Infrared Leak Detection in Denver
Non-Invasive Leak Location for Denver Homes & Businesses
Hidden leaks don’t announce themselves. By the time a wet spot appears on your ceiling or your water bill spikes, moisture may have been collecting behind your walls for weeks. Infrared leak detection uses thermal imaging cameras to locate hidden water leaks without cutting into surfaces, so the only access point is the one that actually needs repair. Allen Service has served Denver-area homeowners and commercial customers since 1962, and our plumbing team brings this technology into a full-service operation that can detect, repair, and restore through one company.
Jeff and Mike Allen, third-generation owners of Allen Service, lead a team that receives continual training on modern diagnostic tools, including thermal imaging. When you call us for infrared leak detection in Denver, you’re working with the same family-owned company your neighbors have trusted for over six decades.
Suspect a hidden leak? Call Allen Service at (970) 431-6574 to schedule infrared leak detection. Same-day service is available, and our team responds 24/7 for plumbing emergencies.
What Sets Allen Service Apart for Leak Detection
Our trucks arrive fully stocked, which means most jobs are handled on the first visit without a return trip for parts. Same-day scheduling and 24/7 emergency response mean you don’t have to wait while water continues to spread through your structure.
The bigger difference is what happens after the leak is found. Most detection services end with a report. Ours ends with a repaired pipe and, when moisture has already reached surrounding materials, a restoration team that handles water damage cleanup, mold inspections, and mold removal. You won’t need to coordinate a separate contractor for each phase.
Protection and Respect Guarantee:
Every technician wears shoe covers, protects your work area, refrains from tobacco use on-site, and communicates clearly throughout the job. If our team doesn’t meet those standards, you receive four years of Service Membership at no charge.

How Thermal Imaging Locates Hidden Water Leaks
Thermal imaging cameras detect infrared energy rather than visible light. On a surface scan, moisture that’s evaporating creates a temperature difference that appears as a distinct pattern on the camera’s display. That pattern shows where water may be present without requiring a single hole in the drywall or a single cut in the concrete.
Our technicians pair the thermal camera with moisture meters to confirm what the images show. The camera identifies where temperature anomalies exist; the meter confirms actual saturation levels and reduces false positives from insulation gaps or cold air drafts. Together, these tools help locate leaks in hot and cold water supply lines, HVAC condensation lines, and slab leaks where a pipe runs beneath a concrete foundation. Accurate interpretation requires trained technicians, not just the equipment itself.
Why Denver Homes Are Particularly Vulnerable to Hidden Leaks
Denver’s freeze-thaw cycle is hard on plumbing. Pipes that hold through summer heat can develop cracks during January cold snaps, and that slow leak may run undetected for weeks beneath a slab or behind a finished wall. Spring snowmelt and summer storms saturate Denver’s expansive clay soils, which swell dramatically when wet and contract as they dry. That repeated ground movement stresses underground lines and pipe joints in foundations in ways that aren’t visible from inside the home.
Older Denver neighborhoods add another layer of risk. Homes with galvanized steel supply lines or cast iron drain pipes are at or past their expected service life, making hidden corrosion leaks more common in those areas. Denver Water’s tiered rate structure means an undetected leak doesn’t just waste water; it drives up utility costs progressively until it’s resolved. Infrared leak detection is a practical response to conditions that are genuinely local.
