Feel Confident in Your Plumbing
6 Signs You May Have a Hidden Leak
1. Sudden Spikes in Your Water Bill
Your usage stays the same, but your bill jumps 20%, 30%, or more. A hidden leak is wasting water 24 hours a day.
2. Aging or Corroded Pipes
Homes built before 2000 often have galvanized steel or polybutylene pipes that rust, crack, and develop leaks from the inside out.
3. Damp Spots or Puddles in the Yard
Water pooling on your property with no explanation usually means a broken water main line or sewer line leaking underground.
4. Musty Odors Indoors
Mold and mildew grow where moisture hides. If you smell it, water is leaking somewhere behind your walls or under your floors.
5. Stains or Discoloration
Brown or yellow marks on ceilings or walls mean water has been seeping from a hidden source long enough to show through.
6. Unexplained Drops in Water Pressure
Leaks and cracks in your plumbing reduce flow throughout your home. Lower pressure at fixtures means water is escaping somewhere.
Our Slab Leak Detection Process
Slab leaks hide under concrete foundations where you can’t see or reach them. We use thermal imaging, acoustic listening equipment, and video inspection to find the exact location of leaks beneath your floor. Then we repair the problem with the least amount of disruption to your home.
Here’s what you can expect from our slab leak detection and repair process:
Step 1: Inspection
We start with a thorough inspection of your plumbing system and foundation to identify signs of a slab leak, including warm spots on floors, sounds of running water, and pressure drops.
Step 2: Leak Detection Technology
To pinpoint the exact location under your concrete, we use thermal imaging cameras, acoustic listening devices, and video pipe inspection. This shows us where the leak is without breaking through your foundation in multiple places.
Step 3: Repair Options
Once we locate the leak, we explain your repair choices based on severity and location. Options include targeted pipe repair, rerouting pipes above ground, or epoxy pipe lining for certain situations. We walk you through costs and benefits of each approach.
Step 4: Prevention Recommendations
After the repair, we show you how to monitor for future issues and suggest maintenance steps to protect your plumbing system long-term. For homes with widespread pipe deterioration, we may recommend whole-house repiping to prevent recurring slab leaks.
Using these detection methods, we locate slab leaks faster and repair them with less damage to your property. You get your plumbing system back to working condition without tearing up your entire floor.

FAQ SECTION
Frequently Asked Questions About Leak Detection in Atlanta
How much does professional leak detection cost in Atlanta?
Leak detection pricing depends on your home’s plumbing layout and the methods needed to find the leak. We include leak detection at no extra charge when you hire us for the repair. Call (404) 850-3809 for a free consultation and quote.
How long does it take to find a hidden leak?
Most leak detection services take one to three hours depending on your home’s size and the leak’s location. Slab leaks and underground pipe leaks sometimes require more time to pinpoint accurately using thermal imaging and acoustic equipment.
Will you need to break through my walls or floors?
Usually not. Our thermal imaging cameras and acoustic listening devices locate most leaks without any demolition. When we do need to access pipes, we make the smallest opening possible and coordinate complete drywall repair as part of the service.
What causes slab leaks under concrete foundations?
Slab leaks develop from shifting soil, corrosion inside pipes, poor installation, or water chemistry that eats through copper. Homes built on expansive clay soil (common in Metro Atlanta) are especially vulnerable as the ground shifts with moisture changes. Learn more about slab leak detection and repair.
Does homeowners insurance cover leak detection and repairs?
Most policies cover sudden, accidental leaks like burst pipes or water heater failures. Gradual leaks from deferred maintenance typically aren’t covered. We provide detailed documentation of our findings to help with insurance claims when applicable.
Can I detect water leaks myself?
Simple leaks from dripping faucets or running toilets are easy to spot. Hidden leaks behind walls, under slabs, or in underground pipes require specialized detection equipment. Trying to locate these yourself usually leads to unnecessary damage and wasted time.
What happens if you find multiple leaks throughout my plumbing system?
When we discover widespread leaking from aging pipes or failing materials like polybutylene, we’ll explain your options. Sometimes targeted repairs make sense. Other times, repiping sections of your home or doing a complete whole-house repipe prevents recurring problems and saves money long-term.

Rod and Josh did an awesome job taking care of my clogged sinks. Knowledgable, professional and great to work with - I really appreciated their help today and would highly recommend them and Plumbing Express!
Daniel was excellent. The work he did was simply superb. I highly recommend your company and hopefully Daniel will get more and more work
Dylan from Plumbing Express came over and replaced our garbage disposal for us. It was older, had a massive leak, and needed to be replaced. He did a great job and was in and out in about 30 minutes! I also asked him to check out a potential leak I had been hearing in my ceiling. He used a thermal camera to investigate and was very honest and upfront about what he found. Rather than immediately cutting into the drywall to confirm something uncertain, he explained that the sound could simply be pipes expanding and that opening the wall might be unnecessary. He recommended monitoring the area and waiting to see if a wet spot appears, which would clearly indicate an actual leak. I really appreciated that he didn’t try to upsell or push unnecessary work. Overall, great service and a great guy. They will definitely be our go-to plumbing service from now on.
Once again we had some problems under our kitchen sink so we called Plumbing Express who were able to get us on their schedule pretty quickly after these storms Tim Robinson came out to do the job. Tim has been to our house for a number of different plumbing problems. He is personable & professional. As usual he did a great job even though this particular problem turned out to be far more difficult than anyone had expected. As frustrating as it was, Tim worked through it until he finished the job. We can't thank him enough.
Anthony was very competent, professional and friendly. He answered all my questions throughly. Highly recommend!
Anthony has come to my house a few times and he is always very professional, respectful of me and my home. He is also very knowledgeable in his craft.
TOTAL HOME RE-PLUMB. Our neighborhood has had so many homes experiencing water leaks (hundreds) that many of us have chosen to re-plumb before it happens. Based on my own experience speaking with four different plumbing companies, and speaking with several of our neighbors, I decided on Plumbing Express. They are knowledgeable, professional and very responsive to any questions along the way. Their price was fair and it’s one price for the whole job. You won’t have to find someone to repair and paint drywall. They have their own people or contractors to do that so your house looks perfect when they finish. I would highly recommend Plumbing Express to anyone needing to have their house re-plumbed. EDIT: Ed was the initial person I spoke to. His experience, knowledge and easygoing (non-salesman like) demeanor was greatly appreciated. Ivan was my point of contact for any questions and he was friendly and as I said, very responsive. He also installed a Moen smart valve in our home. Dylan plumbed the exterior of our home to the street while another crew did the interior re-plumbing. I’m very pleased with all of them.
Dylan did a great job fixing our Rinnai hybrid water heater. He didn’t try to do the typical “oh it’s over 5 years old you need a new one” that so many companies do. We really appreciated that! He did need to order parts, but they came in quickly and he was very efficient.
We had an excellent experience with Plumbing Express. They repiped my entire home and also handled all of the drywall repair and repainting afterward. When they were finished, it honestly looked like they had never been there—everything was spotless and perfectly restored. Ed Torres, the estimator, was wonderful to work with: extremely knowledgeable, professional, and thorough in explaining the process. Ivan Del Campo was my office contact, and he was fantastic at keeping me informed every step of the way, which I really appreciated. The team of four plumbers who removed the old piping and completed the actual repipe did an outstanding job. They were professional, hardworking, and efficient, and it was clear they took pride in their work. They answered questions when needed and were respectful of my home throughout the entire process. Kenny and Waldy, did a great job on the painting and drywall. They took a house that looked like swiss cheese and now you'd never know! From start to finish, the entire team was professional, communicative, and detail-oriented. I highly recommend Plumbing Express to anyone needing major plumbing work done right. It's not fun money to spend, but if you're in need-these are the guys to call.
Dylan did a great job. He was very professional and courteous. Would highly recommend their services.
I would recommend Plumbing Express to anyone for repiping services. I got initial quotes from 4 different plumbers for replacing PB pipe, and Ed was by far the most knowledgable, informative, and personable that I interacted with. Price was also hard to beat, especially considering the drywall repair was included. The crews that came out to work were on-time and worked quickly. The drywall repair was seamless; as many others have said, it is impossible to know there were ever any holes in the walls. Throughout the entire process, Ivan stayed in contact and communicated proactively and clearly. Any issues or concerns we had were addressed promptly. The only complaint we had was that some of the workers didn’t clean up thoroughly after themselves and left behind debris/trash. One piece left was a metal piece from a pipe that could’ve damaged our lawnmower if it hadn’t been found. In general though, the work spaces were left clean. Overall, we’re very happy with the quality of work done and customer service experience. These guys know what they’re doing.
Many thanks to Dylan for all of the work he put in yesterday to replace my hot water heater. It was an absolute pleasure to meet such a kind man who completed such a laborious task in such a short timeline, both skillfully and efficiently. Great communication all around, from the office updates on arrival timelines to expected finish time. Will absolutely recommend you in the future. Thanks again for your hard work! Happy New Year!
Tim and his crew did great work in replacing a water line at my home. They attended promptly, completed all work on time and cleaned up fully. Highly recommend Tim for any plumbing work.
This company is great - super easy to schedule, get in touch with them, good availability. Rod and Daniel are awesome and have been to our house multiple times and go above and beyond for us!!!! Cannot recommend this company more!!
Rod made a quick adjustment to our toilet system and explained how it all worked. Took just a few minutes. He’s a great guy, too
Rod came same day within 30 minutes of my call for no hot water. He checked both my tanks and got pilot light back on and flaring. He explained a lot about my units and left me quotes. If needed in future. He was very knowledgeable and professional. Thank you
Dylan was so kind. Our water heater had a leak that caused some damage and he came out today to assess and give us a quote for replacement. He was very professional and knowledgeable.
Rod came to our house today to sort out an issue. He was so awesome, he smiles, he has the best manners, he’s do kind and polite and was so efficient. Love this service so much
Tim Robinson did a fantastic job for installing upgrades for my kitchen sink, shower kit and bathroom faucets and pivoted to fix an unforeseen issue that came up which he resolved
I had a wonderful experience with this company, specifically Tray! He's knowledgeable, polite and goes above and beyond to get the job done. Hire more people like Tray!!!
Thanks so much for taking care of our hot water heater! Great communication, great response time, and very polite and professional!. I will be keeping this contact number saved in my contacts for any future plumbing issues. I highly recommend this company!
Our plumber (Tim R.) came out quickly (and during the holiday season) and made it clear what needed to be done. Found the source of the leak and then patched it up quickly. Also recommended a Mitigation Service and came back a few days later for an unrelated repair. All in all, top notch service (with a smile, a few jokes and family stories included). Definitely my go to plumbing service!
Water Heater broke - had an assessment within 2 hours (Dec 23rd) and a new one installed and the old one removed within 24 hours (Dec 24th). Fair, efficient, and very good service. Daniel Perez and Mark were excellent.
Tim did a fantastic job fixing the issue with my sink. In addition he went above and beyond in informing me about other potential issues and house knowledge.
Plumbing Express answered the phone without asking to go through a whole menu of options. Even as a new customer, they sent someone more quickly than I anticipated. Anthony was prompt, courteous, and got right to the heart of my situation. He was the second plumbing opinion I received, and he offered a much simpler, more affordable, option and did not try to upsell me on unnecessarily replacing fixtures. The efficiency of the company along with Anthony's honesty and competence will bring me back to Plumbing Express for all my plumbing needs.
Plumbing Express matched my expectations. Scheduling was on-time. Their technician, Rod Anderson was knowledgeable and professional in all aspects when installing my new water heater. Thanks Rod and Plumbing Express for another great job.
I was referred by a fellow realtor to Plumbing Express. Dylan was very professional and he provided valuable information prior and after the repair. He explained everything clearly and I felt confident.
We used Plumbing Express to repipe our whole house due to polybutylene pipes that failed under our slab. The experience was five stars all the way through. Ed came and did our free estimate. He explained everything to us without the “sales pitch” pressure we experienced from another company. The onsite plumbing crew (Lucian was the lead inside and Ivan was running the new line from the street) kept us informed throughout the job and did impeccable work. Once the repipe was complete, Roberto came in and completed the drywall repairs. The walls are perfect! Ivan who coordinated from the office was also key in making this go so smooth.
I had a terrible experience with a plumber that would not work on my valve because of it being old. I contacted Plumbing Express for a second opinion and I wish I had done it sooner. They were responsive, professional and my technician Daniel walked me through all the issues and risks. He was patient with my HOA when they could not locate the main shut off valve. He was knowledgeable, professional and polite. The office staff always called me ahead. Do NOT use any other plumber, learn from my mistakes!
From the 1st phone call to Phase I of our re-piping project, we have had nothing but the utmost in professionalism and efficiency as I have ever seen! Super helpful, knowledgeable and an overall excellent company to do business with! Our project was completed perfectly by a team of amazing guys! Highly recommend!
The tech was very knowledgeable and gave me the best advice, even though he wasn’t able to complete the request as I need hvac first.
We needed to replace all the copper piping in our 29 year old house. The task was daunting however Plumbing Express did an outstanding job - every step of the way. The quote was far better than their competitors. They moved furniture and plastic covered and isolated the work area. They cut 45 holes in my ceiling and walls to run the pipe. They pressure tested to ensure no leaks. The amazing thing was they completed all the plumbing work in one day. They replaced the drywall perfectly. We can’t tell where the cuts were made. They supported us during the permit inspection and completed the items the inspector identified. Finally they cleaned up each day. Thank you Plumbing Express, Ed, Ivan, Lucio, Joe, Kiron and Rad for excellent customer service, and the job itself.
Daniel and his team did an excellent job taking out our existing hybrid water heater and installing the new tankless heater. Thank you!!
Very pleased with Rod and his service of our tankless hot water heater. He installed a new tankless that is superior to the one it replaced and did so quickly and for the estimated price
Anthony was great- he helped get to the bottom of our issues and resolved quickly- good availability and knowledge. We would use him again!!
Plumbing Express serviced my tankless hot water heater the other day. I was pleased with the service, and I thought the price was reasonable. What impressed me the most about the service call was the technician, Rod Anderson. He was personable, well spoken, polite, and efficient. If there is any future service I need, I am going to insist on Rod being the technician.
So glad I tried Plumbing Express as new customer needing probable sink garbage disposal replacement. Saturday same day appointment which is almost unheard of. Expert technician Dylan handled everything with ease and efficiency. Extremely pleased‼️
Daniel was amazing! He represented the company to the very best standards! I will dwfinitely use him again! Very Professional! Courtesy! A very positive experience! Will use in the future! Absolutely
Dec 2025 - Plumbing Express responded very quickly, next day, replaced garbage disposal. Very friendly and professional Dec 2022 - Plumbing Express responded very quickly; Andrew installed entirely new water service line; very friendly professional, knowledgeable Discovered leak in basement from main service line on Wednesday and by Friday they had a new service line installed from the water meter at the curb to the house. The issue was entirely resolved in about 5 hours. Involved digging up the yard (and putting it back together!) and installing new pipe to basement. Andrew was super patient with me and explained everything (multiple times!). Great crew, very efficient, affordable and the new water line comes with a 7 year warranty! Overall, Plumbing Express is super responsive, affordable, and does good quality work; highly recommend!
Daniel was absolutely great. He took care of replacing my water heater. He was thorough, efficient and professional. He educated me on the entire process. Thanks Daniel
