Leak Detector Greeley works across the city of Greeley and out into nearby Weld County. Our office sits at 2420 W 16th St, Greeley, CO 80634. Most calls inside the city reach us fast, and we travel to nearby towns on request. This page shows where we work, how the area shapes leaks, and how to book.
Greeley neighborhoods we serve
Greeley is large and varied. Homes range from 100-year-old bungalows to subdivisions that opened last year. Each area leaks in its own way, so we wrote a page for each part of town.
West Greeley
Homes here date from the 1980s to today. Large lawns and big sprinkler systems drive many leak calls. Read about leak detection in West Greeley.
Central Greeley
This is the oldest part of the city. Older pipes, mature trees, basements, and rentals shape the work. Read about leak detection in Central Greeley.
East Greeley
Homes here are newer, many from the 2000s on. Slabs, PEX plumbing, and builder warranties matter most. Read about leak detection in East Greeley.
Nearby towns
Weld County has many towns around Greeley. We serve Greeley first. We also travel to nearby communities on request, including Evans, Garden City, LaSalle, Windsor, Johnstown, Milliken, and Eaton. Travel time can affect scheduling, so call us with your address and we will confirm.
If you live outside Greeley city limits, your water may come from another provider, a district, or a well. Rules and rates differ. Tell us who supplies your water when you call.
Why the local area matters for leaks
Leaks do not follow city lines, but the local setting changes what we find. Four local factors matter most.
Greeley's water budget billing
Greeley bills single-family homes on a water budget with four tiers. The city says the budget reflects efficient use for your lot size and household. Use above the budget costs more per 1,000 gallons. A leak can push a bill up twice, once for the water and once for the higher rate. Our high water bill guide shows how to check.
Bills outside Greeley follow other rules. Ask your own water provider how it prices water.
Soil that moves
Many Front Range soils contain clay that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. The Colorado Geological Survey maps swelling soils along the Front Range Urban Corridor. Moving soil bends pipes and stresses slabs. That is why we see many slab and service line leaks in this area.
Cold weather
Greeley says its first freeze usually arrives in October. The city suggests winterizing sprinklers and hoses in mid-October. A hard freeze can crack a fitting. The leak may only start after the thaw. Hard cold snaps also test pipes in garages, crawlspaces, and north walls.
Big lawns and irrigation
Many Greeley and Weld County yards have large turf areas and multi-zone sprinklers. Greeley sets lawn-watering rules each spring. In a normal year, the season has run from about April 15 to October 31. Sprinkler lines sit idle for months and then run under pressure. Many breaks show up at spring start-up. See our guide to irrigation leak detection.
Hours and emergency service
We take emergency calls 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If water floods your home, call right away. Regular visits run Monday through Friday, 7 am to 5 pm.
While you wait for us, shut off your main water valve. Move belongings off wet floors. Take photos for your insurance records.
What we do in every area
The method stays the same no matter where you live.
- We start with your meter. A moving meter with everything off proves a leak. Our meter test guide shows how.
- We isolate the system. We separate the house, the irrigation, and the service line.
- We search the right zone. We use listening gear, thermal imaging, moisture readings, and pressure tests.
- We mark the leak. The plumber opens one small spot.
- We write a report. You get facts for your insurer, your landlord, your buyer, or your plumber. See our leak detection report page.

Before you dig anywhere
If your repair needs digging, call 811 first. Public utilities respond to a locate request within two business days, according to Colorado 811. Public locates do not mark private lines, so your own water or irrigation line may not show up. We help by tracing and marking the private line.
How to get ready for a visit
A little preparation makes any visit faster, whether you live in Greeley or a nearby town.
- Clear a path. Move cars, bins, and furniture away from the meter, the water heater, and any wet areas.
- Open gates. Make sure we can reach the yard, the meter box, and any valve boxes.
- Secure pets. Keep dogs inside or in another room while we work.
- Find your shutoffs. Locate the main water valve and the irrigation shutoff. Test them if you can.
- Gather your bills. The last year of water bills helps us see when the leak started.
- Write down what you notice. Note the sounds, smells, warm spots, and stains. Add dates.
