Infrared Leak Detection in Hattiesburg, MS

Advanced Diagnostics & Repairs for the Pine Belt

In the Hub City, moisture is a constant battle. Between the heavy thunderstorms that roll through Forrest County and the intense humidity typical of Southern Mississippi, identifying the source of indoor water can be maddening. Is it a roof leak from the last storm? A sweating AC duct? Or a pinhole leak inside your wall?

At American Leak Detection of Jackson, we stop the guessing game. We don't just walk around looking for wet spots; we employ infrared leak detection to see what the naked eye cannot. More importantly, we don't just hand you a report and leave you to find a plumber. We find the leak, and we fix the leak if you prefer. One call resolves the entire issue, restoring your home’s integrity without the runaround.

Why Hattiesburg Homes Struggle (And How We Help)

Hattiesburg properties face a unique set of stressors. The expansive clay soils common in the Pine Belt shift drastically between wet and dry seasons, pulling at underground plumbing. Meanwhile, our high humidity can mask slow leaks inside walls, allowing mold to thrive unnoticed.

Generic plumbing tactics, like breaking open drywall just to "see" if a pipe is leaking, are outdated and destructive. We take a Surgical Approach:

• Thermal Anomaly Detection: We use high-resolution infrared cameras to detect evaporative cooling. Even a tiny drip behind a cabinet changes the surface temperature of the wood or sheetrock, creating a visible "thermal footprint" we can track.
• Local-Specific Calibration: We know how to distinguish between normal Mississippi humidity accumulation and an active plumbing failure.
• Complete Resolution: Once our thermal imaging pinpoints the source, our licensed technicians have the skills to switch gears from diagnostic experts to repair specialists in a blink if you wish. 

One team to find it. One team to fix it. Contact American Leak Detection of Jackson in Hattiesburg, MS at (601) 890-0356 to stop the damage today, or request your service call now for a complete leak solution.

Dealing with water damage is stressful enough; dealing with multiple contractors is worse. We have streamlined our process to be the only phone call you need to make.

1. The "Hub City" Assessment: We arrive on time, uniformed, and ready to listen. We review your water bills and discuss the symptoms (musty odors, warm floors).
2. Non-Invasive Imaging: We scan your walls, ceilings, and floors with industrial-grade thermal imagers. This allows us to map the moisture migration without lifting a single hammer.
3. Precision Verification: We cross-reference thermal data with moisture meters and acoustic sensors to ensure 100% accuracy.
4. Immediate Results: Once the leak is located, we present you with a separate, straightforward price to fix the issue. You have the choice to authorize the repair right then and there, or simply take the report. If you choose us, there is no waiting for a subcontractor; we are equipped to handle it immediately.

• Slab Leak Isolation: Detecting hot water lines radiating heat through concrete foundations.
• Systems Repair: Full restoration of copper, PVC, or PEX piping systems once the breach is exposed.
• Moisture Mapping: Delineating the full extent of water saturation to guide drying efforts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you fix the leak or just find it?

We have the capability for both. While our focus is accurate detection, we are also licensed for repairs. Once the leak is found, we can offer a separate quote to fix it immediately, but the choice to proceed with the repair is always yours.

Will infrared detection work if the leak is behind tile?

Yes. Thermal imaging relies on temperature differentials (Delta-T). Wet materials transfer heat differently from dry ones. Whether it is behind bathroom tile, kitchen cabinets, or under floorboards, the infrared camera detects the temperature variance caused by the moisture, allowing us to see "through" the obstruction.

How does this save me money?

By pinpointing the exact location of the failure, we eliminate "exploratory demolition." A traditional plumber might tear down four feet of drywall chasing a leak. We might only need to remove a single tile or cut a small access panel to perform the repair. This saves you hundreds, if not thousands, in reconstruction costs.

How quickly can you get to my home in Hattiesburg?

We prioritize active water leaks. Our local presence in Hattiesburg allows us to respond rapidly to emergencies across Forrest and Lamar counties.
