How we work

How leak detection works

  1. 1

    Confirm there is a leak

    We verify with the meter and isolate sections of the system so we are not chasing a symptom.

  2. 2

    Locate it precisely

    We narrow the leak to a specific point before cutting into slab, wall, or ceiling.

  3. 3

    Repair and dry out

    We make the repair and, when water has already soaked the structure, handle extraction and drying so mold does not follow.

The details

Burst pipes and slab leaks

A burst pipe is an emergency: shut off the main and contact us right away, at any hour. The faster the water stops, the less structural drying is needed afterward.

Slab leaks are quieter but just as damaging. Warm flooring, unexplained moisture, and constant water heater cycling are common tells, and we repair them directly.

Finding a hidden leak without tearing up the house

A jump in the water bill, a warm spot on the floor, the sound of running water with everything off, or a musty smell usually means a hidden leak. We use acoustic and pressure-based leak detection to locate the point of failure before opening a wall or slab, so the access hole is the size of a repair rather than a demolition.

Slab leaks are common in Atlanta homes built on concrete. Depending on the location and the pipe condition, the fix is either a spot repair, a rerouted line, or repiping the affected run.

Burst pipes and water damage restoration

For a burst pipe, close the main shutoff first, then call. Once the line is repaired we can move straight into extraction, drying, and repair, which is where most of the cost of a leak actually lands.

We document moisture readings and the affected area for insurance, and we work with claims on restoration jobs.
