Atlanta Leak Detection & Repair

Protecting Your Atlanta Home from Costly Water Leaks

In a bustling city like Atlanta, homeowners have enough to worry about without the silent threat of a plumbing leak. From a dripping faucet in a Midtown condo to a hidden slab leak in a Buckhead home, water leaks are a common but potentially destructive problem. They can lead to significant water damage, encourage mold growth, and cause your water bill to skyrocket. The key is to address them quickly and professionally, and for that, Atlanta residents trust Atlantis Plumbing.

Identifying Common Household Leaks

Leaks can spring up anywhere water flows, but some types are more common than others in Atlanta homes. Recognizing them is the first step toward a solution.

Fixture and Appliance Leaks: The most obvious culprits are often dripping faucets, constantly running toilets, and leaky showerheads. Don't forget the hoses connected to your washing machine, dishwasher, and water heater, which can wear out over time.

Pipe Leaks: Pipes under sinks, in basements, or in crawlspaces can corrode or have their joints fail, leading to slow drips or steady streams of water.

Hidden Leaks: The most dangerous leaks are the ones you can't see. Pipes behind walls, in ceilings, or under floors can cause immense damage before you even spot a water stain.

Slab Leaks: A particularly serious issue where a water line beneath your home's concrete foundation breaks. This can compromise the structural integrity of your entire house if not addressed immediately.

Ignoring a small leak is like ignoring a small fire. It will inevitably grow and cause far more damage than if it were handled right away.

Don't Wait for a Disaster—Know the Warning Signs

Your home will often give you clues that a leak is present. If you notice any of the following, it's time to call a professional immediately:

• A sudden, unexplained increase in your water bill.
• The sound of running water when all taps are off.
• The appearance of mold, mildew, or dark stains on walls and ceilings.
• Warped flooring or peeling paint.
• A persistent musty or earthy smell.
• A warm spot on your floor, indicating a hot water line leak.
