Find Hidden Leaks Without Damaging Property or Water Networks

Our leak surveys examine property plumbing and water distribution systems for concealed leaks. American Leak Detection of Greater Atlanta provides non-invasive leak detection in Cumming, Georgia, for homes, businesses, multifamily properties, municipal entities, and water purveyors. We bring more than 50 years of experience conducting leak detection surveys and repairs.

Our technicians use specialized equipment and diagnostic methods to locate hidden water and sewer leaks without damaging the property. These methods can be applied to interconnected plumbing, underground lines, and larger distribution infrastructure when the source isn’t visible.

Schedule a leak survey for your property or water system by calling (770) 741-2534.

Leak Survey, Repair & Pipe Services in Cumming

We work across interconnected plumbing and water-system infrastructure. Depending on the concern, the scope may include diagnostic services, targeted repairs, or pipe replacement for residential, commercial, insurance, and public-system needs.

Our services include:

Leak surveys
Plumbing leak repair
Gas line repair
Service plumbing
Smoke testing
Sewer line leak repair
Trenchless pipe replacement
Insurance claim investigations
Public and private water system leak detection
Mainline and fire line leak detection for municipal systems

We match each service to the reported concern and the system being examined. A suspected leak within one property may call for focused diagnostics, while unexplained usage across a public or private network may require a broader survey.

How Our Leak Survey Process Works

Every commercial or municipal engagement begins with an on-site consultation before we deploy detection equipment. We review the system, discuss the reported concern, and establish the survey scope.

Non-Invasive Field Detection
Our technicians examine the relevant plumbing or distribution infrastructure using methods suited to concealed leaks. The diagnostic work is designed to locate the source without opening walls, floors, pavement, or landscaping simply to search for it.

Written Leak Reports
After detection, we provide a written report identifying the leak location and likely causes. It also includes a recommended course of action, timeline, and cost estimate for resolving the problem.

Pricing & Emergency Availability
We provide upfront pricing before work begins, so the approved scope and price are clear. Emergency leak detection services are also available when an active concern requires prompt attention.

Use Documented Findings to Plan the Next Step

Information submitted through our contact form about the property, system, and suspected leak helps us identify the appropriate service.

What a Comprehensive Leak Survey Examines

A leak survey is a diagnostic process that examines a property plumbing system or utility network for concealed leaks. Rather than limiting the search to one fixture or room, it can assess interconnected infrastructure across a defined service area.

This broader scope distinguishes a survey from a general plumbing inspection. An inspection evaluates the condition and function of plumbing components, while a leak survey locates hidden leaks. A single-leak detection visit typically focuses on a suspected location, but a survey evaluates a wider system for one or more unidentified sources.

Acoustic Detection
Acoustic detection uses sensitive listening equipment to identify sounds associated with water escaping from a pressurized line. Technicians analyze those signals to narrow the suspected location without exposing the pipe during the diagnostic process.

Thermal Detection
Thermal detection measures temperature patterns that may indicate concealed moisture or water movement. Depending on the system and site conditions, acoustic and thermal methods can support non-invasive detection beneath walls, floors, pavement, or landscaping.

Cumming Water Distribution Survey Context

Cumming Utilities maintains approximately 22,000 water meters and more than 300 miles of water mains. That scale illustrates why a municipal leak survey must be organized around defined sections of a distribution system rather than treated as a single suspected-leak call.

In 2024, the City of Cumming issued a request for proposals for a leak detection survey covering approximately one-third of its water distribution and collection system. The requested scope encompassed about 140 miles of pipe and called for detected leaks to be identified, recorded, and graded by intensity. This public procurement illustrates the documentation and systemwide fieldwork involved in municipal surveys, but it doesn’t indicate that we performed the work.

Leak Surveys & Non-Revenue Water

Non-revenue water enters a distribution system but isn’t accounted for through billed consumption. Physical leakage can contribute to that difference, along with metering inaccuracies and administrative issues.

Mainline and fire line leak detection can identify physical leakage within the surveyed portion of a network. Recorded locations and graded findings give municipal departments and water purveyors defined information for evaluating maintenance and capital-planning priorities.

"All was a very good experience with such a monumental leak."
“Jim came on two different leak situations. The first time was an absolute ludicrous leak that the water company said has used 400,000 gallons of water in 1 month. So they turned our water off. Jim resolved that issue and worked with our insurance company and it was very smooth going. They spotted the leak and it was fixed and then noticed another area that might be a problem, but no water leaking. They warned us of this area. Five months later we noticed a bill that was going up. Sure enough, we called Jim again and out he came and found the leak and it was under a sink and pinpointed that leak and it was resolved immediately. Jim is such a nice person and so easy to talk with and communicate with when a woman is all but looney with NO WATER. And, a second leak. All was a very good experience with such a monumental leak.”

- Phyllis M.
