Water Leak Detection & Repair in Mustang, OK

Water leak detection in Mustang usually starts with a number that doesn't add up: a city water bill higher than last month's, or a well pump that runs while the house is quiet. We find leaks in walls, ceilings and under yards, pinpoint them with test equipment, and repair them, often on the same visit. We answer 24/7.

How big a small leak gets

By EPA WaterSense's count, leaks in a typical home throw away upward of 9,300 gallons a year, and nearly one home in ten loses 50 gallons or more every single day. Most of those are drips and running toilets you can hear. The ones that cost the most are the ones you can't: a pinhole inside a wall, a cracked fitting above a ceiling, or a buried service line leaking into the yard.

Try the meter test first

Every home on the city system has a meter, usually in a box near the street, and that meter is the cheapest leak detector you own. Here's how to use it:

  1. Turn everything off. Make sure no faucets, toilets, washer, dishwasher, ice maker or irrigation zones are running.
  2. Read the meter. Lift the meter box lid and note the reading, or watch the small leak indicator on the dial.
  3. Wait and recheck. Give it an hour or two without using water. If the reading changed or the indicator turns, water is going somewhere.
  4. Close the house valve. If the meter still moves with the main house valve shut, the leak is likely in the buried line between the meter and the house.

On a private well, watch the pressure tank gauge instead. If the pressure drops and the pump kicks on with everything off, the leak is somewhere between the tank and the fixtures, or in the line from the well.

Underground water leak detection in Mustang

The service line between the meter and the house, and on acreage the line from the well to the house, can run a long way underground. Mustang's soils make those leaks harder to spot. NRCS maps most of the city as well-drained loamy and sandy soil, so a buried leak can soak away without surfacing. Where the ground thins to shallow sandstone, as in Ironmound soils just 10 to 20 inches deep to rock, water can travel along the rock and appear somewhere other than over the leak.

We trace the line's route, listen for the leak with acoustic ground microphones, and use pressure testing to confirm which section is losing water. Once it's pinpointed, the repair is a small excavation instead of a dug-up yard. If the line is old and has leaked before, replacing the whole run may be the better long-term choice, and we'll tell you so.

Signs of a hidden leak

  • A higher city water bill with no change in use
  • Water stains, bubbling paint or soft drywall
  • A musty smell inside a cabinet or closet
  • A soggy patch of yard, or a strip of greener grass in dry weather
  • Water pressure lower than usual
  • A well pump short-cycling or running with no demand

After the leak is found

Finding the leak is half the job. We repair it the same way we'd want it done in our own house: cut back to sound pipe, use the right fittings for the material, support the line properly and pressure test it before closing anything up. If the leak was in a wall or ceiling, we keep the opening tidy so drywall repair is simple. If the house sits empty for stretches, ask about a smart shutoff valve that closes the main on its own when it senses water flowing where it shouldn't.

Why Mustang calls us for water leak detection

Since 1985

Pinpointing, not guessing

Our plumbing experience goes back to 1985, including finding leaks. We narrow a leak down with meter readings and pressure isolation before any tool touches a wall, then uses acoustic and thermal equipment to pinpoint it. In a Mustang yard where the soil swallows water, that process is what keeps the repair to one small hole instead of a trench across the lawn or a row of holes in the drywall.

Licensed

City water or private well

Some Mustang homes have a city meter at the curb. Others have a well, a pressure tank and a long buried line to the house. As licensed plumbers, we work on both kinds of systems, so we know where each one tends to leak, how to test it without guesswork, and how to repair it so the fix lasts. Either way, you get a clear explanation of what we found and what it takes to fix it.

24/7

Fast help once water is showing

By the time a leak is visible, it has usually been running for a while. We answer 24/7, help you shut off the water, and get to work finding the source. We're licensed and insured with a 4.9-star rating from 88 Google reviews, and we repair the leak once we find it, so you aren't left calling a second company to finish the job.

These guys were great! A breath of fresh air from the usual contractor/service. They cared about fixing the problem not how much they can charge. I had a same day service need, leak in between floors, the day before a trip. They came out same day and presented multiple solutions as well as keen explanations.

Mr. Robert has amazing customer service and work ethic. He fixed our toilet very quickly and explained everything that he was doing, and even showed us the finished product. Awesome work!

AshaGoogle review

After having issues with my bathroom and kitchen plumbing for a few days, I contacted Plumber Oklahoma City, OK Plumbing & Repair this morning. He told me he was very busy, but would work to schedule our repair in with his team.

Water Leak Detection in Mustang: common questions

How do I know if my leak is underground?

Close the main valve where the water enters your house, then watch the city meter. If the meter or its leak indicator keeps moving with that valve shut, the leak is most likely in the buried line between the meter and the house. On a well, a pump that keeps cycling with the house valve closed points to the line from the well.

Can you find a leak without tearing up my yard or walls?

Usually, yes. We use meter tests, pressure isolation, acoustic listening and thermal imaging to narrow the leak to a small area before opening anything. In Mustang's well-drained soils that matters, because water often doesn't surface right above the leak. The goal is one small, targeted opening for the repair.
