Leak Detection & Repair
One call handles both halves. We find the leak and repair it the same trip, so you are not hiring two companies for one problem.
Slab Leak Repair
A leak under the foundation only gets worse and more expensive; we locate it, then repair or re-route the line with the least cutting possible.

Frequently Asked Questions About Leak Detection In Surprise, AZ
How do plumbers find a hidden water leak?
Hidden leaks are located with non-invasive equipment: acoustic listening devices, thermal imaging, pressure testing, and line tracing. Nothing gets cut open until we know where the leak is.
The goal is to narrow the leak down to a specific spot rather than opening walls or slab to go looking for it. We start by isolating the system and watching the meter to confirm water is actually escaping, then work section by section until the source is pinned down. In West Valley homes, hidden leaks most often show up in supply lines under slab, in wall lines behind bathrooms, and at aging copper joints. Finding it precisely is what keeps the repair small.
What are the signs of a hidden water leak?
A water bill that jumped without explanation, the sound of running water when every fixture is off, damp or discolored drywall, a musty smell, low water pressure, and a meter that keeps moving with nothing turned on are the most common signs.
Any one of those on its own can have another explanation. Two or three together usually means water is escaping somewhere you cannot see. There is a quick check you can run at home: shut off every fixture in the house, then look at the water meter. If the dial is still moving, water is going somewhere it should not. Call us at (623) 203-4415 and we will find it.
Can you find a leak without tearing up my floors or walls?
Yes. Detection works from the outside in, using listening equipment, thermal imaging, and pressure testing to narrow the leak to a specific spot before anything is opened.
Cutting into finished surfaces to go hunting is the old way of doing it, and it is expensive for the homeowner, because the final bill ends up including drywall, tile, and flooring on top of the plumbing. Accurate detection flips that around. By the time we open anything, we already know what is behind it. In most cases that means one small access point instead of several exploratory holes.
How much does leak detection cost in Surprise, AZ?
Leak detection is usually priced as a flat diagnostic fee rather than an hourly rate, and the cost depends on how much of the system has to be isolated and tested.
We quote the detection up front so you know what you are committing to before we start, and we tell you what we find in plain language, including the repair options and what each one costs. If detection turns into a repair on the same visit, we will tell you how that affects the total before any work begins. The one thing we will not do is guess at a number over the phone. An honest quote requires knowing what we are dealing with.
Why is my water bill suddenly so high?
A water bill that jumps with no change in household use is one of the strongest indicators of a hidden leak. In Surprise homes it is most often a slab leak, an irrigation line, or a running toilet.
Start with the toilets, since a silent flapper leak is the cheapest item on that list to rule out. If those check out, shut off every fixture and watch the meter. Movement with nothing running means water is escaping between the meter and the house or inside the walls. That is worth finding quickly, because an underground or under-slab leak keeps billing you every day it runs, and it can undermine soil and flooring while it does.
What are the signs of a slab leak?
Warm spots on the floor, the sound of running water when everything is off, unexplained damp flooring, a spinning water meter with no fixtures in use, and a water bill that jumped without explanation are the most common signs of a slab leak.
Slab leaks are common in the West Valley because so much of the housing stock is built on post-tension and conventional slab with supply lines running underneath. Arizona’s hard water and soil movement both work against copper over time. The problem is that a slab leak can run for months before anyone notices, and by then the damage is under the flooring. If you are seeing any of the signs above, it is worth getting the line checked before it becomes a much larger repair.
Do you offer same-day or emergency leak detection in Surprise, AZ?
Yes. Same-day and next-morning appointments are available across Surprise and the broader West Valley, and active emergencies like burst pipes or flooding get priority dispatch.
When you call Iggy Do Plumbing at (623) 203-4415, a real person picks up rather than an automated system, and we will give you an honest availability window on the spot. We serve Surprise, Peoria, Glendale, El Mirage, Sun City, Sun City West, Goodyear, and surrounding areas. If water is actively running, we can walk you through shutting off the main supply while we are on the way. That one step saves more money than anything else you can do before we arrive.
How long does leak detection take?
Most leak detection is finished within an hour of arrival. Larger homes, irrigation lines, and leaks that turn out to be under slab can take longer.
Detection time depends on how much of the system has to be isolated and ruled out. A leak with obvious surface symptoms narrows down quickly. A leak that shows up only as a moving meter takes longer, because we work through the system section by section until it is pinned down. Either way, we tell you what we found before we leave, along with a firm written price for the repair.
Do you repair the leak after you find it?
Yes. We handle both halves, so you are not hiring a detection company and then a separate plumber. Most accessible repairs are completed on the same visit.
Once the leak is located, we show you what we found and quote the repair before anything gets cut. From there we handle supply lines, wall lines, joints, slab leaks, pipe re-routes, and whole-home repiping. If the problem turns out to be a fixture, drain, or water heater rather than a pipe, we cover those as well. See our plumbing repair services, or just call and describe what you are seeing.
Are you licensed and insured in Arizona?
Yes. Iggy Do Plumbing holds a valid Arizona ROC license (No. 333399) and is fully insured for both liability and workmanship.
This matters more than usual on leak work, because that is exactly the kind of job a homeowner’s insurance claim tends to hinge on. Unlicensed work is often excluded from coverage, and it can create problems if you ever sell the home. You can verify our license status anytime at the Arizona Registrar of Contractors website (azroc.gov). If something is not right, we stand behind our work and come back to make it right.
What areas do you serve?
Iggy Do Plumbing is based in Surprise, AZ and serves the entire West Valley and surrounding communities. Our service area includes Surprise, Peoria, Glendale, El Mirage, Sun City, Sun City West, Youngtown, Goodyear, Avondale, Buckeye, and Litchfield Park.
We know the West Valley well: the neighborhoods, the housing stock, the hard water that shortens the life of copper, and the slab construction that makes under-floor leaks so common here. If you are not sure whether you fall within our range, just call us at (623) 203-4415 and we will let you know. We don’t charge travel fees within our core service area.
Will you repair any holes you make to get to the leaks?
We’ll always communicate clearly before cutting into any wall, ceiling, or floor, and we work to minimize access points wherever possible, using the smallest opening that gets the job done.
That said, drywall patching, tile repair, and finish restoration are generally outside the scope of plumbing work and are typically handled by a separate contractor. This is standard practice across the trade, since plumbers are licensed for plumbing rather than general construction. Accurate detection is what keeps this to a minimum: the better we locate the leak, the smaller the opening has to be. If you need a referral to a trusted drywall or tile contractor in the West Valley to close things up afterward, we’re happy to point you in the right direction.
