Call (720) 731-0399Planning an investigation around the building
Ask which systems the provider can assess and what access or isolation is required. Findings should distinguish a confirmed leak from an area needing further investigation. Agree on reporting, photographs, and how disruptive testing or exploratory openings will be approved before work begins.

While you wait
Log where and when moisture appears. Notify tenants or staff in affected areas.
Price depends on access, parts and what the assessment finds, so ask for a written quote before you approve any work.
Questions about commercial leak detection
Is repair included in a detection visit?
Do not assume so. Detection may produce findings and a repair scope without completing the repair. Confirm the deliverable, any time allowance, and what requires a separate authorization.
Can the work happen outside business hours?
Ask the provider about scheduling and any additional charges. Availability is not confirmed on this website; access, security, and shutdown arrangements must be agreed with the building contact.
Will the investigation disrupt tenants?
It can, depending on where testing is needed. Ask for a plan that sets out which areas are affected and whether any water shutdowns are required.
Plan a commercial leak investigation
Share the building type and the person who can authorize work. Ask what written findings you will receive.
