Non-Destructive Diagnosis
A hidden water leak can cause catastrophic structural damage before you ever see a drop of water. At A&G Plumbing, we use non-destructive, acoustic, and thermal imaging technology to pinpoint the exact source of a leak behind your walls or under your foundation—without tearing your home apart in the process.
Water always finds the path of least resistance. If you notice any of these subtle warning signs in your Metro Atlanta home, you likely have a concealed leak:
In the past, finding a leak in a concrete slab meant jackhammering until the plumber found water. Today, A&G Plumbing uses highly specialized **Acoustic Listening Devices** and **Thermal Imaging Cameras** to “see” and “hear” water escaping from pressurized pipes, even under thick concrete.
Once we identify the exact location of the leak down to the inch, we present you with repair options. Depending on the pipe’s condition, we may perform a localized spot repair (replacing a small section of copper or PEX), create a bypass (rerouting the pipe through the attic or walls to avoid the slab entirely), or discuss whole-home repiping if the system is completely compromised by corrosion.
Putting off a leak detection investigation can cost you thousands of dollars in the long run. Unresolved leaks can quickly cause:
Most standard homeowner policies in Georgia cover sudden and accidental water damage (like a burst pipe), as well as the cost to tear out and repair the wall or floor to attain access to the leak. However, the actual repair of the pipe itself is typically your responsibility. We recommend checking with your provider for specific coverage details.
We use non-invasive acoustic listening equipment to pinpoint the exact location of escaping water, combined with infrared thermal imaging to trace the path of the water temperature changes across the concrete. This means we never guess where to dig.
While high usage can sometimes be attributed to overwatering lawns during hot Atlanta summers, a sudden, unexplained spike in your water bill is the #1 indicator of a concealed plumbing leak. We recommend shutting off all water sources and checking your meter; if the dial is still spinning, you have a leak.
