Emergency Leak Detection and Repair in Castle Rock, CO
Water is moving and you can’t stop it. Close the main valve first, then call us. We tell you how to limit the damage while you wait, find the source, and show you your repair options.
⚠ Do This First
Do this first: stop the water
1
Close the main valve. It is usually near where the water line enters the house, often in a basement, garage, utility room or crawl space. Turn it clockwise until it stops.
2
Open a low faucet to let remaining water drain, if it is safe to do so.
3
Stay out of standing water if it could reach outlets, cords or the electrical panel. If it might, shut off power at the panel only if you can reach it dry. Otherwise stay out and call an electrician or your utility.
4
Move valuables and lift rugs or furniture out of the wet area.
5
Take photos of the damage and the source for your insurance company.
6
Call us. (303) 555-0147
If your meter sits in a pit with a metal lid, do not open it in cold weather. Opening it lets warm air out and can freeze pipes.
If you can't close the house valve, call us and Castle Rock Water.
Know The Difference
What counts as a leak emergency
A slow drip or a damp spot is still worth fixing quickly, but it is not the same as active flooding.
Water spraying, pouring or flooding from a pipe, ceiling or wall
A burst or frozen pipe that has split
A main line break with water surfacing in the yard
A meter running fast with the house valve closed
Water near electrical outlets, the panel or the water heater
A water heater that is leaking steadily

Why speed matters
Water keeps damaging drywall, insulation, flooring and framing while it runs, and damp materials can grow mold, often within days to weeks. Every extra hour adds repair cost and raises the chance of larger damage.
Cold snaps and frozen pipes
Uninsulated pipes in outside walls, garages and crawl spaces freeze first. If a pipe has frozen, do not use open flame to thaw it. Close the main valve and call us. See also our Burst Pipe Repair page.

After the visit you get a written report with photos, the cause and the location of the leak. It is the record your insurance company will want, and a record you can show Castle Rock Water if you ask about a bill adjustment. We cannot promise a credit.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about emergency leak repair in Castle Rock
What should I do first if I find water?
Close the main valve, then call us. If water could reach outlets or the panel, stay out of it and shut off power only if you can reach the panel dry. Take photos of the damage for your insurer.
Where is my main water shutoff?
Usually near where the water line enters the house, often in a basement, garage, utility room or crawl space. Find it now, before you need it, and make sure everyone in the house knows where it is.
Can you come out the same day?
Same-day when we have an opening. Call us and we tell you how to limit the damage while you wait.
How do you find the source of an emergency leak?
We check the meter and pressure first, then use acoustic listening, thermal imaging and moisture mapping to narrow the spot, and confirm with a second method before anyone cuts.
Will Castle Rock Water adjust my bill if I had a leak?
You may qualify for a leak adjustment. Check your bill’s eligibility with Castle Rock Water. Keep a written record of the leak and the repair, and ask what documents they want, since we cannot promise a credit.
Does homeowners insurance cover a burst pipe or sudden leak?
Policies differ. Many cover sudden water damage but not always the cost of finding the leak or repairing the pipe itself. Check your policy or ask your insurer, and keep our report with photos for the claim.
