What Makes You Think You Have a Water Leak?

If any of this sounds familiar, it’s worth getting checked before the problem grows:
High Water Bill. A water bill that jumps without an obvious reason — no new appliances, no extra guests, no change in habits — is one of the most common signs of a hidden leak. Water that never reaches a faucet or drain is water you’re still paying for.
Meter Keeps Running. If your water meter is still moving after every fixture in the house is off, water is escaping somewhere in the system, whether that’s inside the home, underground, or beneath a slab.
Wet or Warm Floor. A section of flooring that feels warm, damp, or soft — especially near a slab foundation — can indicate a leaking hot water line running beneath the concrete.
Water in the Yard. Soggy or unusually green patches of lawn, especially away from any sprinkler head, often point to a broken underground water line.
Running Water Sound. Hearing water move through the walls or floor when nothing is turned on is a signal worth acting on.
Low Water Pressure. A sudden or gradual pressure drop can mean water is being diverted through a break somewhere in the line before it reaches your fixtures.
Visible Moisture. Water stains, mold, or peeling paint on walls, ceilings, or baseboards can be the first visible sign of a leak that’s been developing out of sight.
Not Sure? That’s what we’re here for. If something feels off with your water usage, pressure, or your property, a professional inspection can tell you what’s actually happening before you start opening walls or floors on a guess.

Leak Detection Services

Water Leak Detection — Hidden leaks inside or around the property, located without unnecessary demolition.
Slab Leak Detection — Suspected water leaks beneath concrete foundations, identified through pressure and acoustic testing before any concrete is touched.
Underground Water Leak Detection — Buried water-line and yard leaks, pinpointed so digging is targeted rather than exploratory.
Commercial Leak Detection — Leak diagnosis for businesses, multifamily properties, and commercial buildings where unexplained water loss affects operations and cost.

Find the Leak Before Opening the Property

Guessing where a leak is hiding leads to unnecessary holes in walls, torn-up flooring, and broken-up concrete — sometimes in the wrong spot entirely. Our process is built to narrow the location first:
Pressure Testing
Isolate the System
Acoustic / Thermal / Other Diagnostics
Narrow the Location
Identify What Needs Attention
We use pressure testing, acoustic detection, thermal imaging, tracer gas, isolation testing, and meter testing — applying whichever combination fits the specific plumbing system and leak type. The goal at every step is the same: know where the problem is before anything gets opened up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common signs include a water bill that rises without explanation, a water meter that keeps moving when everything is off, warm or damp flooring, wet spots in the yard, the sound of running water when no fixtures are in use, and unexplained drops in water pressure. Any one of these on its own is worth investigating; more than one together usually means it’s time to schedule an inspection.

Yes. We use non-invasive diagnostic methods — including pressure testing, acoustic detection, thermal imaging, tracer gas, and isolation testing — to narrow down a leak’s location before any walls, floors, or concrete are opened. The goal is to know where the problem is first, so any necessary repair access is targeted rather than exploratory.

Slab leaks are typically located using a combination of pressure testing to confirm a leak exists in the system, acoustic equipment to listen for the sound of escaping water through the slab, and sometimes thermal imaging to detect temperature differences caused by a leaking hot water line. This lets us identify the approximate location before any concrete needs to be accessed.

If your meter is still moving with every fixture and appliance off, water is escaping somewhere in the system between the meter and your fixtures — this could be inside the home, underground in a yard line, or beneath a slab. It’s one of the clearest signs that a leak is present somewhere on the property.

Yes. An underground leak can run continuously, sometimes for weeks or months before it becomes visible above ground, which means it can raise your bill significantly before you notice any other symptoms.

Unexplained wet or soft patches in the lawn — particularly ones that are always wet regardless of weather — often indicate a broken or leaking underground water line running beneath that area.

Same-day inspections are often available depending on scheduling. We also offer 24-hour emergency service for situations that can’t wait. Call our team to check current availability.

Once we’ve identified the suspected source and location, we’ll walk you through what was found and what it means, so you have clear information to decide on next steps — whether that’s a repair through us or another provider of your choosing.

Yes. Our diagnostic process is designed to distinguish between leaks inside the home’s plumbing, leaks beneath a slab foundation, and leaks in underground water lines, since each requires a different approach to locate and address.

Yes. We work with businesses, property managers, and facility managers across Metro Atlanta on commercial leak detection for offices, retail spaces, multifamily properties, and other commercial buildings.
