Signs You May Have a Hidden Water Leak:

• A "Musty" or "Earthy" Odor: This is the #1 sign. This smell is not "normal." It's the byproduct of mold and mildew, which means moisture is present.
• Unexplained High Water Bill: If your habits haven't changed but your bill has spiked, you are likely paying for water that is leaking somewhere in your system.
• Visible Stains or Discoloration: A yellow or brown spot on a ceiling or wall is a clear sign that water is traveling from elsewhere.
• Peeling, Bubbling, or Cracking: When materials like drywall or paint get wet, they will bubble, peel, or warp.
• Warm Spots on Your Floor: If you have a slab foundation, a warm spot can indicate a break in your hot water line.

Where Leaks Commonly Hide in Athens, GA Homes:

• Behind Appliances: Under dishwashers, behind refrigerators (ice maker lines), and washing machines.
• In Attics: From roof leaks, flashing failures, or AC-unit condensation pans.
• Under Sinks: A slow-drip P-trap or supply line in a bathroom or kitchen cabinet.
• In Walls: From "pinhole" leaks in copper supply lines.
• Under Slabs: Breaks in the main water or sewer lines under your foundation.

How We Find and Fix Hidden Leaks

We use non-invasive technology. We don't just start breaking open walls. Our technicians use:

• Thermal Imaging Cameras: To see "cold spots" in your walls where moisture is present.
• Acoustic Listening Devices: To "hear" the sound of dripping or running water inside a wall or under a slab.
• Moisture Meters: To get a precise reading of how saturated a material is.Once we find the source, we can perform a targeted repair, dry the structure, and provide mold remediation for any resulting contamination.
