Precision Non-Invasive Water Leak Detection in Marietta
Concealed water leaks represent one of the most insidious threats to residential foundations, framing, and interior finishes. A pressurized supply pipe leaking beneath a concrete slab foundation or inside an enclosed wall cavity can escape visual detection for months while quietly compromising structural stability and driving up utility bills.
Signs of a Hidden Pressurized Pipe Leak
- Unexplained spikes in monthly billing statements from Marietta Board of Lights and Water (BLW) & Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority (CCMWA).
- Continuous spin on your water meter dial while all home fixtures are shut off.
- Warm spots felt on tile, vinyl, or carpet flooring over concrete slab foundations.
- Hissing sound heard inside walls when faucets are turned off.
Electronic Acoustic Testing
Ground microphones amplify high-frequency sound waves of water escaping under pressure.
Infrared Thermography
Thermal cameras reveal hot or cold thermal footprints trapped behind sheetrock or under slab floors.
Slab Leak Reroutes
Bypassing leaking in-slab copper lines through attic chases with durable PEX to avoid floor damage.
Yard Line Locating
Isolating underground service line ruptures between the utility meter and the foundation.
Foundation & Soil Factors in Marietta
Marietta operates its own municipal utility (Marietta BLW) purchasing treated wholesale water from the Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority, serving established 1960s-1980s homes with cast iron and galvanized piping alongside newer subdivisions. Soil settlement and shifting moisture levels exert mechanical friction against underground copper and PVC pipes. Our specialized diagnostic equipment isolates pressurized failures quickly to stop water loss.
