- 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 Summerlin, NV
Six signs, and how each is confirmed.
The meter triangle moves with everything off
LVVWD's own test: all water off, then watch the red or white flow triangle. If it still turns, there may be a leak.
A toilet that refills on its own
LVVWD says more than 20 percent of gravity-flush toilets leak. A dye tablet in the tank confirms it in minutes.
Damp drywall far from a fixture
No sink or tub nearby usually means a supply line in the cavity; moisture readings trace it back.
A warm spot on tile
Warmth underfoot can mark a hot-water line leaking under the floor; a thermal scan tells us whether to chase it.
Water at the pool equipment pad
A wet pad or a fill valve that keeps running can be a plumbing leak or a pool leak; isolating the auto-fill tells them apart.
Our Leak Detection Services in Summerlin, NV
Six Summerlin, NV leak detection services, from tile floors to backyard spas.
Slab Leak Detection
Hot and cold lines under stone or tile floors are traced from the surface, so finished flooring is lifted only at the mark.
Pool and Spa Leak Detection
For Summerlin South and Red Rock Country Club backyards, we separate evaporation from loss, then test shell, skimmer and returns.
High Water Bill Leak Detection
An LVVWD bill or notice with no visible water: a meter reading, a valve split and the toilet dye check come first.
Water Heater Leak Detection
Tanks and tankless units are both checked at the unit, its pressure relief and every connection.
Commercial Leak Detection
For HOA-managed buildings and shops near Downtown Summerlin, line shut-downs are agreed with the manager in advance.
Emergency Leak Detection
For emergency water leak detection in Summerlin, NV, close the house valve first, then call.
Our Leak Detection Process in Summerlin, NV
Five steps, from the notice to a mark on the floor.
Read the notice and meter with you
What LVVWD reported, and what the triangle does now.
Close the house valve and read again
That one reading tells us whether to work outside or inside.
Rule out toilets and irrigation
Dye tablets in each tank, then sprinkler zones and any pool fill shut off.
Pinpoint with pressure, sound or heat
Whichever method suits the confirmed line narrows it to a short section.
Mark and explain the finding
You get the spot and the readings behind it.
- 1Floor covering: tile, wood or carpet.
- 2Concrete slab foundation.
- 3Water supply line running beneath the slab.
- 4The leak, wetting the soil around the line.
- 5Warm spot on the floor when the leaking line carries hot water.
- 6Damp or discoloured flooring, or wet carpet, near the leak.
- 7Sound of running water with every fixture turned off.
Why Choose Us for the Best Leak Detection in Summerlin, NV

The visit starts with the same meter test LVVWD publishes, so what we find lines up with what the notice said.
Care with finished homes
Stone tile and pavers raise the cost of a wrong guess, so the spot is confirmed before anything is lifted.
House and pool by one specialist
House lines and a pool or spa, checked by the same business.
Limits we state up front
No repair, repiping, drying, mold, roof or gas work. You choose who fixes it.
Leak Location Methods Compared in Summerlin, NV
What each method can and cannot show; see how leak detection methods work.
| Method | What it finds | Limits |
|---|---|---|
| Meter split | Whether the loss is in the yard line or the house side | Cannot narrow past that split |
| Toilet dye test | Flappers and fill valves leaking into the bowl | Covers toilets only |
| Pressure isolation | The individual branch that will not hold pressure | Depends on valves that close fully |
| Acoustic listening | The loudest point of escaping water | Pavers, deep fill and pool pumps add noise |
| Thermal imaging | Hot-side leaks as warm areas | Weak on cold lines and sunlit surfaces |
Leak Detection Cost Factors in Summerlin, NV
We quote each job after hearing the details; see common reasons a bill climbs.
Inside or yard leak
A yard-side reading keeps the work outdoors; an inside result means more fixtures and walls to clear.
Number of branches
Irrigation zones, a pool auto-fill or a casita each add a line to shut off and clear.
Finishes over the line
Stone tile and built-in cabinetry over a suspect line take more care than a garage slab.

LVVWD publishes this test in its find and fix leaks guide (opens in a new tab); here are the four possible results.

|---|---|---|
| Moving | Open | A leak somewhere on the property |

After the Leak Is Located in Summerlin, NV
Where the mark lands decides who you call next.
Meter box or the street
A leak at the meter or street side is usually LVVWD's responsibility. Report it to LVVWD.
Your side of the meter
The buried line and everything inside are yours. Keep the notice and paid invoice, since LVVWD's customer assistance programs (opens in a new tab) ask for repair records.

Three days. LVVWD contacts account holders after three or more days of continuous flow; the notice says something is running, not where.
I got an LVVWD leak notice but cannot see any water. What now?
Turn off all water, check the meter's triangle, then close the house valve and check again, as LVVWD describes. Still moving points underground outside; stopped points inside.
