FAQs
How do I know if I have a hidden plumbing leak in my Athens property?
Common warning signs include unexplained increases in your water bill, the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, damp or warm spots on floors and walls, moldy or musty odors, and reduced water pressure. If you notice any of these issues, it’s wise to schedule professional leak detection before the problem escalates.
What methods do you use for leak detection in Athens homes and businesses?
We combine several non-invasive technologies to pinpoint leaks accurately: acoustic listening devices that pick up the sound of escaping water, thermal imaging cameras that reveal temperature anomalies behind walls and under slabs, moisture meters to measure hidden dampness, and tracer gas or dye testing for hard-to-find leaks. Using multiple tools ensures we locate the leak quickly without unnecessary demolition.
Will leak detection damage my walls, floors, or landscaping?
In most cases, no. Modern leak detection relies on sensitive electronic equipment that can identify the leak’s location through concrete, tile, or soil. This means we only open a very small access point—if any—directly over the leaking pipe, minimizing repair costs and preserving your home’s finishes and landscaping.
How much does professional leak detection cost in Athens?
Pricing depends on the property size, plumbing layout, and leak complexity, but typical residential leak detection ranges from €150 to €350. Commercial properties or multi-leak scenarios may cost more. After an initial assessment, we provide a transparent, itemized quote so you know exactly what to expect before we begin work.
What should I do while waiting for the leak detection plumber to arrive?
First, shut off the property’s main water supply to stop further damage. If you can’t locate the main valve, turn off the supply to the affected fixture. Remove valuables and furniture from wet areas, and use towels or a wet-vac to contain water spread. Avoid using electrical appliances near standing water, and take photos for insurance documentation.
