Pinpoint Accuracy, Minimal Disruption
Most leaks don’t announce themselves. They hide behind drywall, under tile, or out in the yard. That’s why we rely on:
Thermal Imaging: Detects subtle changes in temperature inside walls and flooring.
Moisture Meters: Reveals water build-up before it causes visible damage.
Inspection Cameras: High-resolution, flexible tools to scope plumbing from the inside.
Ultrasonic Detection: Captures the high-frequency sounds of running or dripping water.
Pressure Testing: Proactively checks your system for weak points or silent leaks.
These tools let us pinpoint the problem fast, and fix it before your plumbing needs turn into expensive repairs.

Water Leak FAQs for Our Experts
Homeowners often ask these questions about leak detection and plumbing leaks.
-
Immediately turn off your main water shut-off valve. If you aren't sure where it is, check your basement, crawlspace, or near the water meter by the street.
Once the water is off, call a professional to prevent structural damage. We’ve seen that acting quickly reduces water damage, structural issues, and mold growth.
-
Homeowners insurance may cover sudden and accidental damage, but not slow, long-term leaks due to neglect. Coverage depends on your specific policy.
A licensed plumber can provide documentation for your claim.
-
Mold can begin to grow within 24 to 48 hours after water exposure, especially in humid environments like North Georgia.
This is why fast leak detection and pipe repair are important. The longer moisture remains inside walls, floors, or insulation, the higher the risk of mold growth and structural damage.
-
First, plumbers use specialized tools such as acoustic leak detectors or thermal imaging cameras to locate the exact source of the leak without opening the entire wall.
Once the leak is located, the plumber makes a small targeted opening in the drywall, repairs or replaces the damaged pipe, and then closes the wall.
This approach minimizes damage to your home.
-
Common signs include:
Unexplained high water bills
Water stains on walls or ceilings
Musty odors
Low water pressure
Wet spots on floors or carpet
If you notice one or more of these signs, a plumber can perform leak detection tests to confirm the issue.
-
A sudden increase in your water bill is one of the most common signs of a plumbing leak. If your bill rises 15% or more without a change in water usage, you may have a hidden or “silent” leak.
Common causes include:
Worn toilet flappers
Underground supply line leaks
Hidden pipe leaks inside walls
A plumber can perform a pressure test or leak detection inspection to confirm the problem.
-
Yes. Many homes in North Georgia are built on slab foundations, and plumbers regularly repair leaks beneath them.
Depending on the situation, the plumber may:
Repair the pipe directly under the slab
Reroute the pipe through walls or ceilings
Replace the affected section of pipe
In many cases, rerouting the line avoids the need to break open concrete floors.
-
Plumbing leak detection is the process of locating hidden water leaks inside pipes, walls, floors, or underground plumbing systems. Professional plumbers use specialized tools such as acoustic listening devices, pressure testing, and thermal imaging cameras to pinpoint the exact location of a leak without unnecessary damage to the home.
-
Yes. Modern plumbers use non-invasive leak detection technology to locate hidden leaks before opening walls or flooring.
Tools such as acoustic sensors, pressure testing, and thermal imaging cameras help pinpoint the exact leak location. This allows plumbers to make a small targeted repair instead of tearing up large sections of your home.
-
Yes. RX Plumbing & Drain provides leak detection services throughout Cumming, Sugar Hill, Johns Creek, Alpharetta, Milton, Roswell, and the surrounding North Atlanta area. Our plumbers use modern detection equipment to locate hidden leaks quickly and accurately.
