Commercial Leak Repairs At Devereaux Mansion

Our leak location team saves the day.

Our leak repair contractors are quickly gaining a reputation as Utah’s best leak detection team. This last week we were called to the locally famous Devereaux Mansion to find an underground leak. It was a remarkable job for us to provide emergency pipe repair services for a historic site in Salt Lake City. The Devereaux Mansion was the first home built in the Salt Lake Valley with a large enough scale to be considered a mansion. More importantly, it was a meeting place between Brigham Young and Governor Alfred Cummings to resolve The Utah War.

Commercial leak repair project

The property management company representatives responsible for the mansion called us to the site. They were dealing with a large underground water leak that needed to be located and fixed quickly. Other companies were called previously and could not find the source of the leaking water. Plumbing Utah Heating & Air arrived on the scene and found the source of the problem within 2 hours of arrival. You may ask yourself, “Why could we find the leak when others couldn’t?” The answer is a combination of experienced technicians and the right equipment. We utilize top-of-the-line equipment for finding and repairing water, air, gas, and sewer leaks. For this job, we used high-end acoustic and tracer leak detection technology. This allows us to pinpoint the depth and location of the damaged water main.

How the leak was repaired

Once the source of the problem was found, we carefully excavated the property and repaired the pipe within 4 hours. The culprit was a 3-inch soft copper water main leaking thousands of gallons daily. When that much water leaks, it must be repaired quickly. Not only do unattended water leaks cost money, they can lead to significant structural damage, potentially costing hundreds of thousands of dollars to repair. It was essential to our team that we worked quickly yet cleanly. After all, we would want the beautiful landscape of the Mansion to be intact. 

Don’t let a leak wait around.
