FAQs
How can I tell if I have a hidden plumbing leak in my Jonesborough home?
Common warning signs include unexplained spikes in your water bill, the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, damp or warm spots on floors or walls, mildew odors, and visible mold growth. You might also notice peeling paint or warped flooring. Catching these clues early can prevent structural damage and costly repairs.
What leak-detection technologies do you use?
We rely on non-invasive, state-of-the-art tools such as acoustic listening devices to pinpoint pressurized line leaks, infrared thermal imaging to locate temperature changes caused by moisture, electronic moisture meters, and in-pipe video cameras for sewer or drain lines. These methods allow us to locate leaks precisely without tearing into walls or floors unnecessarily.
Will the leak detection process damage my property?
In most cases, no. Modern leak detection is designed to be minimally invasive. By using acoustic, thermal, and video inspection equipment, we can locate the exact spot of the leak before any repair begins, greatly reducing or eliminating the need for exploratory demolition. If repair access is required, it is confined to a small, targeted area.
How soon should I deal with a suspected leak?
Immediately. Even a slow leak can waste thousands of gallons of water each year, raise your utility bills, promote mold growth, and weaken structural components. Quick detection and repair protect your home’s integrity and keep repair costs low. We offer same-day service in Jonesborough for urgent situations.
Do you provide 24/7 emergency leak detection in Jonesborough?
Yes. Plumbing leaks don’t keep regular business hours, so neither do we. Our certified technicians are on call around the clock, including weekends and holidays, to handle burst pipes, slab leaks, and any other sudden water intrusions. We arrive fully equipped to locate and stop the leak fast.
How much does professional leak detection cost, and do you offer upfront pricing?
Costs vary depending on the location, accessibility, and complexity of the leak. Typical residential leak detection in Jonesborough ranges from $150 to $400, while larger or multiple leaks may be higher. We provide a free initial phone assessment, transparent upfront quotes before work begins, and no hidden fees. Once we isolate the leak, we’ll also offer a fixed-price repair estimate.
