Our Leak Detection Process

Franktown's large acreage properties require specialized leak detection. Here's how we find leaks across your property.

How We Find Your Leak

1
Property Survey
Map water lines across your acreage from well to home and identify access points.
2
Pressure Testing
Isolate sections of your system to determine where pressure loss occurs and narrow down the leak location.
3
Electronic Detection
Use acoustic equipment to pinpoint the exact leak location without digging up your entire property.
4
Targeted Repair
Excavate only where necessary to access and repair the leak, then restore your property.

Large Property Leak Challenges

On Franktown's large acreage, a well line leak can go unnoticed for weeks. The constant water loss makes your well pump work harder, increasing electricity costs and pump wear.

If your well pump runs more often or you find unexplained wet areas, contact us for leak detection before the problem worsens.

Underground leaks between your well and home. Often caused by freeze damage, root intrusion, or aging pipe.

Leaks at your pressure tank, check valve, or the piping connections common in well systems.

Interior Pipe Leaks

Hidden leaks inside walls or under floors that cause water damage and mold growth.

Leaks in outdoor irrigation systems that waste water and create soggy areas.

Common Leak Questions

How do I know if I have a well line leak?

Watch for your well pump running more often, decreased water pressure, unexplained wet spots in your yard or pasture, or a sudden increase in your electric bill from pump overwork.

Can you find leaks on large acreage?

Yes. Our acoustic leak detection equipment is designed for rural applications and can pinpoint leaks across large properties without digging up everything.

How deep are well lines buried in Franktown?

Well lines are typically buried 4-6 feet deep to protect against freezing. This is below the frost line but requires proper equipment to locate and access.

What causes well line leaks?

Common causes include freeze damage, ground shifting, tree root intrusion, corrosion in older metal pipes, and physical damage from construction or animals.
