Accurate Leak Detection Services

Hidden plumbing leaks can wreak havoc long before you ever see the damage. Rising water bills, warped flooring, mold growth, or unexplained musty smells might be your only clues. Ignoring these signs could lead to costly repairs and structural issues.

At R.S. Andrews, our Atlanta leak detection specialists use cutting-edge technology to quickly locate and diagnose leaks—even those buried deep behind walls or under slabs. We’re here to provide answers, stop the damage in its tracks, and help restore peace of mind to your home.

How to Tell If There’s a Hidden Leak in Your Home

Leaks don’t always make themselves known with visible water—many stay concealed until they cause damage. Staying alert to the warning signs can help you take quick action and avoid serious repairs. Here’s what to watch for:

• Unexplained increase in water bills: A spike in your monthly utility costs may signal an ongoing leak wasting water behind the scenes.

• Persistent moldy or musty smells: Odors that linger—especially near walls, under sinks, or in basements—can point to hidden moisture.

• Warped flooring or bubbling paint: Changes in your walls, ceilings, or floors often indicate that water is pooling where it shouldn’t.

• Sound of running water when fixtures are off: If you hear water flowing but everything’s shut off, you may have a pipe leaking inside your walls or under the slab.

• Low water pressure in one or more areas: Pressure drops can mean that water is escaping before it ever reaches your faucet.

Our Leak Detection Services

Leaks can be tricky—sometimes they’re obvious, other times they’re hidden deep behind walls or under foundations. At R.S. Andrews, we offer specialized leak detection services designed to identify and resolve issues before they escalate into expensive repairs. Using non-invasive technology and decades of experience, our team gets to the root of the problem quickly and efficiently.

Here are the types of leaks we’re equipped to detect and address:

• Toilet Leaks: Even without a visible puddle, a constantly running or gurgling toilet can signal an internal leak. These can waste thousands of gallons of water and strain your plumbing system.

• Washing Machine Leaks: We inspect hoses, valves, and internal components to find the source of water pooling behind or beneath your unit—often caused by line damage or internal malfunctions.

• Dishwasher Leaks: Hidden hose cracks or faulty seals can cause gradual water damage in your kitchen. Our team pinpoints the source and makes necessary repairs before cabinetry or flooring is affected.

• Water Heater Leaks: Leaks in or around your water heater can lead to mold, water damage, and efficiency loss. We diagnose and address the issue fast, whether it’s a valve, tank crack, or connection problem.

• Faucet Leaks: Dripping faucets are more than an annoyance—they lead to mineral buildup, fixture damage, and higher water bills. We stop the drip and restore efficient operation.

• Slab Leaks: When a leak occurs under your foundation, signs may include unexpected water sounds or soaring utility bills. We use acoustic and thermal tools to detect slab leaks with minimal intrusion.
