Signs You Need Slab Leak Detection in Summerlin, NV
See our guide to common slab leak signs.
A warm patch on stone or tile
Heat over a slab usually means a hot line; thermal imaging maps the patch.
Damp carpet far from plumbing
It can be slab water wicking upward; moisture readings show which way it spreads.
A triangle that moves with irrigation off
With the controller off and every tap closed, a moving LVVWD triangle means water is leaving the property.
The triangle stops once the main is shut
Then the leak is inside the property line, and slab lines move up the list.
A call from LVVWD
LVVWD reaches out when its meter records continuous flow for several days.
Our Slab Leak Detection Services in Summerlin, NV
What one Summerlin, NV visit covers.
Your meter result, checked
We repeat the meter split, or run it fresh, before any indoor testing.
Hot or cold, then which section
Isolation at the water heater, a pressure test, then sound and heat along the route.
A taped point on the floor
The located spot is marked, with the readings explained to you.
Not part of the visit
Cutting stone or concrete, the repair and drying.
Our Slab Leak Detection Process in Summerlin, NV
Meter split
Irrigation off, then the main shut, to confirm the leak sits under the house.
Hot or cold
Closing the water heater's cold supply shows whether the leaking line carries hot water.
Pressure test the suspect line
A line that will not hold pressure once isolated is the leaking one.
Narrow it by sound and heat
Acoustic listening and thermal imaging close in along the line route.
Mark and explain
The spot is marked and repair options are explained before anyone cuts.
- 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.

FAQs About Slab Leak Detection in Summerlin, NV
How do I use LVVWD's meter test to check for a slab leak in Summerlin?
Turn off all water, irrigation included, and watch the meter's flow triangle. Then close the main valve: if the triangle stops, the leak is inside the house, where slab lines run.
Can drip irrigation make my Summerlin meter look like I have a slab leak?
Yes. A drip zone running on a timer moves the triangle the same way a leak does, so switch the irrigation controller off before testing.
Do you cover Sun City Summerlin and The Lakes?
Yes. Both are in 89134, which we cover along with Queensridge (89144), the Trails area (89145), Summerlin West (89138) and Summerlin South (89135).
Is a leak sensor worth adding after a Summerlin slab leak is repaired?
It can be. SNWA's Home Leak Sensor Rebate pays half the price or $200, whichever is less, for SNWA member-agency customers, which includes LVVWD accounts in Summerlin.
What should I do about an emergency slab leak in Summerlin at night?
Close the main valve if water is surfacing, then call. Our phone picks up 24/7, nights and holidays included, and the trace gets booked before you hang up.
Do you repair slab leaks in Summerlin?
No. We locate and mark the spot, and a licensed plumber you choose does the repair.
