Reliable Leak Repair in Mount Pleasant, SC

Stop Water Damage Before It Spreads

Finding water where it shouldn't be is stressful. In Mount Pleasant, SC, where coastal humidity and specific construction styles create unique plumbing challenges, a small leak can quickly escalate into a major restoration project involving mold and structural rot.

At American Leak Detection of Charleston, we specialize in Plumbing Leak Repair for residential and small commercial properties. We don't just patch pipes; we investigate the root cause of the moisture and provide lasting solutions. Our team understands the local architecture, from the elevated crawl spaces of Old Village homes to the slab foundations in newer developments north of the Isle of Palms Connector. We provide clear answers, transparent pricing, and expert repairs to protect your home from further damage.

Why Mount Pleasant Homeowners Trust Us

Plumbing in the Lowcountry faces specific environmental stressors. The high salt content in the air can accelerate corrosion on external fixtures and older copper pipes. Additionally, the sandy soil common in our area can shift, putting pressure on underground water lines entering your home.

Our technicians are locals who encounter these issues daily. We know that a stain on a first-floor ceiling often points to a failed wax ring or a supply line leak in an upstairs bathroom. We understand how to navigate the tight crawl spaces common in Charleston-area homes to locate hidden pipe failures.

• Targeted Diagnostics: We don't tear open walls based on a guess. We use moisture meters and acoustic listening devices to pinpoint the leak's location before we cut.
• Respectful Service: We treat your home with care, using shoe covers and drop cloths to protect your flooring and furniture.
• Code-Compliant Repairs: All our work meets or exceeds South Carolina plumbing codes, ensuring your repair is safe and durable.

Don't let a drip become a disaster. Call American Leak Detection of Charleston at (843) 203-9294 or request a service call to schedule your repair.

Our Repair Process: Clear and Methodical

We believe that informing you is as important as fixing the pipe. Our process is designed to eliminate surprise and stress.

1. Assessment & Detection

Upon arrival, we conduct a thorough visual inspection of the affected area and the surrounding plumbing fixtures. We look for tell-tale signs like corrosion on shutoff valves, blistering paint, or the sound of running water. If the leak is hidden, we use specialized equipment to isolate the source.

2. Explanation & Options

Once we identify the problem, we explain it to you in plain English. We outline the necessary repair, whether it involves replacing a corroded section of pipe, installing a new fixture, or re-piping a small area. We provide a clear, upfront price before any work begins.

3. Surgical Repair

We access the leak with precision. If we need to open a wall or ceiling, we make the smallest cut possible to allow for the repair. We replace the damaged components with high-quality materials suited for our coastal environment.

4. Verification & Cleanup

After the repair is complete, we test the system under pressure to ensure the leak is gone. We then clean up the work area, removing all debris and leaving your home as tidy as we found it.

Common Leaks We Resolve

We handle a wide range of plumbing failures, including:

• Supply Line Leaks: Replacing old, brittle supply lines under sinks and behind toilets that are prone to bursting.
• Hidden Pipe Leaks: Repairing copper or PEX pipes inside walls or ceilings that have developed pinhole leaks or joint failures.
• Crawl Space Leaks: Locating and fixing leaks in the main water lines running beneath your home, which often go unnoticed until utility bills spike.
• Fixture Leaks: repairing or replacing dripping faucets, leaking shower valves, and running toilets that waste water.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have a hidden leak?

Look for unexplained increases in your water bill, warm spots on the floor, or the sound of running water when everything is turned off. Musty odors or mold growth in specific areas are also strong indicators of hidden moisture.

Will you have to cut into my wall?

If the leak is behind a wall, access is necessary to fix it. However, we use precise detection methods to ensure we only open the specific area needed for the repair, minimizing the impact on your home.

How much does a leak repair cost?

The cost depends on the location and severity of the leak. We provide a thorough assessment and a clear price quote before we start any work, so you can make an informed decision without fear of hidden fees.

We understand that water damage waits for no one. We prioritize active leaks and work to schedule your appointment as quickly as possible to limit damage to your property.
