Leak Detection & Slab Leak Repair in Gilbert, AZ — Mountain Vista Plumbing

Find the Leak Without Tearing Up Your Home

A High Water Bill in Gilbert Usually Means a Leak on Your Side

Gilbert's public water system is in good shape. The town's 2023 water quality report counts about 0.81 main breaks per 100 miles of pipe. So when your bill jumps or you hear water running with everything off, the problem is usually inside your property, often under your slab or in your yard.

Mountain Vista Plumbing finds hidden leaks in Gilbert homes using professional acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging, and line pressure testing. We pinpoint the leak before we cut anything. Then we explain every repair option and give you a firm price.

Why Gilbert Homes Develop Hidden Leaks

Gilbert's building boom is now 25 to 35 years old. Gilbert grew from about 29,000 residents in 1990 to more than 200,000 by 2010. Many homes from those years ran copper water lines under the slab. After decades of hard water, soil movement, and pipe rubbing against concrete, pinhole leaks start to show up.

Some homes have problem pipe. Some East Valley homes built from the late 1990s through the mid-2000s used Kitec, an orange or blue pipe with brass fittings that was later recalled. If you see it at your water heater or under your sinks, have it looked at before it fails.

Warm floors are a warning sign. A hot water line leaking under the slab can make one spot of tile or carpet feel warm. Other signs include the sound of running water, damp baseboards, cracks in flooring, and a water heater that runs more than it should.

Check for a Leak Yourself First

Turn off every faucet, appliance, and irrigation zone in your home. Then look at your water meter. If the small leak indicator is still spinning, water is going somewhere. Write down the reading, wait an hour without using water, and check again. If the number moved, call us.

Gilbert Leak Detection FAQ

Do you have to break up my floor?
Not always. Depending on where the leak is, rerouting the line through the walls or attic is often cleaner and avoids jackhammering your slab. We'll explain the trade-offs.

Will my homeowner's insurance cover a slab leak?
Many policies cover the damage and the cost of accessing the pipe, but not the pipe itself. Check your policy, and we'll document what we find.

Is one slab leak a sign of more coming?
Sometimes. If your pipes are older and showing wear, we'll tell you honestly whether a spot repair or a repipe is the better investment.
