FAQs
How can I tell if I have a hidden plumbing leak in my Maryville home?
Common warning signs include unexpectedly high water bills, the sound of running water when no fixtures are on, warm or damp spots on floors or walls, mildew or musty odors, unexplained water pooling in the yard, and low water pressure. If you notice one or more of these indicators, schedule professional leak detection promptly to avoid structural damage and costly repairs.
What advanced technologies do you use for precision leak detection?
Our Maryville technicians employ state-of-the-art tools such as electronic acoustic listening devices, infrared thermal imaging cameras, pressure testing equipment, and line-tracing sondes. These non-destructive methods allow us to pinpoint leaks behind walls, under slabs, and in underground service lines with minimal disturbance to your property.
How long does a typical leak detection appointment take?
Most residential leak detection visits are completed in 1â2 hours, including a brief inspection, setup of equipment, location of the leak, and explanation of findings. Larger homes, multiple suspected leak points, or complex plumbing configurations can extend the appointment, but our team always provides a time estimate once we arrive on site.
Is your leak detection process invasive? Will you have to tear up floors or walls?
No. Our goal is to identify the leakâs exact location first, using non-invasive tools. Only if a repair is required will we recommend targeted access, such as removing a small tile section or opening a precise area of drywall. This precision keeps demolition to a minimum, saving you time and money on restoration.
Do you service all neighborhoods in and around Maryville, and are there travel fees?
Yes. We cover the entire Maryville area, including Alnwick, Rockford, Clover Hill, and nearby Blount County communities. Travel within a 25-mile radius is included at no additional charge. Locations beyond that range may incur a modest mileage fee, which we quote up front so there are no surprises.
What should I do while waiting for the technician if I suspect a leak?
Shut off the main water valve to prevent further damage, turn off your water heater (if it is gas or electric) to avoid overheating, and dry any standing water you can safely access. Avoid using plumbing fixtures until the leak is located. Document any visible damage for insurance purposes, and have your utility bills on handâthis information can help our technician assess the situation quickly.
