Moore, Oklahoma
A sudden jump in your Moore water bill is the most common reason people call us for water leak detection in Moore. Often nothing looks wet. The leak is underground in the service line between the meter box and the house, inside a wall, or in a sprinkler zone that only runs at 4 a.m. We find it with testing, not guesswork, and repair it.

(405) 309-1873Leaks are rarely dramatic. EPA WaterSense estimates that the average household's leaks can waste more than 9,300 gallons a year, and that nine percent of homes have leaks wasting 50 gallons or more every day. Most of that never shows as a puddle. It runs out of a toilet flapper, a dripping valve, a cracked sprinkler line or a pinhole in a buried pipe, and you pay for every gallon on your Moore Public Works Authority bill.
Every one of those gallons has a cost behind it. The city pumps from 23 groundwater wells and buys additional treated water from Oklahoma City, according to its 2025 water quality report. A leak is water that was pumped, treated and delivered to your meter, and it is billed to you whether you used it or not.
The pipe most likely to leak without a trace is the service line that runs from the meter box near the street to where water enters your house. It is buried in clay, and the Oklahoma Geological Survey notes that expansive soil in this state can do major damage as it swells and shrinks. That movement strains older copper and plastic service lines and the fittings at each end. A leak there often soaks straight down into the ground, so the first sign is the bill.
Rebuilt lots deserve a second look. After the May 20, 2013 tornado, NWS Norman documented EF4 to EF5 damage at over 300 Moore homes, and many of those sites were cleared and built again. A new house may have been connected to the original service line in the yard, which means the newest home on the street can have one of its oldest pipes.
Our underground water leak detection isolates the service line with a pressure test, then traces it with a line locator and listens along its length with acoustic equipment to find the point where water is escaping. We mark that spot, so the repair is one small excavation instead of a trench.
Water Leak Detection in Moore, any hour
Call now. We cover Moore 24/7, weekends and holidays included.
If your home has had more than one hidden leak, ask us about a smart shutoff valve on the main. It watches for unusual flow and can close the water on its own while you are at work or away.

Local, licensed and insured
40+ yrs
Our 40-plus years in the trade have taught us that the first rule of leak detection is to know where the leak is before cutting drywall or digging a yard. We use the meter to confirm a leak, isolate the house, yard and irrigation, then pinpoint with acoustic and thermal tools. You get a marked spot and a plan instead of a row of exploratory holes.
Licensed
Some leak detection companies only find leaks and leave you to hire a plumber for the repair. We do both. We are a licensed and insured plumbing company, so the same crew that locates a leaking service line or a pinhole in a wall can fix it. Financing is available when the repair turns into a line replacement.
24/7
Most hidden leaks can wait a day, but a soggy ceiling or water bubbling up in the yard cannot. We answer 24/7, and a same-day leak search is often available in Moore. We will tell you on the phone how to shut off the water at the house or the meter so the damage and the bill both stop growing. Customers rate us 4.9 stars across 88 Google reviews.

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!
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.

Turn off every faucet, appliance and the irrigation system, then look at the meter in the box near the street. Most meters have a small leak indicator, often a triangle or dial, that spins when any water is flowing. If it moves with everything off, you have a leak somewhere between the meter and your fixtures. Write down the reading, wait an hour, and check again.
The service line on the house side of the meter is generally the homeowner's to maintain, while the utility maintains its meter and the main. If you are not sure where the line is or who owns a section, the Moore Public Works Authority can tell you about its side, and we can locate and repair the private portion.
Yes, and it is one of the easiest leaks to miss because the system often runs before dawn. A cracked head, a broken lateral line or a valve that will not close can lose a lot of water without leaving obvious puddles in clay soil that drains slowly. We test the irrigation separately from the house to rule it in or out.
