Atlanta Leak Detection and Repair

Accurate Diagnostics and Effective Solutions in North Metro Atlanta

A dripping faucet that you can see is annoying, but a leak you can't see is dangerous. Hidden water leakage destroys foundations, rots structural framing, fuels toxic mold growth, and racks up water bills that can cost thousands before you even realize there's a problem. By the time water stains appear on your ceiling or you notice a soft spot in your floor, the damage has often spread far beyond the visible signs. 

Smith & Johnson Certified Plumbing can offer you professional leak detection and repair services to locate hidden leaks and stop them before they cause catastrophic damage to your Atlanta home or business. Our plumbers use advanced diagnostic technology to pinpoint leaks inside walls, beneath foundations, underground, and in other inaccessible areas where traditional methods fail. We don't just find leaks, we fix them right the first time with repairs backed by our two-year parts and labor warranty.

How We Find Leaks Others Miss

Store-bought leak detectors and DIY troubleshooting can identify obvious surface leaks like dripping fixtures or visible pipe connections, but they're completely ineffective against the most destructive types of leakage. Seepage inside walls, beneath concrete slabs, in crawl spaces, or along underground sewer lines remains invisible until significant damage forces it into the open. That's why so many Atlanta property owners waste time and money trying to solve leak problems on their own before finally calling in the professionals.

Smith & Johnson Certified Plumbing invests in commercial-grade leak detection equipment that delivers accurate results the first time. Our acoustic sensors detect the distinct sound signature of water escaping from pressurized pipes, even when those pipes are buried underground or encased in concrete. Thermal imaging cameras reveal temperature variations caused by water seepage behind walls and ceilings, showing us exactly where moisture is accumulating before it becomes visible. Our sewer camera inspections identify cracks, root intrusion, and deterioration in underground lines that cause slow but steady leakage. Moisture meters measure hidden water levels in building materials, confirming the extent of damage and helping us track leaks to their source.

This technology, combined with our team's experience and systematic diagnostic approach, allows us to locate leaks that other plumbers miss entirely. We don't rely on guesswork or destructive exploratory methods that tear into your walls unnecessarily. Instead, we pinpoint problems, minimize property disruption, and complete targeted repairs that address the actual source of your leak.

Types of Plumbing Leaks We Detect and Repair

Different types of leaks require different detection methods and repair approaches. Understanding where water can escape from your plumbing system can help you stay vigilant and recognize key warning signs.

Smith & Johnson Certified Plumbing locates and repairs all types of plumbing leaks, including:

• Slab leaks. Water or sewer lines that run beneath your concrete foundation can develop leaks from corrosion, ground movement, or poor installation, causing foundation damage, unexplained water bills, and warm spots on floors.
• Supply line leaks. Pressurized pipes that deliver fresh water throughout your property can crack, corrode, or develop pinhole leaks that spray water inside walls, ceilings, and crawl spaces, where it can go unnoticed for weeks.
• Drain and sewer line leaks. Wastewater pipes that leak inside walls or underground release contaminated water that creates health hazards, foul odors, and attracts pests while slowly damaging your property's structure.
• Water heater leaks. Failing tanks, corroded connections, or damaged pressure relief valves can leak steadily without producing visible puddles, causing hidden water damage in utility areas and adjacent rooms.
• Fixture and appliance leaks. Toilets, washing machines, dishwashers, and water-using appliances can develop slow leaks at connections or through deteriorated seals that release water gradually into floors and cabinets.
• Outdoor and irrigation leaks. Underground sprinkler lines, exterior hose connections, and buried water service lines can leak for months before creating visible wet spots, sinkholes, or dramatic water bill increases.

No matter where water is escaping from your plumbing system, Smith & Johnson Certified Plumbing has the expertise and equipment to find it quickly and fix it permanently. Our comprehensive approach stops damage before it spreads and protects your property from the devastating effects of undetected water leakage.
