot of slab, wall or yard gets opened, and the repair starts at a marked location instead of a guess.
Can you have a water leak and not know it?
Yes. A leak under a slab or in a buried service line can run with no visible water until LVVWD flags three days of continuous flow.
Is leak detection covered by home insurance?
It depends on your policy, so check with your insurer. Our slab leak insurance guide for Nevada covers it in more depth.
Is there leak detection near me in Las Vegas, NV at any hour?
Yes. Our line is answered 24/7, nights, weekends and holidays included, for homes and businesses in Las Vegas, NV and eight nearby valley communities. Close the house shut-off first; the arrival time is confirmed on the call.
Do you fix the leak after you find it?
Yes. We find and mark the leak first, then repair only what is needed: pipe and water lines, slab leak repair or reroute, water heaters and pools or spas. Restoration is not on our list.
