Warning Signs

How to tell if you have a hidden water leak

Most plumbing leaks occur out of sight behind walls or beneath concrete. If you observe any of these 6 signs, schedule a diagnostic inspection immediately:

Unexplained Water Bill Spikes

If your municipal water bill jumps unexpectedly while your household usage stays the same, pressurized water is constantly escaping.

Sound of Running Water

Hearing water hissing, humming, or running behind walls or under floors when every single faucet, toilet, and appliance is turned off.

Warm Spots on Flooring

Feeling noticeably warm areas on tile, hardwood, or carpet indicates a hot water supply line ruptured under your foundation slab.

Damp Carpet & Moldy Baseboards

Water seeping up from under floorboards causes wood warping, peeling baseboard paint, and unexplained moisture along hallway perimeters.

Spinning Water Meter Dial

Shut off all water in the house. If the triangular leak indicator on your outdoor water meter continues to spin, you have an active leak.

Musty Odors & Hidden Mold

Persistent mildew smells or dark mold spots spreading along walls indicate slow, continuous water seepage inside building cavities.

Advanced Diagnostics

How we find leaks without destroying your home

Old-fashioned plumbers guess where a leak is by knocking holes in walls or jackhammering flooring. Our team uses military-grade acoustic sensors, FLIR infrared thermal cameras, and inert gas line pressure testing to pinpoint the exact inch where water is escaping before touching your property.

  • Acoustic Listening Devices: Hears water hissing deep beneath foundation slabs
  • Thermal Imaging Cameras: Identifies invisible temperature drops behind drywall
  • Save Finished Flooring: Enables non-invasive overhead PEX pipe rerouting

Suspect a slab leak?

Don't let foundation damage worsen. We provide complete diagnostic reports for your home insurance adjuster.

FAQ

Frequently asked leak detection questions

How much does professional leak detection cost in Atlanta, GA?

Professional non-invasive leak detection in Metro Atlanta typically ranges from $250 to $600 depending on the property layout, slab thickness, and diagnostic complexity. Once the exact source is pinpointed, the technician provides a clear, written estimate for the repair. No surprises.

Can you find a leak without tearing up my walls or concrete floor?

Yes, absolutely. We use state-of-the-art non-invasive technology including acoustic listening microphones, helium tracer gas, and FLIR thermal infrared cameras. We pinpoint the exact spot of the leak before any concrete or drywall is touched.

What is a slab leak and why are they common in Atlanta homes?

A slab leak is a rupture in the copper water supply lines installed underneath a home’s concrete foundation slab. They are common in older Atlanta homes because shifting Georgia red clay, acidic soil minerals, and water pressure surges cause copper lines to rub against concrete and develop pinhole fractures.

Does homeowner’s insurance cover slab leak detection and repair in Georgia?

Most Georgia homeowners insurance policies cover the "tear-out" access costs and consequential water damage restoration (flooring, drywall, mold mitigation). However, the plumbing pipe repair itself is usually the homeowner’s responsibility. We provide detailed diagnostic documentation and photos for your insurance adjuster.

Can a slab leak be repaired without breaking my expensive tile or hardwood?

Yes. Instead of jackhammering through expensive finished flooring, our licensed plumbers often perform a "pipe reroute." We abandon the damaged pipe under the slab and run a durable new PEX water line overhead through walls or attics with minimal disruption.

Water meter spinning or bill unusually high?
