Leak Detection Services in Santa Fe, NM

Non-Invasive Detection for Plumbing, Slabs, Pools & More

American Leak Detection of New Mexico brings more than 40 years of leak detection experience to Santa Fe homes, businesses, and municipal properties. Our technicians use advanced electronic equipment to locate hidden leaks precisely, without tearing into walls, floors, or landscapes. That principle, “Leak Detection Without Destruction™,” guides every service we perform.

Leaks rarely stay small. A slow drip under a slab or a pinhole in a supply line can cause structural damage, mold growth, and sharp spikes in your water bill long before the source becomes obvious. We cover the full range of leak detection services in Santa Fe so you can get an accurate answer fast, no matter where the problem is hiding.

Our Leak Detection Services in Santa Fe

We serve residential and commercial properties across the Santa Fe area with a complete set of detection and diagnostic services. Each uses non-invasive methods designed to protect your property while delivering accurate results.

Services we provide include:

  • Plumbing Leak Detection: Our technicians use electronic listening equipment and pressure testing to locate leaks anywhere in your plumbing system, from supply lines to fixtures, without opening walls unnecessarily.
  • Slab Leak Detection: Leaks beneath a concrete slab can go undetected for months while quietly undermining your foundation. We use ground microphones and correlating equipment to pinpoint slab leaks before they worsen.
  • Drain Leak Detection: Drain lines can crack, separate, or corrode in ways that are impossible to see. Our drain leak detection process identifies failure points accurately so repairs can target the right location.
  • Pipe Leak Detection: Whether the pipe is copper, PVC, or cast iron, our equipment traces the line and isolates the leak zone. This is especially useful when pipes run through walls, ceilings, or underground.
  • Wall Leak Detection: Moisture behind drywall or tile causes mold and structural decay quickly in Santa Fe’s climate. We locate wall leaks without destructive exploratory cuts.
  • Pool, Spa and Fountain Leak Detection: Water feature leaks drive up utility bills and can damage surrounding hardscape. We use dye testing and pressure equipment to find leaks in pools, spas, and fountains precisely.
  • Sewer Camera Inspection: Video inspection technology lets us examine your sewer lines for cracks, root intrusion, and blockages without excavation.
  • Sewer Odor Detection: Persistent sewer odors often signal a hidden breach. Our diagnostics trace the source and give you a clear picture of what needs repair.
  • Plumbing Smoke Testing: Harmless smoke introduced into the plumbing system reveals cracks, gaps, and unsealed joints quickly and without damage.
  • Cause & Origin / Mystery Leaks: When the source of water damage isn’t obvious, our systematic approach rules out possibilities and identifies the actual origin, including leaks that other companies may have missed.
  • Leak Surveys: For properties with ongoing or unconfirmed water loss, a comprehensive leak survey maps the entire system and documents findings, giving you a clear baseline for repairs and maintenance.
