Precision Diagnostics Without the Destruction (Our Process)
We have stripped the stress out of the leak detection process. We combine local knowledge of Forsyth County’s clay-heavy soils and plumbing codes with state-of-the-art technology to deliver fast results.
Here is how we handle your home:
- Site & Pressure Assessment: We start by testing the water pressure to confirm the leak exists and isolating the system to determine if it’s on the hot or cold line.
- Electronic & Acoustic Scanning: Using sensitive Acoustic Ground Microphones (similar to the tech we use for pool leak detection), we listen for the frequency of escaping water through the concrete slab.
- Thermographic Mapping: We use thermal imaging cameras to identify heat signatures that indicate pooling water beneath the foundation.
- Pinpoint Location: We mark the exact location of the leak for repair, usually within a small radius, minimizing the area that needs to be accessed later.
Stop worrying and start solving. Protect your foundation with the team that respects your home. Call American Leak Detection of Greater Atlanta at (770) 741-2534 for a consultation, or request your precision assessment now to secure your appointment in Forsyth County, GA.
Identifying Slab Leaks in Forsyth County Foundations
Why do slab leaks happen here? Forsyth County properties often face specific challenges, including shifting soil conditions that can damage home foundations or necessitate pool leak repair and aging copper pipes that react to the concrete (electrolysis). These factors can cause pinhole leaks that go unnoticed until damage is visible.
Critical Symptoms to Watch For:
- The "Hot Spot": A specific area of the floor that feels warm to the touch (indicating a hot water line leak).
- The Spinning Meter: Your water meter continues to run even when all faucets and appliances are turned off.
- Sound of Running Water: You hear the hiss or hum of water moving through pipes when the house is silent.
- Moisture Migration: Dampness ruining baseboards or carpets without a visible spill.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will you have to break my floor to find the leak?
No. Our detection process is 100% non-invasive. We use acoustic and thermal technology to locate the leak through the floor. We only recommend breaking concrete (or tunneling) during the repair phase, and even then, our precision location ensures the hole is as small as possible.
Do you repair the slab leak once it is found?
We specialize in the diagnostic phase to ensure unbiased results, but we can often provide repair solutions or refer you to trusted specialists depending on your needs. Once we pinpoint the leak, we provide a detailed report that acts as a roadmap for the repair, ensuring the fix is targeted and efficient.
Is slab leak detection covered by insurance?
In many cases, the "Access and Egress" (getting to the leak) is covered by homeowner's insurance in Forsyth County, even if the pipe repair itself isn't. Our detailed inspection reports are designed to help you document the damage and location for your insurance adjuster, streamlining your claim process.
How accurate is your equipment?
Extremely accurate. By combining three layers of verification, Pressure Testing, Acoustic Listening, and Thermal Imaging, we can cross-reference our findings. This triangulation allows us to identify leak locations with high precision, saving you money on unnecessarily large floor repairs.
