What We Do

Ground loop repair that helps Home Owners restore loop pressure and system performance

Covering leak detection, tracer methods, loop patching, section replacement, pressure testing, and fluid refill

  • Leak Detection & Loop Patching

    Locate leaks with tracer and pressure diagnostics, then patch sections to restore continuity.

  • Pressure Testing & Fluid Refill

    Pressure testing validates repairs, then flush and refill loop fluids to restore circulation.

Why Denver Geothermal

Pressure-tested leak diagnostics with itemized repair plans

Undetected loop leaks cause pressure loss, contamination, and system failure without accurate diagnostics and testing.

Common Challenges

  • Hard-to-locate leaks under rocky foothill yards

    Rocky foothill terrain and granite outcrops make locating leaks unpredictable, extending pressure loss.

  • Pressure drops causing reduced heating performance

    Loop pressure drops reduce heat transfer, causing uneven temperatures and higher energy use if ignored.

  • Risk of fluid contamination during repairs

    Contaminated loop fluids reduce heat transfer and may force flushing or partial section replacement.

How We Help

  • Accurate leak location with tracer methods

    Tracer dye and pressure diagnostics pinpoint leaks to limit excavation and speed section repairs.

  • Pressure hold testing to confirm repairs

    We perform a 72-hour pressure hold test to confirm repair integrity and prevent immediate recurrence.

  • Minimal yard disruption and targeted repairs

    Focused diagnostics localize work, limiting excavation to small trenches and preserving landscape in older yards.

  • Documented repair plan and commissioning checklist

    You receive an itemized repair plan, pressure test records, and a commissioning checklist to verify loop function post-repair.

Who We Help

Owners and managers needing accurate loop repair and minimal disruption

  • Homeowners with mid-century ranches facing pressure loss

    Mid-century ranch owners in Lakewood often face shallow yards and rocky soil; we limit excavation and restore heating with targeted repairs.

  • Foothill single-family owners with granite outcrops

    Foothill properties near Green Mountain need detection methods adapted to granite outcrops and limited access for drilling.

  • Townhome owners managing shared geothermal loops

    Townhome complexes require coordinated diagnostics and documented repair plans for HOA review and shared system continuity.

How We Work

How ground loop repair works

A clear three-step approach from assessment to verified commissioning ensures minimal disruption and confirmed loop integrity.

  1. Site assessment

    We inspect system alarms, perform pressure checks, and use tracer methods to locate leaks while noting yard and soil constraints.

  2. Written estimate

    We provide an itemized repair plan showing excavation needs, parts, and commissioning tests for your approval before work begins.

  3. Repair & testing

    Work includes patching or section replacement, pressure hold tests, fluid refill, and a commissioning checklist to confirm loop integrity.

About This Service

About this Service

Ground loop repair in Lakewood addresses leaks buried under foothill rocky terrain and variable soil depths, often near granite outcrops. This service suits mid‑century ranches, foothill single‑family homes, and townhomes where loop pressure loss or decreased heating and cooling performance indicates a damaged ground loop.

Rocky soils and granite outcrops change the repair approach: locating a leak begins with pressure testing and tracer methods, but exposed rock can restrict trenching and force vertical access or small coring operations. Repairs may require specialized drilling rigs or concrete cutting to reach a damaged vertical bore. Where trenching is possible, targeted excavation and fusion splicing or section replacement restore continuity. Pressure testing to system design values and a fluid flush/refill complete the validation step.

Expect higher mobilization needs and additional access planning in Lakewood because equipment for coring or deep drilling may be necessary. The diagnostic write‑up will specify whether horizontal patching is feasible, if vertical bore re‑entry is required, and possible scheduling windows to avoid freeze or heavy snow periods that complicate rock cutting and site restoration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about ground loop leaks, repairs, and Lakewood permitting

Answers focus on consequences, process, and local considerations for Lakewood foothill properties.

Ignoring a leak can worsen pressure loss, allow fluid contamination, and eventually require full-loop replacement. Later repairs often cost thousands and cause major landscaping disruption. Early detection limits excavation and reduces overall repair scope.
Delaying testing lets pressure loss continue, reducing efficiency and increasing component wear. Longer delays raise the chance of fluid contamination and larger repairs that are more disruptive and costly.
Lakewood may require excavation or drilling permits for vertical work or significant staging. Check Lakewood Building Services or contact us to confirm permit needs before scheduling.
We use pressure diagnostics, tracer dye, and targeted sondes to pinpoint leaks. These methods confine excavation to the affected section and avoid full-yard disruption.
We flush and refill loop fluids to manufacturer concentrations, record fluid type, and test circulation. All fluids and concentrations are documented for maintenance and warranty records.
Small section patches often finish within a day. Complex replacements or work needing rock removal and permits can take several days. We include a timeline in the written estimate.
