About vacation home leak detection in Vail
Vail is full of second homes and short-term rentals that sit empty for days or weeks. A small leak that would be spotted in a lived-in house can run unchecked — and a freeze in an unheated stretch can split a line.
We investigate the property, locate the source and give owners and property managers a clear explanation of what was found — whether you're on site or not.

A methodical search from the most likely source outward — so repairs go to the right place.

Bill changes, damp spots, sounds, pressure drops, a freeze — the history tells us where to look first.
We check the property
The meter, fixtures, accessible plumbing, mechanical areas and any affected spots are checked methodically.
We narrow down the location
Findings pin the leak to a specific area — a fixture, a wall, a floor section or a stretch of buried line.

The Vail factor
Owners often discover problems only on the next visit. A meter check when you leave — and one when you return — is a simple habit that can reveal a leak early.
