Leak Detection in Alpharetta, GA
A higher water bill, a musty smell, or a warm spot on the floor can all point to a leak you can't see. We use electronic leak-tracing equipment to find it without guessing or opening up walls unnecessarily.
A leak you can hear or see is usually further along than one that's still hidden, so we'd rather check a suspicion early than wait for visible damage.
Most tracing visits take under an hour, and you'll know before we open anything whether the fix is simple or more involved.
If your water bill has jumped and you can't explain why, that alone is reason enough to call, even without any visible sign of a leak anywhere in the house.

What Brings Alpharetta Homeowners To This Page
Unexplained Water Bill Increase
A sudden jump with no change in household use is one of the most common leak signals.
Sound Of Running Water
Water audible in a wall or floor with no fixture running is a common early sign.
Warm Spots On The Floor
Can indicate a hot water line leak beneath a slab.
Musty Smell Or Damp Spots
Moisture with no obvious source often means a slow leak nearby.
What This Looks Like In Alpharetta
Alpharetta's red clay soil shifts with moisture, which can stress buried supply lines over years and contribute to slow, hard-to-spot leaks outside the home's footprint.
Homes near Alpharetta's historic core with older galvanized supply lines are more prone to pinhole leaks from internal corrosion than newer PEX systems in later subdivisions.
A leak that's been running for a while can inflate a water bill substantially before it's ever visible indoors, which is why an unexplained bill increase is worth checking out even without visible water.

Only if tracing confirms it's necessary, and only the section needed to reach the leak. We explain what we're opening and why before we start.
It narrows the location significantly compared to guessing, though final confirmation happens once we can access the area. Most jobs need only one access point once the location is confirmed, which keeps repair costs and cleanup to a minimum.
Yes, especially if it's gone unnoticed for a while. If there's already visible damage, our water damage restoration line handles the cleanup and drying separately from the leak repair itself.
Repairs follow the Georgia State Minimum Standard Plumbing Code, based on the current International Plumbing Code with state amendments; whether a permit applies depends on the scope of the fix.
