Water leak detection in Roswell
Water leak detection in Roswell and North Metro Atlanta. The damage shows up in one place and the leak is somewhere else. Before anyone opens a wall or a floor, we narrow it down: which system, which line, roughly where. Tell us about the bill, the damp spot, or the sound of water with everything off. Call 770-597-4141.
Signs you need water leak detection
- The water bill climbed and you cannot point to a reason.
- A damp patch on a wall, ceiling or floor that comes back after drying.
- Running water you can hear with every fixture and appliance off.
- A warm spot on the floor along a line you cannot see.
- The meter moves overnight with the house asleep, so call before you cut drywall.
How we diagnose it
- 1Start with the patternContinuous, or only after a shower runs? Hot side or cold? Where does it show and where is it dry? Those answers cut the search in half.
- 2Isolate the systemSupply lines hold pressure and drains do not. A pressure test on the supply side and a camera in the drain side point to the right pipe.
- 3Mark it before anyone opens anythingWe narrow the leak to a wall, a slab area or a run of pipe and mark it. Then you get the repair options and a price for the access.
Your likely options
- Method
Fixture or connection repair
What it doesThe leak turns out to be a supply stop, a toilet fill valve or a connection under a sink. We fix it and you keep your walls.
When it applies- the damp spot sits near a fixture and the pressure test holds.
- Method
Targeted pipe repair
What it doesOne opening in the wall or ceiling at the marked spot, the failed section replaced, and a note on what the rest of the run looks like.
When it applies- a pinhole or a split in an otherwise sound line.
- Method
Under-slab or buried line
What it doesIf the leak is below the slab or out in the yard, detection ends and a different page begins: slab leak or main water line.
When it applies- the loss is on the supply side and nothing inside is wet.
What it costs
A visit to look at the problem. We tell you on the phone, before we schedule, whether that visit has a charge and what it is.
- How much of the house the search has to cover.
- Pressure test alone, or a camera in the drain side too.
- Detection only, or detection plus the repair.
A written scope and price for the repair, before we start. No work beyond that scope without your OK.
Find the leak before you open the wall
Tell us what you see, hear and pay for. We narrow the leak to a spot you can point at, then quote the repair.
Water leak detection questions
The leak comes and goes. Can you still find it?
Yes. Note when it shows and which fixtures were running. Do not flood the area to make it happen again. The pattern you give us is half the detection.
Does finding the leak include drying out the damage?
No. We find and fix the plumbing. Drying, mold and replacing drywall or flooring are separate trades, and we tell you when you need one.
Can you find a hidden leak without opening anything?
We narrow it from outside the wall; the repair still needs an opening at the spot. Narrowing first means one hole, not three. We tell you what the repair will disturb.
Do you charge to come out and look?
We tell you on the phone, before we schedule, whether the visit has a charge and what it is.
How soon can you come?
Call and we tell you straight; it depends on the day. For an active leak or backup, call rather than sending the form.
