FAQs
What types of leaks can your precision leak detection service find in Gatlinburg homes or businesses?
Our advanced equipment can pinpoint slab leaks, hidden pipe leaks behind walls or ceilings, underground water line leaks, pool and spa leaks, and even small pinhole leaks in copper or PEX piping. Whether the leak is inside the structure or in the yard, we can locate it without unnecessary demolition.
How does your leak detection technology work without tearing up my property?
We combine electronic listening devices, thermal imaging cameras, and tracer gas sniffers to zero-in on the exact leak location. These non-invasive tools detect sound frequencies, temperature variations, and gas movement, allowing us to isolate the problem to within a few inches—often through concrete, tile, or soil—so only minimal access points are needed for repairs.
What are common signs that I might need professional leak detection?
Unexplained spikes in your water bill, damp or warm spots on floors, mildew odors, visible mold, the sound of running water when fixtures are off, or reduced water pressure can all indicate a hidden leak. In Gatlinburg’s humid climate, early detection is critical to prevent structural damage and costly mold remediation.
How much does precision leak detection typically cost in the Gatlinburg area?
Most residential leak detection jobs range from $275 to $450, depending on the leak’s complexity and location. Commercial or multi-unit properties may be higher. We provide a firm quote before work begins, and the diagnostic fee is often credited toward the repair if you hire us to fix the leak.
Will my homeowners insurance cover leak detection and repair?
Many Gatlinburg policyholders find that insurance covers water damage caused by a sudden plumbing failure, but it may not cover the leak’s repair itself. Coverage varies widely, so we provide detailed reports and photos to help you document the issue for your insurer. Always check your policy or speak with your agent for specifics.
