Commercial Leak Detection
Commercial leak detection in Arizona means finding the break in a buried line, a pool shell, a fountain basin or a slab before it closes a unit or turns up as a water bill nobody can explain. LeakLab locates the leak without digging, then hands your team a written report the same day.

Commercial Leak Detection in Arizona
Water travels a long way on a commercial site before it surfaces, and the person who notices is rarely the person who owns the line. A landscape crew finds a soft spot. A tenant hears water in a wall. A bill doubles.
Commercial leak detection is the step between noticing and fixing. We pressure test to prove which line is losing water, then narrow that line to a single spot with acoustic, electronic, tracer gas and thermal equipment. You get a mark, a photograph and a written report.
The report matters as much as the mark, because commercial repairs go out for bid, get split between an owner and a tenant, or get submitted to a claim.
- We locate. Plumbers and landscapers replace.
- One access hole, not a trench across a working property.
A stadium fountain, located and repaired
LeakLab located and repaired a fountain leak at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, home of the Arizona Cardinals. The same sequence works on a two hundred unit complex or a resort pool deck, because a pressurised line losing water behaves the same way at any size.
Our Commercial Leak Detection Services
One diagnostic sequence, applied to whichever system on your property is losing water.
Multifamily and apartment leak detection
Complexes, condos and townhome communities lose water between slabs, inside shared walls, and in the lines feeding laundry rooms and pools. We isolate the affected building or riser, so the whole property does not go dry while somebody looks.
HOA and common area leaks
Community pools, splash pads, entry fountains and turf mainlines. The finding goes in writing, which is what a board needs before it approves a repair or draws on reserves.
Retail, office and industrial leak detection
Slab leaks under tenant spaces, hot water recirculation, backflow assemblies and fire riser feeds. Warehouses, yards, municipal facilities and golf course mainlines fall here too, where a line can run hundreds of feet under paving before it fails.
Commercial pools, spas and splash pads
Shell cracks, skimmer and light niche leaks, return and suction line breaks, and losses under the deck. We test before anyone cuts concrete.
Fountains and water features
Basin cracks, failed penetrations, nozzle plumbing and equipment vault fittings, on features where evaporation off a moving surface hides most of the loss.
Water bill investigations
Sometimes the bill is the only symptom. We meter test and isolate the property section by section to name the system that is losing the water.
How Commercial Water Leak Detection Works
First, water loss evaluation
Meter readings, bill history and autofill run times tell us how much water is going missing per day, and which systems are plausible suspects.
Next, a walk of the property
Equipment rooms, backflow assemblies, irrigation manifolds, expansion joints and surface staining. On a large site this step alone often halves the search area.
Then system isolation
We shut and test one section at a time. Several systems usually share one meter, and proving which one is failing is most of the job.
After that, pressure testing
Each suspect line is pressurised and held. A line that holds is cleared and set aside. A line that drops is measured, so we know how badly it is losing.
Electronic and acoustic detection follows
Ground microphones, correlators, tracer gas, thermal imaging, sonar and dye turn a failing line into one marked spot on the surface.
Finally, a written report the same day
Location, method, pressure readings and photographs, in a form you can forward to a contractor, a board or an insurer.
Commercial Pool Leak Detection, Fountains and Water Features
A resort or community pool holds far more water than a backyard pool, so the same percentage of loss is a much larger volume, and an autofill nobody watches hides it. We dye test the shell, isolate and pressure test return, suction and cleaner lines, check the skimmer and light niches, and inspect the equipment pad before anyone touches the deck.
Commercial fountain repair
Fountains lose water through basin cracks, failed penetrations, nozzle plumbing and vault fittings. Commercial fountain repair starts with proving which one it is, because the fix for a cracked basin and the fix for a failed fitting have nothing in common.
Water feature repair on commercial properties
Entry features, spillways, waterfalls and splash pads. Water feature repair on a commercial site has to happen without closing the amenity for a week, so the diagnosis has to be right the first time. For a home rather than a commercial property, see our water feature leak detection page.
Every Commercial Leak Detection Job Is Guaranteed for Two Years
Why we can offer it
We only diagnose. We are not a plumber or a pool contractor detecting leaks between repair jobs, so a vague answer never turns into more billable work for us. Being right is the product.
What it means for you
If we mark a spot and the leak is not there, we come back and re-diagnose it at no charge for two full years. The guarantee travels with the report, so whoever performs the repair is working from a backed finding.
What Arizona Clients Say About LeakLab Leak Detection
Commercial Leak Detection FAQs
Can you find a leak without shutting down the property?
Usually, yes. We isolate one section at a time, so the rest of the site keeps water. Where a full shutdown is unavoidable for a pressure test, we take the quietest window you have and keep it as short as the test allows.
How do you tell which tenant or building the leak belongs to?
By isolation and pressure testing. We close and test one riser, building or zone at a time until the loss follows a specific line. That is what makes the finding usable when a repair cost has to be allocated between an owner and a tenant.
My water bill jumped but there is nothing visible. Is that a leak?
It often is. In Arizona a buried line can lose a great deal of water into caliche or under paving and never surface. A meter test and a section by section isolation will tell you whether the water is going into the ground, and which system is losing it.
How much does commercial leak detection cost in Arizona?
Estimates are free. Detection is a flat diagnostic fee, and on a commercial site it depends on how many systems have to be isolated and how large the search area is, so we quote it once we know what we are looking at. Call (602) 622-8390 and describe the property.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. LeakLab is licensed and insured in Arizona under the ROC, and we can provide a certificate of insurance for your property file before we come out.
Schedule Commercial Leak Detection in Arizona
If a water bill does not add up, a tenant is hearing water in a wall, or a pool or fountain is dropping faster than evaporation explains, commercial leak detection is the cheapest next step you can take. We locate it without digging, guarantee the location for two years, and put the finding in writing the same day.
