Water Leak Detection Services in Knoxville, TN

Among the trickiest plumbing problems are slab leaks – those arising from pipes beneath your home's concrete slab or basement floor, springing a leak. Oftentimes, signs of a slab leak aren't overt, but keep an eye out for these indicators:

• Audible running water when no faucets or toilets are in use
• Moist carpets, floors, or concrete surfaces
• Damp or moldy drywall on lower levels
• Musty smells in the basement
• Unexplained spikes in your water bills
• Observable harm to your foundation

Swift action is imperative if you suspect a slab leak to prevent severe water damage and potential structural harm to your home's foundation. It's important to seek expert water leak detection and repair services promptly. A proficient plumber can swiftly pinpoint the leak, create minimal disruptions by making the tiniest opening in your slab for repairs, and restore it to its original state.

Yes. Ongoing leaks can weaken your foundation, damage flooring and drywall, and create ideal conditions for mold growth. Early detection helps avoid costly repairs.

We use advanced tools—such as video inspection cameras, acoustic listening devices, and soil probes—to locate the exact leak location without cutting into walls or digging unnecessarily. This technology makes the process fast, precise, and minimally invasive.

The decision to repair or replace depends on the extent of the damage, the pipe material, and the age of the plumbing system.

• Repair: Often suitable for minor, isolated damage to newer pipes. We aim to make the smallest opening necessary for a localized repair.
• Replacement: May be recommended if the pipe is old, has multiple failure points, or if the material is outdated and prone to future leaks. Our experienced technician will assess the situation and provide a professional recommendation and estimate for both options.
